Hi everyone!
I was just cast in a part in a show at university which is a great role but also a slight let down (let's not get into it) so am trying to think of songs that kinda sum up this feeling. Y'know, pleased you got a part, but not the one you wanted...
I can only think of 'The Alto's Lament' but I know there must be more - I'm not good at these song suggestion things.
I was also thinking of songs about this in the wider sense, maybe not about parts in shows but just 'making do' or 'seeing the silver lining' in general.

Doesn't that old British woman in WICKED say something to Idina about "making do"?

I'm worried that I sound like a bit of a prima donna...I'm not.

"What a Drag" from Princess. Possibly the only song I didn't mind from what I have heard from the score.
