Shine!

Shine! is a musical based on characters and situations found in the works of Horatio Alger, particularly Ragged Dick and Silas Snobden's Office Boy, respectively Alger's first best-seller and the one first printed in book form eighty years after it was first serialized in Argosy. Its plot and characters focus on Alger's pervasive theme: that in America one could begin with nothing, and with the right attitude, hard work, application, and a little bit of luck, dream a dream and chart a course on which to achieve it. Richard Seff wrote the book, Lee Goldsmith the lyrics and Roger Anderson the music. Anderson and Goldsmith had previously collaborated on the musical Chaplin.

Shine! was announced for Broadway in 1982, but production was canceled when producer 20th Century Fox disbanded its newly formed theatre division. The show was later produced in 1983 at the Virginia Museum Theatre in Richmond, Virginia, starring George Lee Andrews, Alix Korey and Todd Taylor. A reading of a revised version was seen in 1998 at Off Broadway's York Theatre Company. In 2001, Shine! was part of the National Musical Theatre Network showcase. That performance was recorded and released by Original Cast Records in October 2001. The recording featured performers including Carole Shelley, Harvey Evans, Brooks Ashmanskas and Andrea Burns. The show was published by Samuel French Inc. in 2002.

  • Shine (Years & Years song)

    "Shine" is a song by British electronica trio Years & Years for their debut studio album, Communion (2015). It was released on 5 July 2015 by Polydor Records as the album's fifth single and is the third track on the album. "Shine" peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart.

    Background

    The song premiered on 11 May 2015 as Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World, and is their follow-up to "King" from the album Communion. Vocalist Olly Alexander explained that the song uses light as a metaphor to pertain to the "overwhelming and unstable feeling of falling in love". The track was written for his new boyfriend and marked a change in style. "I know he would’ve said he liked it, but it really mattered to me whether he truly liked it or not. But he did, and I was so relieved".

  • Shine (project)

    Shine was a Bubblegum Dance project formed in Sweden in the early 2000s by Zix Productions under the former label Stockhouse. The project was built around the main vocalist Carola Bernhav. During their time active, Shine released two singles in Japan and some songs on compilational sets. Shine is perhaps best known for her song "Loverboy".

    Despite no official disbanding ever announced, the project has since been considered abandoned since 2001.

    Brief Background

    The project Shine was created in 2000 as a Traditional Bubblegum Dance project by Zix producers Guran Florén and Teddy Gustavsson, who are also members of the Bubblegum project Yummie from Sweden, best known as Maestro X and Zed. The project was built around Carola Bernhav, who was 18 years old at the time. From the very beginning, the project was aimed to be marketed as a project in the same vein as popular Bubblegum artists Aqua, Toy-Box, or even Miss Papaya. A lot of people who have heard Shine's music have agreed that Carola's vocals were very similar to Lene Nystrom-Rasted's from Aqua.

    Shine

    by: Kwan

    I can feel what you have inside
    But you lie to yourself
    Look in to my eyes
    'cause you have it all
    You know it too
    So why don't you do something about baby don't deny
    Would you even try
    Break the wall to face it all
    What can I do for you to believe me?
    ...for you to believe me?
    I can see the shine
    I can see the shine in you
    I can see it in your eyes
    So why don't you do something
    I can see the shine
    I can see the shine in you
    I can see it in your eyes
    So why don't you do something.
    You won't lose it baby don't be afraid
    There will be a day when it's too late
    You say that you don't believe in love
    Love is already in you
    Don't wait too long there will be no sign
    'cause deep inside of your mind you want to
    Am I wrong, I don't think
    So tell me what can I do for you to believe me
    What does your heart say
    What do you fear
    Why do you always push it away?
    Why these unnecessary tears?
    I can see the shine but you're only wasting time
    Putting yourself always in question
    Denying leberation of your mind
    You kinda know you have talent
    You kinda know how to exploit it
    But you do nothing
    Do yourself a favor don't avoid it
    Do something do something
    About it do something
