Dream by Amelia Ray
When I was at university in D.C. in the 90s, my group of friends and I often ran into a musical theatre major named Sarah at parties. Where others spoke, Sarah preferred to sing, and conversations with her felt like being in a musical. We dubbed her "Showtune Sarah".
A few months ago, I caught myself singing to trees and plants and animals and rolls of toilet paper in the grocery store. I thought, "Oh, dear. I've turned into Showtune Sarah!" I realised that, I, too, had finally embraced the joy and freedom of singing life.
"Dream" – a tribute to musicals – is a recognition of Showtune Sarah's passion, and is dedicated to lovers of musicals everywhere.
Each line in "Dream" references at least one musical (there are 50 musicals referenced total). I hope you enjoy the song and the task of figuring out which musicals are referenced, should you choose to participate.
Sing like no one is listening.
