Play Review: Disney’s Newsies The Musical

When Disney produces Tony Award winning musicals, you must take note. As soon as the cast of Newsies gathered together for the opening ensemble number, Carrying the Banner, I remembered why I insisted on seeing this show a second time.

Newsies is an incredibly high-energy show with flawlessly synchronized choreography that includes pirouettes and tap dancing. It’s a charming tale about the underdog fighting against a corporate giant. The story follows a group of poor boys who sell newspapers, or “papes,” as they call them.

Book Review: Who Do You Love

As a major Jennifer Weiner fan, I was delighted to get a sneak peek at her latest novel, Who Do You Love. The novel tells the story of Rachel and Andy, two Americans who meet in the ER and reunite again and again as they grow up and fall in love. Their bond is strong enough to let them survive a long distance relationship and they remain top-of-mind for each other as circumstances tear them apart. The characters are raw, realistic and believable.

The book starts off with a slow pace, but the plot thickens as soon as Rachel and Andy enter their teenage years. Weiner dedicates the beginning of the book to establishing Rachel and Andy’s immediate circle of family and friends, and then the book becomes more interesting as Rachel and Andy become independent, leaving their parents’ homes behind.

Domino’s Trains Customers To Be Emoji Literate

As far as I’m concerned, pizza is always a good decision. Whether it’s a late night snack or a work lunch, pizza always hits the spot. My go-to is Pizza Pizza for taste and convenience, but now that I’ve seen Domino’s latest marketing stunt, they’re definitely on my radar and deserve to be on yours too.

Domino’s has targeted millennials and their families by creating emoji flashcards to enable more consumers to be emoji literate. This was such a brilliant gimmick that the flashcards were all claimed instantly. That said, I can’t comment on how many they produced. However, you can still print your own flashcards from their campaign website.

Transform Your Trip With Disney’s MagicBands

Wearable technology is no longer an innovation to fantasize about; it’s actively shaping how we interact with brands. Before there was the Apple Watch, Disney invested $1 billion in introducing MagicBands to Walt Disney World guests.

I’m proud to say that I’m still a child at heart and I love all things Disney. I experienced the benefits of the MagicBands technology firsthand on my last trip to Walt Disney World.

Vroom Vroom For Volkswagen

To keep things fresh and exhilarating online, Volkswagen has launched a virtual recording studio. Business Insider reports that the inspiration behind the campaign was imagination. “We now have the power of technology to enhance our imagination, and to visualize the power of our voice,” says Volkswagen of America VP of marketing Vinay Shahani.

While promoting their Golf R, Volkswagen presents users with the chance to record themselves making car noises and then pairs the recording with a video of a car outside. Each recording is only ten seconds long, but it seems anything but short when you’re filming it. I invite you to check it out and challenge yourself to make epic car sounds.
