Anonymous6. What do you think of movies adapted into musicals? (I AM REALLY STUPID. I READ THIS AS MUSICALS ADAPTED INTO MOVIES. SORRY!)
- I know a lot of people say that movie adaptations ruin the stage shows, but I think they are really great! What I do so I wouldn’t be disappointed is I take them as two different entities and I don’t compare, so I could enjoy both without being bias. It would never bring the same magic live theater could give, but it’s nice to see something you’ve been in love with in a different medium. It’s also great for people who cannot afford (for whatever reason- distance, time, money) to see these musicals live.
8. A musical that you’re dying to see.
- Right now, I really wanna see The Book of Mormon, Newsies, and Once. But there are just sooo many I’ve been dying to see.
14. If you landed a role on Broadway, would you stay in school or drop out?
- I’m almost graduating college, so dropping out wouldn’t be necessary… I guess? Oh wait, Karen dropped out on her last year in college to do RENT.. OH WAIT, why would I ever land a role on Broadway, in the first place? Hahahahha!
26. Have you met any Broadway stars?
- Just Lea Salonga and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Those are really embarrassing close encounters, though. Hahahaha errr.
30. Favorite movie star turned Broadway star.
- Daniel Radcakes.

Anonymous5. Broadway.com or Playbill.com?
-Um… Broadway.com, only because Playbill.com makes people click every single photo on their gallery. It’s a waste of time. Haha. My favorite Broadway website is BroadwayWorld.com though, because of totally bias reasons: 1. There’s a BroadwayWorld Philippines, 2. I was featured once, 3. I know people who contributes for the website. Haha!
13. Who should have played Marilyn - Ivy or Karen? (SMASH)
- Without being bias because she’s played by Megan Hilty, I’ve been on Team Ivy since the beginning. She just looked and sounded so perfect for the role, she probably knows about Marilyn and the material a whole lot more than Karen, and she has Broadway experience. But I thought Karen did pretty great on the opening.
15. What show do you believe was “robbed” from a Tony Award?
- Next To Normal
19. Favorite cast?
- The OBC of In The Heights, obviously. It’s just so wonderful how strong the relationship they’ve built is, and the way they support each other’s journeys after Heights and how they all remained close friends. Really one hell of a gorgeous, talented family.
23. Favorite reprise?
- Geez, favorite songs questions are always the hardest. Currently, I would say Falling Slowly (reprise). But of all time, probably I’ll Cover You (reprise). Always gives me chills and all the emotions in the universe.
29. First musical you saw.
- A junior production of Disney’s Cinderella, I think.

You all need to watch this amazing scene from Harry’s Law. Basically, the guy was prohibited by federal law from donating blood to his dying brother because he is gay and has had sex with another man before.
We can’t get married in most states, we don’t have the same adoption rights, we die for this country in our wars but had to endure “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” Where does it end? We get beat up and harassed, where does it all stop? And where are you? Where’s the court that’s supposed to stand up for the disenfranchised? Where are you?
You need to change that law. If a law is blatantly homophobic, if it puts a gay HIV-free man in a long-term monogamist relationship in the same high-risk category as a single straight guy who has unprotected sex with prostitutes and intervene as drug users, then you need to change that law.
#THIS IS IMPORTANT #I know it’s a show and therefore a fictional story #but it still applys to reality #and unfortunatly it’s a pretty universal law #a lot of countries have it #and it doesn’t make sense #it goes back to the 70’s and 80’s when we still thought hiv was the gay comunity’s fault #it makes no sense in our current society #and it needs to be changed #especially when you hear stories all the time about a shortagge of blood suplies
Bless your tags,butyoumight-dontpushit.
