The Music in Me

In this episode of The Music in Me, I’m celebrating some of my favorite duets from musicals! There’s something special about hearing two characters share a song, whether they’re falling in love, celebrating a friendship, arguing, competing, or just being completely over-the-top. I’m talking about fourteen unforgettable duets, including “All I Ask of You” from The Phantom of the Opera, “For Good” from Wicked, “Suddenly Seymour” from Little Shop of Horrors, “Take Me or Leave Me” from Rent, “The Confrontation” from Les Misérables, and plenty more. And, of course, we’ll finish with the wonderfully dramatic “Agony” from Into the Woods. Along the way, I’ll share the stories behind these songs, what’s happening between the characters, and what makes each duet so memorable. From romance and friendship to rivalry and heartbreak, these songs prove that sometimes one voice just isn’t enough!

In this very special episode of The Music in Me, I'm paying tribute to an artist who has meant so much to me throughout my life—the incomparable Dolly Parton. I've loved Dolly's music for as long as I can remember, but what I loved even more was the woman behind the songs. Her kindness, humor, generosity, faith, incredible storytelling, and ability to always be unapologetically herself made her truly one of a kind. I'll be sharing some of my favorite Dolly songs, from classics like “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” and “I Will Always Love You” to personal favorites including “Light of a Clear Blue Morning,” “Backwoods Barbie,” and many more. Along the way, I'll share some interesting stories behind the music and, most importantly, why these songs are special to me. I'll begin with “Love Is Like a Butterfly,” the Dolly song that closed my 50th birthday episode, and end with the beautiful “When I Get Where I'm Going.” This episode is more than a look back at Dolly's music. It's my personal love letter to a remarkable woman whose songs became part of the soundtrack of my life.

Dolly, this one's for you. ❤️

🎂🎶 I’m turning 50, and I’m celebrating the only way I know how—through MUSIC! 🎶🎂

Come celebrate this milestone with me as I take a musical trip through my first 50 years! From my earliest childhood memories to the music that filled my school years, I’m revisiting some of the artists and songs that helped create the soundtrack of my life. We’re going back to the 80s and 90s for Michael Jackson, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Bon Jovi, boy bands, girl groups, 90s country, powerhouse women like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears, plus some unforgettable songs from movies and musicals. And, of course, I have a few honorable mentions because there are WAY too many artists I loved to fit into one episode! These aren't necessarily the greatest songs ever recorded, they're the songs that bring back memories, moments, feelings, and different versions of me throughout the years. I'll laugh, I'll reminisce, and I may even embarrass myself a little as I look back at the music I grew up with and the songs that still make me want to sing along today! And I'm saving one very special song for the end—one by an artist who has held a special place in my heart for basically my entire life. So, turn up the volume and come celebrate 50 years of Teri, memories, and the music that made me who I am. This is my birthday. This is my soundtrack.🎶🎂❤️

I love to sing, but there’s just one problem—I’m way too shy to sing karaoke in front of strangers! In this episode of The Music in Me, I’m talking about some of the most popular karaoke songs and what makes them so much fun to sing, from “Sweet Caroline” and “Don’t Stop Believin’” to “Livin’ on a Prayer,” “Dancing Queen,” “Shallow,” “Mr. Brightside,” and more. Then I’m getting personal and sharing some of my own favorite karaoke songs, including Broadway favorites, Disney songs, powerhouse vocals from Whitney Houston, Adele, P!nk, Sia, Frank Sinatra, and three of my favorite Alicia Keys songs. Some of these songs have special memories attached to them, some I used to sing over and over on my old karaoke machine, and others became favorites from singing them in my bedroom or car while pretending I was the original artist. Turn up the volume and sing along with me—just don’t ask me to do it in front of a crowd!

In this Father’s Day episode of The Music in Me, I’m diving into the powerful, emotional, and sometimes unexpected ways musical theater portrays fathers and father figures. After doing a Mother’s Day episode celebrating moms in musicals, I knew I wanted to continue the tradition and shine a light on dads this time around. In this episode, I explore songs that show the many sides of fatherhood—fathers dreaming about the future, fathers trying to connect with their children, fathers who aren’t perfect, fathers who sacrifice everything, and the quiet beauty of watching children grow up. Some of these songs are longtime favorites of mine, and others were brand new discoveries I found while researching this episode, and I honestly fell in love with them. From classics like Les Misérables and Fiddler on the Roof to modern favorites like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, and Ragtime, each song adds a different layer to what it means to be a father or father figure. This episode is heartfelt, reflective, and deeply personal as I also take a moment to celebrate the important father figures in my own life. Whether you're celebrating, remembering, or simply reflecting this Father’s Day, I hope these songs from musical theater resonate with you as much as they did with me.

SONGS MENTIONED…

• ·       Soliloquy from Carousel
• ·       Dear Theodosia from Hamilton
• ·       Wheels of a Dream from Ragtime
• ·       To Break in a Glove from Dear Evan Hansen
• ·       Hey Kid from If/Then
• ·       Daddy Knows Best from SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical
• ·       Not My Father’s Son from Kinky Boots
• ·       Like Father, Like Son from Aida
• ·       Dead Man’s Boots from The Last Ship
• ·       Bring Him Home from Les Misérables
• ·       You’re Daddy’s Son from Ragtime
• ·       No Matter What from Beauty and the Beast
• ·       Something Was Missing from Annie
• ·       Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof
