I have mixed feelings about the stage play of Moulin Rouge, which is frustrating considering Aaron Tveit is one of my favorite Broadway actors and Moulin Rouge is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I digress. In the original movie, there was only one original song: Come What May. It was originally written for Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet, but made it into Moulin Rouge instead.

Moulin Rouge is such a great movie (have not seen the musical). Rent is a good and i first heard of it and saw clips of a Broadway production of it when i was in like 4th or 5th grade (i.e. late 80s/early 90s) and it hit me in the feels. And i've never heard of the third one. Regardless, great job on these! makes me want to do pieces based on songs. haven't done that in YEARS!

I got my first valentines today(at 25), and I'm living on cloud nine till further notice. I also gave all my co-workers chocolate, our neighbors(we share the building) got balloons; and one of my coworkers got balloons, and chocolate because I asked what she would like and got "make me feel special" as an answer. She is also getting chocolate covered strawberries, when strawberries are back in stock. As romance heavy as valentines can be, I love my coworkers, and that's what I chose to focus on. So, a Very Happy Valentines to you all! (And I need to look up, & Juliet. I think my mom would live it.)

One of my favorite musical love songs is "Ten Minutes Ago" from the 1997 movie adaptation of Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella.
