In my twenties (which feels like a past life), I was a working musical theatre professional in New York City.  Yes, I regularly got up in front of people and sang… and enjoyed it.

So I was particularly thrilled to hear that Andrew Lloyd Webber is teaming up with gaming professionals.  What’s even more interesting is that game publishers welcome this collaboration due to “…more female gamers in the traditionally male-dominated game consumer demographic…”  How fascinating!

“The first Lloyd-Webber titles will let players audition for roles and sing along as characters in the composer’s shows.”  Wow!  No longer can I use the excuse that I’m too old to audition for American Idol.  Now, I can sing directly for Andy from my own home!  God, I love technology!

Oh Stephen?  Mr. Sondheim?  Are you out there?  Please may I someday audition virtually for you too?
