 Music is my escape besides writing. When  I am feeling down, all I have to do is put all of my show tunes on shuffle and my mood lifts. I thought I could talk about the musical that changed it all for me.

I remember it well, I was in the car with my mom listening to NPR and a story about Avenue Q. It seemed very interesting so I went home and researched it as well as other musicals. Then, I came across Wicked as well as the classics of course. 

Now, when it comes to the title of this entry, I relied on one of my favorite movies, turned into a musical. It has one of my heroes in it of course. Dolly Parton is amazing all around. She sings, writes her music, produced 9 to 5: The Musical and such. As a kid, I was always told that I should look up to strong women and Dolly is that exact thing. 

Amazing how music influences us all huh?
