I really like Go the Distance and I Won't Say I'm in Love. The Gospel Truth, Zero to Hero and A Star is Born sound like they were meant to be staged. The only song I don't like is One Last Hope. It just didn't seem to fit in the score for me.

Now Mulan, on the other hand.....that is a great score! Reflection is an odd ballad, but I just love it.

I love the Hercules score! And as far as mounting a production - I say, where there's a will there's a way. "I Won't Say I'm In Love" is one of my favorites! It's so much fun to sing!

Mulan does have some great stuff, too, although I can't watch Mulan without seeing Dr. Chen everytime she speaks a line. "Reflection" is a great number - and I really like "I'll Make a Man Out Of You!".

Disney is putting together a "Snow White" for the Fantasyland theatre in Disneyland. Supposedly put together with a lot of "Broadway" types on the creative staff. I think that should be interesting to see.

As a young girl watching all the Disney movies, I used to dream about playing these characters. Now that they are coming to the stage, it's my dream come true! I still love them! I mean, I grew up in the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast era - written by musical composers who knew how to write songs for a story. I love it!
