Jesper: I feel like Jesper would be a die hard Shrek fan. Like he grew up watching the pro-shot and will shoot anyone on sight that says they don’t like it. He views himself as Donkey and Kaz as Shrek (even tho Kaz would rather die than be in a musical, let alone Shrek) He also looooooves the Cats Jellicle ball revival and has seen it at least 15 times

Wylan: Obviously his favorite musical is Hadestown. Hands down. He knows all the music by heart. I also feel like Wylan is just an encyclopedia of musicals and loves them all. I think he would also be a huge fan of Children of Eden and listen to lost in the wilderness 24/7. There’s also a part of me that believes he’s a huge classic Disney channel fan (which is one of the things him and Jesper bonded over) like he loves High School Musical and Descendants.

Matthias: he’s not very adventurous and I don’t think he’s looking for any niche musicals. I think he would LOOOVE the notebook. But he’s also got some of the classics on his playlist like Wicked, Oklahoma, and Fiddler on the roof (HEAVY on Fiddler) He also hates Hamilton and Lin Manuel Miranda all together. He finds Rap unnatural and very off putting.

Nina: I just KNOW my girl is jamming out to Heathers and Ride the Cyclone. I think she’s the type to put on a production of Heathers in her basement and then cast herself as all 3 Heathers. Her alarm to wake up in the morning is My Dead Gay Son. Now ik my girl is just dyingggg to play Jane Doe in Cyclone but she also can’t wait to be in Space Age Bachelor Man. She loves casting everyone in shows and I feel like she would randomly send messages on the gc of who people would be in a musical. Ex of a text she has sent:

Hello my beautiful children! Thank you all so very much for Auditioning for Ride the Cyclone! I pondered for many hours who would fit what role best and I think I have outdone myself! Without further ado, the cast list!

Jane Doe: yours truly

Ocean: Inej

Ricky: Wylan

Mischa: Nikolai

Noel: Jesper

Constance: Brekker

Karnak: Matthias

Inej: I think she would just adore Waitress. She loves the fact that the whole production team was all Women and I think there are parts of Jenna that she really relates to. I think she would also just really love Suffs and everything it stands for. She’s absolutely furious that it’s not still on Broadway. She even started a petition to keep it open when they announced they were closing. I also think Pippin is near and dear to her heart because the Circus spectacle of it really reminds her of her childhood.

Kaz: ok now Kaz is like really pretentious and claims he hates musicals but every so often he gets caught listening to Phantom of the Opera. I just KNOW he relates to the phantoms astronomical levels of yearning. He also has a love/hate relationship with Sweeney Todd. Like he loves how creepy and violent it is but also the character Sweeney pisses him off. He would think that Sweeney was unorganized and that his plan was always doomed to fail.
