Thursday night I made an awesome decision and decided to watch “Waiting for Guffman.” I have seen it a million times, but I haven’t watched it lately–which made it that much better! If you haven’t seen it, it’s a mockumentary about small-town community theater, from the same people who did “Best in Show.”

Too funny to even fully explain. LOVE.
Anyway, it reminded me of my amateur theater days, so for the new playlist, I decided to pay a little homage to that!
There are so many fun musicals out there, but I have a soft spot for the ones I was in, and this list definitely represents my personal preference for more modern stuff. So, theater kids, don’t hate! Seriously, I know how pretentious you can be, since I was once one of you.
Anyway, hope this helps channel your inner thespian!
