Living life in a Musical

I remember as a young child going to my first musical theater performance.  It was "Annie" and was showing at the Fisher Theater in Detroit, Michigan.  I loved everything about the experience, but also remembered thinking how strange it was that in the middle of a play, everyone would suddenly start singing and dancing. That aspect of musicals (still one of my favorite genre of theater) has always made me laugh a bit inside, imagining what would life be like if that were to actually happen.  It turns out, I don't need to imagine that anymore because I am living it here at Ramah!  At any random moment, a song will come blaring out and everyone will stop what they are doing and join in song and dance, like this moment at the end of "Zimkudiyah" (the song and dance festival evening), where after singing the camp song (as expected) everyone is milling around and talking, when suddenly another song comes blaring out and everyone breaks into song and dance. Watch and enjoy! Following this video, go to my youtube channel for the Zimkudiayah Videos (by Edah - sorry no Magshimim!), selections from the A-Side drama chug performance of Free to Be You and Me and  (coming soon) selections from Machon's outstanding all Hebrew performance of Joseph and the Amazing Techicolor Dreamcoat
