Little House the Musical


Rating: NSS
It seems as though there is a new musical for the old (and not so old stories) these days. There’s one for the Wicked Witch of the West, one for Mary Poppins, even one for Elle Woods and her trip to Harvard; therefore, it is no surprise that there is a Little House on the Prairie musical.
According to MPR, the show is doing well in Minnesota; again, no big surprise as Laura Ingalls Wilder is revered as a Minnesota author, even though she lived there for fewer than 10 years when she was young and did all her writing in Missouri. It was pretty clever of them to cast Melissa Gilbert as Ma. The musical’s creators plan to take it on tour before taking it to Broadway. If it comes to the Gateway City, I’d like to see it.
I wonder if any of the convention attendees will buy a ticket or two at Labor Day. . .the Guthrie is only on the other side of the river from the Xcel Center, you know.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West
 

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.
