Musicals

Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/category/word-of-the-day/

I remember watching musicals when I was young. The song and dance routines were always great fun to watch. My favourite dancer was Gene Kelly. He was the first dancer to use roller skates and dustbin lids in his dance routines.

My favourite movie is Singing in the Rain, where he played an actor in silent films, having to learn how to sing and speak in talkies. He acted with Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds.

There were no computers to entertain us. That is a good thing. I have many beautiful memories and singing along (badly). I loved dancing, so these movies always made me smile.
