used to be if you were a tenor you had to perform run away with me (kerrigan/lowdermilk) before you got a cult following. now you just get to go right to orpheus or evan hansen. we used to be a proper country.
first you had to be in spring awakening in college or in a tour of newsies or book of mormon as a swing/ensemble track. then you had to do run away with me (kerrigan/lowdermilk) at a showcase or staging with a late-stage brendon urie frequency of vocal runs. then you were in an off-broadway show that bombed. then you were in a supporting role on broadway. THEN you got to be a leading man.
