What is your favorite musical? I love musicals, whether a play or movie, so I probably have a lot of them...Oklahoma, Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins, Annie, Pete's Dragon, Joseph and the Amazing Techincolor Dreamcoat and MANY more that I just can't think of right now. The other day Mom sent me a video of Donny Osmond responding to someone's online challenge to sing "Any Dream Will Do" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Donny was Joseph in the production the first time I ever saw it. Super dreamy in his dreamcoat, that's for sure! After hearing that one song, which I may have sung aloud in my office at work, I was inspired to listen to the whole soundtrack again. It is available in it's entirety on Amazon Music for those who have Prime. I downloaded it and Charlie and I set off running to "Any Dream Will Do" this morning in this weather. The parts that don't look slushy are about an inch deep in water. I hate wet feet, but after the first block, they were just cold and didn't notice the wet so much. It would have been a pretty gross run without hearing about Joseph's dreams and Potiphar's wife who wasn't a very nice person. With the exception of the one song when Joseph was in prison which is kind of a ballad, the soundtrack makes good exercise music. We were pretty wet when we got done. When we returned, I immediately wrapped Charlie in a towel and put him in the bath where we continued to belt out "Go Go Go Joseph!" Charlie is not a fan of bathing, but he stood in there pretty well today. Perhaps the singing was confusing enough for me to get the job done before he knew what was happening. We've been done an hour already and Charlie is still wet and holding a bit of a grudge. He likes to hide but isn't too good at it, like one of our favorite lines from another fun musical movie, Wizard of Oz, "Disregard the man (little dog) behind the curtain!" Did you see Charlie’s foot sticking out? Please add your favorite musicals to the Comments! It would be fun to see if we could make a good running playlist of soundtrack songs. “Brazzle Dazzle Day" from Pete’s Dragon would be a good one for near the end of a race. Happy running! Missee
