Today I thought it would be fun to do The Musical Theatre Book Tag. This tag was created by somethinglikelydia. You can check out her original video now. 

If you didn’t know I’m a massive musical theatre fan. It’s one of my favourite things to do, so this year on top of everything else has been a bummer for musical theatre. There are a number of shows that obviously didn’t go ahead. So to make me feel a little better, I decided to do this tag about something I love. Anyway, here we go. 

1. Wicked – Favourite fictional friendship

The friendship between the ladies in Lisa Kleypas’ The Wallflowers series is high on my list. I love that these ‘outcasts’ find solace in one another and together the group turns into a fantastic friendship. The friendship in this one just makes me smile. It makes me happy. 

It’s a friendship that I would love to see in more books for sure. 

2. Sweeney Todd – Favourite villain

Ohh this one is so hard. But after reading it I would have to go with Queen Levana from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. She is cunning and manipulative but that is what makes her so interesting. I liked how her character was explored. She is just an interesting villain that isn’t a cookie-cutter like others. 

3. Phantom of the Opera – Favourite love triangle

This is a really hard one for me because I really don’t like love triangles. It’s one of my least favourite tropes and I try and avoid reading it as much as possible. However, the love triangle in The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare is fantastic. It’s one of my favourites and one of the only ones that I truly love reading. 

4. The Lion King – Favourite sidekick

Can I go with sidekicks? Because I think the children from The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune are magnificent. I adore then with every fibre in my body. If you haven’t read this book yet, just do it for me. I can’t pick any of these children as my favourite they are all just fantastic and brilliant. You can check out my full review now. 

5. Grease – Least favourite ending

The ending of The Divergent series by Veronica Roth was pretty blah. It just felt so weak to me. It just felt like a waste of time for me. I wanted to like this series – and I will tell you it was a smart and different ending. But I felt cheated. 

6. Matilda: The Musical – Favourite adaptation of a book

This isn’t a hard question for me. The Hunger Games trilogy‘s adaptations are some of the best I’ve seen. It’s exactly what I look for me in an adaptation and there isn’t much that I can say to fault it. Catching Fire is hands down the best adaptation that I’ve seen. 

7. Les Miserables – Favourite death in a book

This another one is so hard for me. I honestly can’t think of one. I sat here for ages trying to figure something out for this one and couldn’t.

Anyway, that is this tag done! I had so much doing it. I tag Ely from Earl Grey Books. And anyone else that wants to do it. 

Do you like Musicals? Have you done this tag yet? What would you pick for these questions? Let’s Chat!
