1. What's the first musical you ever saw live? 

I was blessed enough to see Mary Poppins touring in Denver. It was so magical. 

2. Are you any shows right now? If so which one(s)?

I'm going to be auditioning for Mary Poppins Jr. and I'm in a theatre program which is performing a cabaret of songs from musicals. 

3. Do you dance?

I do! I do theatre dance, and I used to do Irish Step Dance. I hope to take tap next year. 

4. What was the first show you were ever in?

I was in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat as an ensemble singer. 

5. What's your go-to audition song(s)?

I haven't actually done this one, but Waving through a Window from DEH.  

6. Any dream roles?

I would love to be Race in Newsies, Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton, Zoe Murphy from DEH, Evan Hansen from DEH (Genderbent musicals PLEASE, Broadway?) Amalia in She Loves Me (XD, that's never gonna happen #VocalRangeProblems), and Graffiti Pete in In the Heights. 

7. Which is your strongest/most-experienced suit: Acting, singing or dancing?

I think I'm the best at acting and dancing. 

8. What's your least-strongest/least-experienced suit: Acting, singing or dancing?

I'm not trained in voice (working on it, though!) so I'm not as strong here as in the others. I just have issues with breathing. 

9. What was the most recent show you saw live?

I saw Toursies (Newsies on Tour) almost two years ago. It's been a while, I know!

10. What are your current musical obsessions?

Whew. I just got into DEH, and I LOVE She Loves Me. Newsies is always my favorite, and I will never get tired of Hamilton. Bandstand and Bonnie & Clyde are AMAZING (#LauraOsnesAndJackKellys), and In the Heights has always been one of my favorites. 

11. Do you go to a performing arts school?

Ha! I wish. That would be amazing. 

12. Are you in a chorus/ glee club?

Again! I wish. I don't even know if we have that kind of thing at my high school. We live in the Colorado mountains and kind of focus on sports here. 

13. Are you a Soprano, Mezzo, Tenor, Alto, Baritone or Bass.. (etc.)? 

I believe that I'm either a Mezzo or a Tenor because I can hit high notes, but I feel more comfortable singing guys' parts. 

14. What show were you most recently in?

I was in The Lion King Jr, which was super fun. 

15. Did you enjoy this survey?

Of course! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
