What’s your favorite song from play 2 (Company): DON’T DO THIS TO ME. I’M DOING TOP FIVE!! Company, Another Hundred People, Getting Married Today, Being Alive, and Ladies Who Lunch. There.
Who is your favorite character from play 4 (Wicked): Elphie? :/
What’s your favorite scene from play 5 (Next to Normal): Too many. Top five again. Just Another Day scene, How Could I Ever Forget? scene, There’s a World scene, Make Up Your Mind/Catch Me I’m Falling scene, and Light scene. :3
What’s your favorite lyric from play 8 (Book of Mormon): Umm.. the whole show? I have a lot… Imagine that your mind is made of tiny boxes, then find the box that’s gay and CRUSH IT, okay?! Maybe it’s just Rory O’Malley’s delivery, but that lyrics gets me all the time.
From play 10 which character are you most like (Sound of Music): Maria. I’m pretty good with kids. I like music. That’s about it.
Can you quote every line from play 1 (Funny Girl)? Guilty. I have seen this movie 5032750150475 times. No joke. I can’t watch this movie with my friends anymore. It really annoys them.
How many times have you seen play 3 (Honk!)? ONCE! With a professional touring company. Okay, I’ve seen some pretty emotional shows live (movies-musicals are a whole different thing) and I’ve chocked up on a couple things before. But, I bawled hysterically in this show. My friends laughed at me.. but you know.. it’s cool. It’s such a good show.
If you could be anyone from play 6, who would it be, why (West Side Story)? This show + this question = confused Maya. For all my life (I’ve been watching this movie awhile), I knew Anita was the role. She had my range. But, lately, I’m starting to get this soprano range. And I’m like “woah!? where did this come from?!?!” So… ummm… Maria. Next question please.
What’s your favorite song from play 7 (Gypsy)? Rose’s Turn. I also like Everything’s Coming up Roses.. but Rose’s Turn is the ultimate.
What’s your favorite quote from play 9 (Wizard of Oz)? “A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others.” – The Wizard.. deep stuff.
Who’s the best Broadway actor? Right now? Andrew Rannells.
Who’s the best Broadway actress? Su Fo.
What’s the best musical they turned into a movie? Phantom. Haha, no. Kidding. Oldie is West Side Story. Newbie is Chicago.
