Hello again!

Well, it has been quite a while since my Tony bitterness and a new round of musicals has appeared for mass judgment! This blog post will not be about that, as my faith in the Tony selection process has not returned and I do not expect it to. In any case, since it has been so long since I began this blog, I decided it would be a good idea to continue it. Just because I haven't written in a while does not mean that I haven't been seeing musicals—far from it! In fact, I've seen so many this year that I had to buy a new Playbill binder to accommodate them all. It seems fitting that my first post back should be about one of my favorite Broadway stars, Idina Menzel, who in the time since my last post has created quite the new name for herself by singing "Let It Go" in Disney's Frozen. This post will not be about that, but will rather focus on the musical. I should, however, preface this by saying: as with all of my blog posts, I am biased. These are not reviews, but my personal opinions. I do not expect anyone to agree with me completely, or always. In this case, Idina Menzel has been one of my favorite Broadway singers for most of my life, and there is no way I can critique her objectively. I could write as though I weren't so biased, but the truth is, there is no interest in that. All I can promise is that I will write about the musical as I see fit, with the understanding that I am more inclined to favor Idina Menzel's performance no matter what. For anyone who might be reading this, I hope you can forgive me that.
