The Curiously Beautiful Life of Marie Miller

The Best View in Budapest
Dear World, Tess and I had a lovely time in Budapest! If a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few! The best part of Budapest was the view of the city from St. Stephen’s castle, and I also personally enjoyed shopping. Note my new black slacks. Every night we...

Vikings, Beer, and Freddie Mercury: Tales from Europe Part 1
Dear World, Greetings from Europe! I can truly say my first show in Europe was incredible! I performed for about 100 people for a special event at the most popular brewery in Aarhus, Denmark. After the show I chatted with many of the wonderful people who attended the...

LA LA Life is wonderful: My blessings list

Fan Girl Going Crazy Right Now
Dear World, I started taking voice lessons to study musical theatre and my vehicle to this brave new world has been Sara Barielles’ musical Waitress. Well folks, she is now starring in the show on Broadway, and my whole life finally makes sense. I was born to go to...

Glitter Gold
I see you in every faint star Every grave yard Every moment that went wrong I hear you in the saddest songs I know In waves crashing cold as stone In a broken sea And when I dream of you I don’t want to wake up Because somewhere beneath the man that you’ve become Is...
