Musical Night

Tonight "all the world's a stage."
I ended up putting the musical "Chicago" on Netflix.  If there is one musical I can watch over and over again it's that.  I love how the whole movie is a big metaphor for life's a stage.  The concept is the main charecter Roxie Hart  wants to be an actress so she sees her life as a show . The movie transitions between fantasy and reality as Roxie is put on trial for murder, which Roxie realizes she can use to get what she wants- to be onstage. 
After that, I put on a tale as old as time "Beauty and the Beast." I put it in right now the movie I can not wait to see is the live action version of  "Beauty and the Beast." I am really excited to see what Emma Watson did with the part of Belle. "Beauty and the Beast"  has been my favorite Disney movie since it came out in 1991. (I don't have a problem , do I ?)
I love it because it is the most complex of the fairy tales. Instead of the typical boy meets girl, they fall in love instantly and then there is some sort of obstacle  they have to overcome before they can be together, Belle  doesn't want to be with the Beast at all in the beginning. It's not until later on in the movie that Belle and the Beast develop a friendship, and then ultimately a romance.
I can relate because even today my mom can tell you like Belle, I always have my head in the clouds. Plus, the townspeople say it's ironic the fact that Belle's name means beauty. I find it ironic my name, Donna means lady. I still wonder if I live up to that name.
I know I am still  a big kid for the most part. I am still waiting for my acceptance letter to go to Hogwarts.  I am not motivated to clean until I need to, and I drink way too much coffee.
If I don't live up to it now, I hope I do someday.
Love you all
Donna
