We all have our personal preferences, but there are a few traits all Musical Theatre nerds share. Whether it's arguing over who gets to sing lead in the car or spending most of our paycheques on tickets to see our favourite stars live onstage, we relate to a LOT of what this video has to say, and as if the concept it wasn't awesome enough, the geekery is sung as a musical number! Seriously...this may be the best video on the internet right now...

We all remember the final day at school right? So many emotions rolled into one epic, long mix of tediousness, joy, sadness and relief. It's almost theatrical, right? Students, teachers (and sometimes parents) sitting in a stuffy room while people talk at them from a stage into a mic. Well, for one school in Bath, the long tradition of speeches and assemblys took a dramatic twist as their principal Chris Wheeler launched into a rousing rendition of the LES MISARABLES classic "One Day More". And that wasn't all...soon all the teachers were at it! Needless to say, they got a well deserved standing ovation...
