Neverland Princess' Journey

So I am sitting here a little bored so I figured since I am slowly starting to fall back in love with musical theater again I am going to answer some questions about musicals. I will try to not answer every question with Hamilton so it may get tough but probably not haha 1. Favorite Number from one of your favorite musical’s of all time?     - Oh man here’s where I don’t actually answer with a Hamilton number because Hamilton is not my favorite musical of all time. The number would be ‘Edelweiss’ from Sound of Music. It is just a song that no matter what production I have seen it is a number that moves me to tears every time. It’s the point when Georg Von Trapp realizes what he has missed with his children. 2. Favorite Number from one of your favorite musical’s in the last three year?     - And here comes the first Hamilton answer. ‘Wait For It’ from Hamilton. Reason is because I relate A LOT to this song. I wait for my moments to be right where I want them to be. This song is literally me in a nutshell. 3. Favorite Number from one of your least favorite musical?     - I don’t have a least favorite musical. So I really don’t have an answer for this. 4. Name a number from the first musical you remember seeing.     - Wow this is tough. Because if we go based off movies it would Sound of Music, so I would say ‘My Favorite Things’. If we are going with actual stage it would be ‘Rose’s Turn’ from Gypsy. I saw Gypsy at a local theater in a town I live in. Changed my life and love for musicals.  5. Name a number from a musical you most recently saw.    - ‘Watch What Happens’ from Newsies. It was LITERALLY a dream come true for me to see Newsies. Sure it wasn’t Jeremy Jordan in the role of Jack Kelly but the production I saw was just as good. I love Newsies so much. 6. What is your Favorite Opening Number?     - ‘Hello’ from The Book of Mormon! I mean it literally is a song about all the Elder’s tracking doors preparing to travel to other countries and how it works. Oh man that opening number is never a bad choice. 7. What is your favorite duet?    - ‘Sunrise’ from In The Heights. I love Benny and Nina’s story in In The Heights. Her family disapproves of him because he is not Latino but he will do anything to win over her family so he lets her teach him all this words and phrases. Granted the whole song is not a duet but that opening moment with Benny and Nina is so special. Plus it opens up Act 2 =) 8. What is your favorite dance break?     - ‘Seize the Day’ from Newsies hands down! When they are dancing on those papers I just stop in awe. Like every move they make has to be so precise. I can envision it every time I hear it or even think about it. SO GOOD! 9. What is your favorite musical ballad?     - ‘A Little Fall of Rain’ from Les Miserables. It is so heart breaking yet so beautiful a the same time. Because Eponine loves Marius and Marius did love ‘Ponine even if it wasn’t the same way. And it just tugs at the heart strings of emotions that musical brings. 10. What is your favorite “11 O’clock” number?      - How very little I know about some of these terms. If I knew what that meant I would answer it. I’m gonna say ‘What’s New Buenos Ares’ from Evita and hope that it works as a correct answer. I love that song though 11. What is your favorite comic musical number?      - ‘Turn It Off’ from The Book of Mormon. Just listen to it. It’s just so funny! 12. What is your favorite ensemble musical number?      - ‘21 Guns’ from American Idiot The Musical. I think that song is amazing and when they all come together near the end it’s like twenty times more powerful 13. What is a number from your favorite guilty pleasure musical?      - ‘I Think I Got You Beat’ from Shrek The Musical. Who ever that Shrek would be good as a musical was a genius. It should not have been good but I love it so much =D 14. Name a number from a musical nominated for Best Musical Tony the year you were born.       - Well Meet Me In St Louis was nominated the year I was born in 1990 so I will say ‘The Trolley Song’ cause it is the only song I know from that musical. 15. What is one of your favorite female solo number?      - This is a toss up and they are both Hamilton numbers. The first one is ‘Burn’. That song is just so powerful and so wonderfully sung on the Cast Album by Phillipa Soo. I can never get enough of it and it just breaks my heart every time. The other one is technically a song that never made it to the final production of Hamilton and that is ‘Congratulations’. In a sense Angelica is giving the middle finger to Hamilton to what she did to her sister. Plus Renee Elise Goldsberry is fantastic and hearing her sing it at the last Ham4Ham Performance literally gave me goosebumps! 16. What is one of your favorite male solo numbers?       - ‘Santa Fe’ from Newsies. Jack Kelly is one of my favorite musical protagonists of all time. This song really gives you just how strongly Jack Kelly feels about what is going on. You get to see inside of a man who otherwise tries to act like a tough guy. That song literally gives me chills every time I hear it sung. 17. Name a number from a musical you think is underrated?      - ‘Telephone Wire’ from Fun Home. I don’t think Fun Home got a long enough run for home important of a musical it is. It is the first time in the history of Broadway that the lead protagonist as been as Lesbian. I literally cannot get enough of the Original Cast Album currently and that is my favorite song that I sometimes put it on repeat. 18. Name a number from a musical you think is overrated?      - Oh I am gonna get a lot of hate here I feel like. But remember this is more of an opinion. ‘Music of the Night’ from Phantom of the Opera. There I said it. I think Phantom of the Opera is overrated. I am not saying it’s not amazing cause it is. I just am not someone who would pick it out of a line of musicals to go see. Just my opinion, please don’t hate me. 19. Name your favorite love song from a musical?      - ‘Champagne’ from In The Heights. This is Vanessa telling Usnavi exactly how she feels. Many would say its not a love song but I think it is. Vanessa is literally begging Usnavi not to board a plane to the Dominican and stay. She says its for Sonny and the people that he would leave behind but the audience knows the truth Vanessa. 20. Name a song sung by your favorite antagonist in a musical?      - I am going to name a song I named earlier because to me it is this characters best number but ‘Wait For It’. Aaron Burr is the greatest musical antagonist in the last 10 years in my opinion. That number tells you everything you need to know about Aaron Burr. 21. Name a number from a show you have never seen live but wish to.      - ‘My Shot’ from Hamilton. Seriously this song pumps me up before work everyday! It is so full of energy and just gets you motivated. But now that I have seen Newsies, Hamilton has moved to the top of the list of musicals I want to see. I would have loved to have seen Lin-Manuel Miranda in the role but I also really want to see Javier Munoz in the role of Hamilton. Javier Munoz is the current Hamilton in NY and is a man that I admire. He lives his life truthfully and authentically as possible and it is amazing. 22. Name a number performed by one of your favorite female Broadway Stars.      - Brenadette Peters honestly rapping the Witch’s Rap in ‘Into The Woods’ from ‘Into The Woods’ is one of my favorite female performances. She is SOOOO talented.  23. Name a number performed by one of your favorite male Broadway Stars.      - ‘God, I Hate Shakespeare’ from Something Rotten! I love Brian D’Arcy James. He is amazingly talented and impresses me with every production he has ever done. I would have loved to have heard his version the the King George songs from Hamilton since he was King George the Third the First. 24. Name a number from your favorite composer      - ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ from Evita. Lord Andrew Lloyd Weber is the great musical composer of all time and I will shout it from the roof top if need be. 25. Name a number for your favorite choreographer.      - ‘The Room Where It Happens’ from Hamilton. Seriously, Andy Blankenbuehler is a genius and I have loved him since I first saw him years ago on So You Think You Can Dance. The Room Where It Happens is proof to me that he the greatest choreographer of all time. 26. A Number your would like to perform if you were the opposite sex?      - ‘Hurricane’ from Hamilton. That song to me is the best number in Hamilton. You really understand why Hamilton has done everything he has done to get to where he is. “I wrote my way out of hell. I wrote my way to revolution. I was louder than the crack in the bell. I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell. I wrote about the constitution and defended it well. And in the face of ignorance and resistance I wrote financial systems into existence. And when my prayers to God were met with indifference I picked up pen I wrote my own deliverance.” The words as so powerful and so strong. 27. What is a number from a musical you have performed?     - ‘Something Just Broke’ from Assassins. This musical changed by life. This musical started my love for history and wanting to know things about America’s past. This song is a beautiful song about how people felt after the shooting of John F Kennedy.  28. What is a number from a musical you would like to perform?     - Alright this is a tough one but it comes down to the love I have for this show. ‘Helpless’ from Hamilton. I just love this show. Honestly I would just perform ensemble pieces and be happy but if I could be Eliza that would be okay to.
