Musical Theatre Dork Mondays: A little sing songin'

Today's Musical Theatre Dork Monday blog is short, but sweet. You may remember in my first Musical Theatre Dork Monday post, I talked a little about William Finn and my love for his mash-up of 'I'd Rather Be Sailing' from 'A New Brain', and 'Set Those Sails' from 'In Trousers'.


A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of getting to sing this mash-up at a Cabaret in Toronto. My dear friend Jeff Jones hosts a monthly Cabaret filled with lots of Toronto talent every last Sunday of the month at the Dominion on Queen Street. You should go!


Here's the mash-up, performed last Sunday alongside my boyfriend, Arthur Wright. Enjoy!

Fairytale Fridays: All I ask is that you leave me my imagination.

First of all, I can't tell you how much everyone's responses on my last blog mean to me. This week certainly hasn't been easy - but to know how much support I have from all you wonderful people means more than you'll ever know.


Today is kind of a mix of a Fairytale Friday and musical theatre dorkedom as well. This song reminds me exactly of how I felt about fairytales when I was little. This is the incomparable Stephanie J. Block singing 'Never Neverland' from 'Piece - the Musical', composed by Scott Alan
