Phantom has a had a huge impact on my life, because it inspires me to reach for my goals and dreams. I always compare myself to Christine because that is how I picture myself in the future. Phantom was my second broadway show when I was 11 and it will always have a special place in my heart and will always be number one.

Wicked. It was my first Broadway show and it took my breath away. It really inspired me that I would like to be up on that stage someday. Wicked has a point that things aren't always as they seem and the show displayed that very nicely and I enjoyed all the special effects like the Dragon above the stage that would move and it's eyes would light up when the scene's mood would change or if the song was angry, etc. It was awesome and I won't ever forget sitting there, watching this incredible show that really made a difference to me.

Hedwig. It changed my perspective of what theater could be and really made me appreciate the off-broadway experience!

I'd say RENT had a huge impact on my life. I listened to it, and got obsessed with it. Then I decided if something like RENT could be like that, I'd like a lot more Broadway (I've always liked Broadway, but not to the point of obsession). RENT got me opened up to all kinds of Broadway.

But my first was Guys & Dolls when I was 2, because it was my first show. By the time I was 3, I knew all the words to all the songs. Also, JCS, because I've loved it since I was really little. I could sing the whole libretto by the time I was 5, and I even used all my dolls as the characters and choreographed it....

I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

beauty and the beast - i am belle, a misunderstood, brunette bookworm who dreams of true love and adventure - i had a really difficult time with that at one point in middle school and i always identified with her - the music/plot helped me through

A Chorus Line...

Sitting in the Shubert Theatre, listening to these actors and actresses stories moved me the way no other musical show ever did. Up until this time, I thought Broadway shows needed glitz and glamour, beautiful costumes and outrageous sets..all of which this show had none of. Yet this show stirred up emotions in me that I never thought a musical could do. I laughed and cried. It made me realize my true love and passion for musical theatre.

Well, first and foremost, Bye Bye Birdie changed my life because it was my first experience being in a musical, and it really opened me up to be more confident, and made me want to learn more about theater.

I haven't really seen a lot of shows, so I'm going to base this off the cast recording. The Last 5 Years really changed how I thought about musicals. I had basically only been exposed to older Broadway for most of my life, and the idea of a musical with only two people was completely new to me. The music was unlike any I had heard before, and the story and the songs were so moving.

HROK?

Man of La Mancha, without a doubt. The message is sublime when you think about it - seeing only the good in others, expecting the best and not letting lifes "bad curves" get you down...loving everyone equally and knowing that deep down inside each and every human being there is some good...I don't always live this way - but on a good day, I'm able to conjure up the vision of that "Impossible Dream"...and try til I'm blue in the face, to wage that battle against the bad, lift my head above the clouds, and aim for the unreachable star...where that little angel resides to guide me to a meaningful existence...

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
