The Fortnight of Song Blog Party Is Here!

Folks, can I have your attention,please?  Your attention, please? 

Today is the first day of....

*Grace throws confetti while 

Katherine releases balloons*

We just can't wait to fill the "blogosphere" with the Sound of Music!

Depending on your weather you might even be Singin' in the Rain!

And if you ask nicely, you might even persuade the Fiddler on the Roof to accompany you...

If any of you, My Fair Ladies, need a refresher course on the rules, whys and wherefores of this party, please refer to this post.

For those of you who would wish to participate in this party, but do not wish to sing, we will have multiple (non-vocal😊) activities throughout the fortnight which we'd love to see you take part in!

We'd like to put a disclaimer here at the beginning of our festivities:

All musicals we mention during the course of this party may include material in them that we do not agree with or stand behind.  Depending on the particular instance, we may choose to enjoy only a portion of a musical's soundtrack/production and skip over the "undesirables".  This is purely our personal choice and we encourage you to do your own research.

We are so excited this party is finally here and have written a musical parody "in honor of the day" to (hopefully) "spur you on to musicals heights"!

(Lyrics are in the video's description)

Go ahead, tell us how awful it was.  Yes, well, ahem, don't let our bumbling debuting abilities discourage you.  

-Well, I couldn't really sing, you may say. 

-Well, yes you could, we would say, you have a lovely voice!

- Oh, surely not, you may still say.

- Surely yes, we would still say.

- But what would I sing, you would ask?

- And we'd say, EVERYTHING!!

- And you'd say, I tried already!  I have scoured the beast of the internet, searching for the "song" of my dreams and have now lost all hope, lying upon my fainting couch in despair....Woe is me...

- *After recovering from your speech, we would find our voices and reply*

Well, never fear! Your friends, the Maidens are here to assist thee!  

So, Ladies, below is a list of musicals that
