21 Chump Street: An Introduction To Musical Theatre
The New York Times

Are you kind of on the edge of theatre? You might be thinking "I don't know, it might not be something I'm into, but it might be cool?" I know that's how I was before I really got into plays and musicals, and now I'm obsessed with most musicals I come in contact with. So if you're having the same thoughts as I did, I recommend starting your musical experience with Lin-Manuel Miranda's "21 Chump Street."

It's a new-aged love story about a guy named Justin who would do anything for Naomi, a gorgeous transfer student who's in two of his classes. Naomi ultimately asks Justin for a favor that may or may not be legal, thus Justin goes to great lengths to get her to be with him. "21 Chump Street" deals with problems we face in our world today. It has multiple twists and turns with a not-so expected ending that really shows how theatre can tug at your heartstrings.

Now I know what some of you are thinking, who has time to watch or listen to a whole musical? That's okay, I understand most are super long. The great thing about "21 Chump Street" though is that's perfect for the type of person whose super busy. It's not even fifteen minutes long and somehow still manages to make you feel a wide range of emotions.

Different people do have different tastes in musicals though, so if you end up not liking "21 Chump Street," don't give up on theatre! There's an insane amount of musicals and plays out in the world, you just have to find the right one that fits for you. I believe that "21 Chump Street" is just a good musical to start for those who truly don't know where to begin. Even if you already are in love with musicals, "21 Chump Street" is still an amazing production to listen to and experience. Below is the full musical soundtrack if you're interested in listening. I hope that you take the chance with musical theatre, whether it's just an appreciator of the soundtracks or an actor in a real musical.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
