[quote="Squeely"]Why didn't I think of this before? Listen to musicals in German! It helps if they're musicals you're familiar with, all the easier to figure out the meaning of things without having to look up a translation. The German cast recording of RENT actually taught me quite a bit.[/quote]
I've actually been doing this for the past week, with Wicked.

Luckily, YouTube has the songs with subs and trans, so, in case of doubt, I can always check them.

[quote="Squeely"]I liked Idina Menzel before she was cool. I liked her before she was gleeful. I liked her before she was enchanted. I liked her before she was wicked. I liked her before a film version of RENT was made. Even got her solo albums that predate it.
I am an Idina Menzel hipster.[/quote]
Don't forget Frozen, too. But, yep, Idina is a
Queen.
The pun was unintended, omg.
