Yes, I agree, Rogers and Hammerstein were brilliant! I think it must be a very satisfying feeling to have created pieces that bring joy to so many people.
I saw part of "Into The Woods" on TV. I think I prefer musicals that have more of a serious side to them, and I recall that's a goofy musical, isn't it?

I've never even heard of "Tick, Tick...Boom" or "A little Night Music," or "Bat Boy: The Musical!" Bat Boy! Is that like a young Bat Man?
How lovely that you could be in so many musicals, Phanastasio. I remember seeing the stage with the piano in your hometown and now wonder if that's where you've performed. I have only been in a musical reading in which I got to sing the songs but just read the lines...and it was loads of fun...so I imagine doing a real musical would be even better.
Rizzo must have been a fun character to play. In honor of you and Rizzo, whose strong-but-fragile-underneath character was one of my favorites because she had the most depth, here she is singing a song I like very much from that musical. I love how she goes from self-questioning to confident self-respect!
