Hey hey,
I'm Lauren, some of you may recognise me because I volunteer here occasionally; I also work for the counselling team and staff lead of the Services Innovator Committee (SIC).
I have a confession to make - I loathe musicals, which to 90% of my friendship circles is a massive sin. I want to try a nice variety of musicals to see if maybe, just maybe, I don't mind them or if I can confirm that musicals are just not my cup of tea.
I have no requirements - I am willing to give anything a go. I am prone to feeling f e e l s so maybe one with a banging heartfelt tune is a win for me.
Just for ease - these musicals need to be available online because for obvs reasons, I can't go to the West End to see them, but hey, I have a Drama degree with discounts to theatres, so maybe if you help me find the musicals for me, it could be something to consider!!
Keep being awesome,
Lauren

Edit: Nope, not good at all
How many boxes of tissues will I need for these two??
I just finished Sweeney Todd, and I LOVED that one. Maybe it was because it was so bonkers and I cannot stop singing 'Johannnnaaaaaaaaaa'.
Tomorrow I am going for Les Mis, followed by something upbeat - @Gemma recommended Mamma Mia, so might give that a whirl. Any other upbeat ones I can stream online? There were loads of cool ones mentioned, like Waitress, Dear Evans, Heathers - put I am not sure if I can stream em?
Still haven't got round to Les Mis, but it is on my to watch list!

It's going to be hard to find a musical as good at this, but I do love a challenge
Where do I start??! I watched the Greatest Showman and I cannot stop bopping away to some of those bangers. It felt wholesome, not my favourite, but good songs.
Can we count A Star Is Born? If so, gave that a watch. I thought the actual story element was a bit bland tbh, very predictable, but then again this version is based on all the other versions of the film, so I guess that's why it felt predictable. Banging songs though. I can see why Lady Gaga got so many awards for the music.
I watched Mamma Mia and I LOVED it. Even went through both of the films in one day
@Emoji246 that is a really good recommendation! I know heaps of people who watched and loved the HSM series. I somehow managed to avoid it all through school, but maybe it's time for me to bite the bullet and go full on 2000s again!
