Dancing through Life

Matt and I often carpool down to Manzini together. The other morning he got in my car and said, "Whaaat is this?!?!". To which, I replied, "Wicked...the musical". He just looked at me, rolled his eyes a little and said, "you have the most diverse collection of music of anyone I know". I realized then that many of my friends in Swaziland are oblivious to my ability to "sing" multiple musical soundtracks word for word. This talent was inherited from my mom and was cultivated on many a roadtrip throughout my childhood with my earliest memories being of "Pirates of Penzance", "Man of LaMancha" and "Camelot". I was telling Matt that I kind of view them as early "books on tape". They seemed to make the time go faster because it was not only music, but a story as well. I am currently hooked on "Wicked". I realized though when I woke up singing, "Dancing through Life" that perhaps for the sake of those around me, I need to move on. Can anyone suggest a new musical for me?

Sorry - the ones we've seen lately don't have any memorable songs! I'm still hooked on Wicked, Les Mis, occasionally Rent, and (blush) Mama Mia.
