In My Life: The Musical, the main characters are Philip and Emily, two Long Island teens who travel to New York City on the Long Island Rail Road every weekend to see the Broadway musical they're obsessed with.
Which of the characters in My Life: The Musical shares the most in common with you and your real life? (Gee, do you think we'll get along?) We kicked things off with discussion of her latest novel for teens and went on from there. First up is the multi-talented Maryrose Wood, an author, actress, and librettist whose writing garden is filled kittens, fairies, and musicals. Today, I'm interviewing two delightful Marys. But first they ll put their friendship to the ultimate test, solve Broadway s biggest mystery and spend one unforgettable night at the theater.Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? What, exactly, is the one sure thing in show business? How will they pay back the money they owe Grandma Rose? And why hasn t Philip asked Emily out on a real date? As they go to hilarious lengths to indulge their passion for Aurora, Emily and Philip must face the fact that all shows close sooner or later.
Thanks to a secret loan from Emily’s grandma Rose, seeing the Saturday matinee has become a weekly ritual that makes real life seem dull and drab by comparison.īut when the theater chat rooms start buzzing with crazy rumors that Aurora might close, Emily and Philip find themselves grappling with some truly show stopping questions. Their love for the hit show whose reclusive author has never been named is nothing short of an obsession. To best friends and devoted theater fans Emily and Philip, Aurora is no ordinary Broadway musical.
But mysteries abound at Ashton Place: Who are these three wild creatures, and how did they come to live in the vast forests of the estate? Why does Old Timothy, the coachman, lurk around every corner? Will Penelope be able to teach the Incorrigibles table manners and socially useful phrases in time for Lady Constance’s holiday ball? And what on earth is a schottische? Though she is eager to instruct the children in Latin verbs and the proper use of globes, first she must help them overcome their canine tendencies. Only fifteen years old and a recent graduate of the Swanburne Academy for Poor Bright Females, Penelope embraces the challenge of her new position. Luckily, Miss Penelope Lumley is no ordinary governess. Found running wild in the forest of Ashton Place, the Incorrigibles are no ordinary children: Alexander, age ten or thereabouts, keeps his siblings in line with gentle nips Cassiopeia, perhaps four or five, has a bark that is usually worse than her bite and Beowulf, age somewhere in the middle, is alarmingly adept at chasing squirrels.
