Oh that's so cool, my friends were just in Wizard of Oz a few months ago. They were poppies, snow, one was a lollipop guild member and the other was Nikko. I also knew the kid playing Tin Man. :)

1. What's the first musical you ever saw live?
Gosh, my parents took me to all sorts of shows/musicals as a little kid b/c I was so awed by them. I hardly remember any of them, but I want to say that one of the first was Seussical the musical?
2. Are you any shows right now? If so which one(s)?
Beauty and the Beast (I play Silly Girl #2), and I'm about to audition for Alice in Wonderland.
3. Do you dance?
I tried when I was a kid. When everyone went right, I went left. What? I like left!
4. What was the first show you were ever in?
The Tale of Three Trees the Musical with a small homeschool dance program. We said all the lines over the lines on the soundtrack, so I don't really count that one. I played the main girl tree. What was her name? Gabriella? Something like that. My first real, big show was The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (the musical), in which I played the very energetic and fun part of The Squirrel.
5. What's your go-to audition song(s)?
Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon and Beauty and the Beast from...well...Beauty and the Beast.

7. Which is your strongest/most-experienced suit: Acting,singing or dancing?
Acting by far.
8. What's your least-strongest/least-experienced suit: Acting, singing or dancing?
Ummm, singing or dancing...that's hard. I can pull both off with a lot of practice and I work well under stress, so I sometimes don't do a musical number right until opening night,
. I guess I'd have to say singing.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, actually. It wasn't the same production I was in a long time ago, but it sure did bring back some fun memories.
10. What are your current musical obessesions?
Hamilton and Anastasia.
11. Do you go to a performing arts school?
Like Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities? Or like a school that supports performing arts? I'm not a public or private school kid, but my homeschool academy offers Advanced Drama. I also attended the Governor's School program (but for creative writing) in the summer, and they offered a WONDERFUL drama program. I got to see part of Hamlet performed by some graduates with real swords. IT WAS AWESOME! PEOPLE DIED!
12. Are you in a chorus/ glee club?
Nope. I don't sing.
13. Are you a Soprano, Mezzo, Tenor, Alto, Baritone or Bass.. (etc.)?
Alto :) a very limited one.

Believe it or not, I've already been in Beauty and the Beast once this summer (playing Mrs. Potts, my first big role), and now I'm doing it again (playing a Silly Girl).
15. Did you enjoy this survey?
Very much!
