Five Good/Positive Things That Happened To You In 2018

  1. I got all A’s and one B this semester at college, so that’s pretty good, especially because of how worried I was for my online courses
  2. I played my first dnd session with some of my friends and it was so much fun and I can’t wait to have another session once our schedules will allow it
  3. I was able to convince my parents to take me to see Bandstand in theaters, and it totally took over my life. In addition, I also watched the Newsies pro-shot for the first time, got to see the touring companies of Hamilton and Les Mis (also watched a Wicked bootleg with my little sister and by the end we were both crying) so it was a pretty good year for me theatre-wise
  4. Deltarune came out and I really enjoyed it, and then my youngest sister got Undertale on the switch for her birthday, and watching my little sisters explore both these games was amazing (and very funny, when we tried our best to do voices)
  5. Speaking of video games, we had preordered Super Smash Bros Ultimate and my brother and I have been playing basically nonstop since, which has been really fun, despite the fact that he came out of the womb with a GameCube controller in his hand, and I have the hand-eye coordination of a newborn deer (meaning, I’ve only beaten him a handful of times)

If/Then: What was your gateway musical? 

I was introduced to Disney very early, so I think it would technically be Beauty and the Beast

Oh my goodness, I wouldn’t even know where to begin! Give Audra McDonald a role in whatever it is though, because I love her and would die for her

Bold of you to assume I’ve ever gotten over a character death, but some very notable ones are Eponine and Gavroche in Les Mis
