hahah this is so great!

to those few that answered my “lets talk musicals”..

thank you so much!

I don’t get anything in my ask box that often and it makes me really excited when I do, I know I sound like a dork right now but I really do love talking to you all and hearing your opinions about anything! 

stay golden :]

astridunor asked: Because I couldn't write it all in one, I'll continue. What's your favourite musical, and dream roles? Also, I am, just for fun, writing a musical. It will probably never be on stage, seeing as I'm a 15 year old Norwegian girl. But it's fun to write. :) It's about a lonely, single woman who writes sappy, cliché-filled stories and lives her life through them. So it's got sort of parallel storylines, the cliché love story and the authors sad life and her conversations with her inner voice.

ah i don’t know if I can just pick one! but my top few are probably How to Succeed.., Spring Awakening, Wicked, Les Mis and Mary Poppins my dream roles are:

Belle- Beauty in the Beast

Eponine- Les Mis

Natalie- Next to Normal

Wendla- Spring Awakening

Elle- Legally Blonde

Elephaba- Wicked

and Rosemary- How to Succeed

that’s so cool that you’re writing a musical! it sounds like a great one, and you never know it could one day get published :]

astridunor asked: A day to late, but let's talk about musicals! My dream roles are Joanne(Rent), Betty Rizzo(Grease), Scar(Lion King, and yes, I know it is a make role, but with a lion costume and lion make-up, I don't think people would see the difference. Besides, I've always thought he seems kinda feminine. ). And I'd love to play in the Cats, no matter what role. I'd love to play in a lot more musicals, and there's many other roles I want to do, but these are my dream roles. My favourite musical is Rent. :)

nice! The Lion King was the very first saw I saw live, I was nine years old :]
