13: the musical

I am so angry that this show exists and that I can never, ever be in it. How dare you, JRB, how dare you???

I loved 13. How the HELL are these kids so talented and how did you find them? What was it: some kind of talented kid casting call? UGH.

Sadly, even if 13 would have come out when I WAS 13, or 12, or 11, or even 10, no one would have believed that I was young enough to be in it. I was just never that youthful.

Music and Lyrics: Jason Robert Brown

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING

I started my Musical Theatre Journey in 1996 when I was 13, during a time when people still had to buy CDs if they wanted to listen to music that wasn't on the radio. CDs of showtunes were $18+ and only available at a mythical place called Border's. As time went on, iTunes was released, and then YouTube, and I could buy or listen to musicals more easily, but I got way more into rock music and basically stopped listening to, or researching, any musicals.

In July 2015 when I realized I could listen to almost any cast recording ever made on Apple Music, I decided to start in alphabetical order (with the numbers first). This is my experience with every show, ever.
