29 years ago on this day, a show premiered in London.
4 years ago it was revived.
3 years ago I was suicidal.
3 years ago my life changed when I heard "Dream, the dream I long to find the movie in my mind." and I broke down crying. I had never felt that connected to a show before. I had never had something speak to me like that.
1 year ago I saw this production live on Broadway and I've never had a theatrical experience like that before. I cried during "Kim's Nightmare" and I cried at the end.
Today. Today I'm here and it's because of this show.
Happy 29th anniversary Miss Saigon. Thank you for everything you've done for me and the rest of the world.

Thank You: A Moment of Reflection
With everything that is going on in the world right now I wanted to take a quick moment to reflect and say "Thank you." I started this blog in 2014 and it started with me being on vocal rest and my first ever post series The Vocal Rest Diaries and for some crazy reason, I decided to make a blog. I wasn't expecting much to come from it. I just wanted to try something new. I never, ever expected in a million years that it would turn into this. I just can't believe how much has happened.
I'm just amazed that all of this came from something as silly as me being pissed about being on vocal rest. I just want to appreciate anyone/everyone who have supported me in some way on this journey. I look forward to what comes next and I hope you will stay by my side.

Marin Mazzie
The wonderful and talented Marin Mazzie has passed away. Marin was a huge inspiration and a phenomenal actress with a career spanning over 4 decades. She was last seen on Broadway in the Lincoln Center revival of The King and I in 2015. Marin is survived by her husband Jason Danieley, currently starring in Pretty Woman on Broadway, and she will be missed dearly. Below I have attached a clip of my favorite performance she's done Margaret White in Carrie.
