15 things I'd love to see turned into a Broadway musical

Tons of things are getting turned into musicals these days, so why not these? Note that these include ideas for funny musicals as well as serious ones.
  1. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Songs are already written, just need some editing to make it into s concise musical.
  2. Firefly. Whedon stuff has had musical aspects before, so why not a Firefly musical?
  3. The saga of Chance the Snapper. Discovery, alligator Bob's failure, the arrival of alligator Robb, and the reveal that Chance is not, in fact, an alligator. It's all there. I'd pay for this.
  4. Are You the One?. So many actors would be needed, but god this insanity of a show could make a very entertaining musical.
  5. Scooby Doo. This could be so goofy, so campy, and oh so fun.
  6. Geekerella. This precious YA novel has such heart that I think could carry through to the stage.
  7. Camel corps times. Hey did you know that we used to have troops on camels? No? Well this musical could teach you all about them.
  8. Brooklyn 99. This show is so delightful and I can only imagine a musical version would be the same.
  9. The story of King Henry VIII. His reign has a ton of drama, murder, delusion, and politics. It could be a really tragic musical, maybe a bit of a Sweeney Todd vibe.
  10. Buzzfeed Unsolved. Maybe Ryan and Shane could end up getting chased by something and Ryan thinks it's a demon and Shane thinks it's related to the true crime stuff they do. But, of course, it will have to remain...unsolved. There would also be a hot doga interlude.
  11. The Emu War. Hey remember that time humans fought emus and lost? No? Well this musical would make sure you did.
  12. The life of Frida Kahlo. Her life has so many intense moments that it could easily carry a show.
  13. Moana. How is that not already on Broadway?
  14. Clue. I have thought about staging this movie as a play, but music could really just add to it.
  15. Rajneeshpuram. This group is intricate, spiritual, and dangerous. All of those seem like they would lend well to a staged musical.

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
