The Sound of Music sing-along. You may not know it, but Seattle is very supportive of musical theater. Hairspray and Shrek premiered here, and almost every year the major theater downtown hosts a little something called the Sound of Music Sing-Along. In fact, it happened today. Basically, a bunch of musical-loving geeks, like me, raptly watch the epic film and sing along with every song. We clutch little sprigs of eidelweiss in our hands and shake swatches of ugly curtain fabric in the air. There is almost nothing that makes my heart happier than being with over 1,000 people, hissing at the Baroness, booing at the Nazis, and swooning when the Captain finally reveals his love to Maria. Before the movie starts there is a costume parade across the stage and this year I marched proudly as "raindrops on roses." I know you are jealous, Jason, but I promise you can go with me next year. Start thinking about your costume now - no nuns or goat herds allowed; they are just too easy.Shout out to Tamara for going with me - you are one of my favorite things!
