Pick 5 musicals that you love before reading the questions:

1) Phantom

2) Hamilton

3) Les Mis

4) Heathers

5) Wicked

What was the first song you heard from #1?

Probably the title song when I was a child. I feel like I always knew the overture and stuff, but if we’re saying properly then ‘think of me’ because it’s first in the movie, lmao.

What is your favourite song from #4?

oooh, um....’dead girl walking’ is just so funny and unique but also ‘candy store’ is the best to have fun with.

What kind of impact has #1 had on your life?

yo, this literally changed my life last year. I got into musical theatre because of this (and Wicked) and I’ll be forever grateful to it for introducing me to so much laughter, tears and CREATIVITY because I’ve been so inspired by the range of shows out there. 

What are your favourite lyrics from #5?

‘was i really seeking good or just seeking attention/is that all good deeds are when looked at with an ice cold eye’ and also ‘i’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game’

How many times have you seen #3 live?

never *cries* but i did see some west end people perform ‘one day more’ and my cousin was part of a beautiful orchestra which performed some. 

What is your favourite song from #2?

that’s impossible to choose omg, maybe ‘wait for it’ and ‘who lives who dies who tells your story’ and we can’t forget about ‘right hand man’ or ‘my shot’.

Is there any song from #3 that makes you sad?

.....literally the entire show. The song that makes me the MOST sad is either ‘empty chairs at empty tables’ or the reprise of ‘do you hear the people sing’ at the end. 

What is your favourite song from #1?

that’s ALL I ASKKKKK OF YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. (and wishing you were somehow here again/music of the night/point of no return/angel of music/masquerade)

When did you first get into #2?

so hamilton took over the internet last year and i was like ‘holy shit this looks cool’ and it really was.

What is your favourite song from #5?

hmm, i don’t want to be cliché and say ‘defying gravity’ but that is my go-to shower belting song. I also love ‘no good deed’ and ‘as long as you’re mine’. 

How many times have you seen #4 live?

none and i never will cause they’re dumb and took it off stage :((((

What is a good memory concerning #5?

IT GOT ME INTO MUSICAL THEATRE. SO COOL. Also I really felt like a protagonist knew what it felt like to be disabled and looked at because they were different and that made me happy to feel a connection i guess.

I like the red ones!
