Alright, let's get started.
Questions
What are three musicals that you really, really, REALLY like?
There are many. My favorites at the moment are Heathers, Hamilton, and Hadestown.
Note: I did not intend to pick three musicals that started with the letter ''H'', but it makes me ridiculously happy that it turned out that way.
Name three of your favorite songs from musicals?
Hmm. *bites lip*
''The Schuyler Sisters'' from Hamilton, ''Road to Hell'' from Hadestown, and ''Anybody Have A Map?'' from Dear Evan Hansen.
Who is your favorite actor or actress from a musical?
My favorite actor from a musical is Lin-Manuel Miranda, because he's so talented, and he just seems so nice.
My favorite actress from a musical is probably Barrett Wilbert Weed.
Do you have a favorite musical duet or two? Favorite version?
I really like both ''Seventeen'' from Heathers and ''More Is Better'' from Mean Girls. I like the original cast recording versions best, I think. Oh! And also ''Say My Name'' from Beetlejuice.
What are your favorite female solos?
SO. MANY. Too many. I love ballads and solos.
So, both ''Burn'' and ''Satisfied'' from Hamilton, ''Sexy'' from Mean Girls, ''Don't Lose Ur Head'' from Six and ''Dead Mom'' from Beetlejuice are some that I really like.
''Fight For Me'' from Heathers is possibly my all-time favorite, and I feel like it's really underrated, so that's obviously going to be on here.
What are your favorite male solos?
''Words Fail'' from Dear Evan Hansen, ''Guns and Ships'' from Hamilton [not totally a solo, but close enough], ''My Shot'' from Hamilton [also not a solo, but I didn't know where else to put it, but, eh, it's close enough], and ''Freeze Your Brain'' from Heathers.
''Words Fail'' from Dear Evan Hansen, ''Guns and Ships'' from Hamilton [not totally a solo, but close enough], ''My Shot'' from Hamilton [also not a solo, but I didn't know where else to put it, but, eh, it's close enough], and ''Freeze Your Brain'' from Heathers.
Favorite ensemble songs?
Mmmmm.....''Whose House Is This?'' from Mean Girls, ''Seventeen [Reprise]'' from Heathers, ''Ex-Wives'' from Six, ''Prologue'' from Into the Woods, ''What I Was Born to Do'' and ''Cross the Line'' from Bring It On'' and ''The World Will Know'' from Newsies.
What musical theatre songs [or entire soundtrack!] do you belt out around the house?
Literally every song previously mentioned. I also sing ''Watch What Happens'' from Newsies a lot, as well as ''Dead Girl Walking'' from Heathers [although I don't belt out that one. I hum it quietly, but I do it a lot, so I think it kind of counts], and ''I'd Rather Be Me'' from Mean Girls [so, basically, everything else I cut from my favorite female solos].
Which underrated musical would you like to tell us about?
Bring It On! It's a freakin' Lin-Manuel Miranda musical, the songs are all super catchy, the cast is great, and it actually shows cheerleading in a positive light. And....somehow it's not very well-known.
Why?

Thanks for the tag! All fantastic musicals and choices. You have impeccable taste!
ReplyDeleteNo problem! I can't wait to read your answers. Aw, thank you.
DeleteI can't believe I forgot about Hamilton, it's so good! Loved your choices, and thanks for the tag!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun when the first letters of your answers match or rhyme. I don't know why, but it is.
Yess, Hamilton is the best! Thank you! I can't wait to see your answers. Yeah, there's something oddly satisfying about it.
DeleteSo many good choices for the favorite songs! Especially "Anybody Have A Map?", "Satisfied", and "Burn"!
ReplyDeleteLin-Manuel Miranda is the BEST.
Thanks for the tag! I love musicals, so I'm excited for this one!
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHe really is.
No problem! Eek, I'm excited to read your answers!
Good choices. I really like the music from Beetle-Juice too. :D
ReplyDelete-Quinley
Thanks! There are some really great songs in that musical.
DeleteI knew that you'd have great answers! That's fun how your current favorites all start with an H! I've listened to half of Hadestown, but should listen to the rest some time. The music is really good! The Schuyler Sisters is one of my favorite Hamilton songs because my sisters and I basically are them, lol! Newsies and Dear Evan Hansen are always good choices.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks! It is.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you should listen to the rest. It's really good. Oh, that's cool. Would that make you Eliza? Just curious. Yes, those two are soooo good!
Yep, you guessed it! My older sister is EXACTLY like Angelica and I'm Eliza. It's a little insane how close we are. Though we don't see a lot of Peggy, I'm guessing that she is like my little sister.
DeleteOh, that's really cool. It's always neat finding characters who you relate to.
DeletePeggy doesn't play as big of a role as Angelica or Eliza, so it's a little harder to pin down her personality.
Great post and appreciate the video links!
ReplyDeleteThanks! No problem.
