For each production at TMT, we like to ask our cast and crew members a few questions, so we and you can get to know them better! Some questions are standard. Some are specific to the show these folks are working on. Some are biographical, some are philosophical, and some are completely off the wall! But all of these questions provide a little insight into the wonderful artists that make up our Magnetic community.
See what these colorful creatives have to say, then grab your tickets and come see them in HappyLand, just extended through March 4th!
This time, we asked: What's your favorite stage (or film) musical, or rock opera, or concept album?
Gina McDaniel, Actor
I love the band Lord Huron because each of their albums tell a story, but in a way that leaves more room for interpretation than a traditional concept album does. My favorite of their albums is Strange Trails.
Morgan Miller, Actor
Waitress The Musical.
Evan Eckstrom, Actor
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Let your freak flag fly, friends!
Elise Harvey, Actor
Chicago! All the way! The cell block tango is my jam.
Will Miller, Musician, Smooth Goose
Book of Mormon.
Jason Phillips, Director
That is a tough one, but I’ll go with Sweeney Todd. It is dark and horrific, but has fun doing it. Plus I love Sondheim’s wordplay.
Quinn Terry, Actor
This changes pretty much every week. Right now, I'm really enjoying the concept album for the Troy Saga of Epic: The Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. It's a project to turn the Odyssey into a musical and his songs are so compelling. I can't wait for the whole project to be complete.
Dwight Chiles, Actor
I mean. It’s gotta be RENT right? That was the ONE! I was OBSESSED!!!
Paula O’Brien, Actor
Jesus Christ Superstar.
Zach Knox, Playwright, Musician, Sneaky Goose
The Point by Harry Nilsson.
What a great variety of styles and themes in these selections! One thing’s for sure, these folks know good music.
Come check ‘em out on stage in HappyLand and see what they each bring, with their unique passions and interests!
