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, now extended through March 4th!
Today we asked the ensemble: What's your favorite line in the show? Why?
Evan Eckstrom, Actor, Set Designer/Builder/Painter
At this moment I have to go with the Protagonist's line: "I'm gonna save you, Rhonda!"
Within the context of that song, it's just awesome to see their unwavering and singular motivation to keep pushing.
Morgan Miller, Actor
“Rhonda, get up in my Honda, Girl”
I mean, come on!
Tiffanie Boone, Actor
“Worm!”
You’ll have to see the show to find out.
Bill Chameides, Actor
"Your little mind is about to be blown."
Dwight Chiles, Actor
It's kinda long...
“I hope all my friends remember me
In the way that we used to be
We were careless and running free
But those were simpler times.”
This line just hits different. There is so much space in the lyrics during this song so when the lyrics are sung you have the time to think about those "simpler times".
Zach Knox, Playwright, Musician, Smooth Goose
“The engines sound like lightning”
Paula O’Brien, Actor
“For those of y’all sitting with your phone in your hand put that shit away, pull it out later, and post hashtag Happyland!”
I mean come on, it’s perfect!
Will Miller, Musician
"Where did these humans get a spaceship?"
Sharvis Smith, Actor
“Rhonda get up in my Honda!!”
Quinn Terry, Actor
Knife Guy's entire bit is absolutely phenomenal, so I have to include that! However, my favorite line is just: "fighting in a wormhole," because it's truly the most fun I've ever had performing a song.
Jamie Knox, Choreographer
“Why are you still holding that knife?”
Jason Phillips, Director
“I hope all my friends remember me
In the way that we used to be
We were careless and running free
But those were simpler times”
Romance! Heroism! Space battles! Knife guys! Fourth wall breaks!
Sounds like quite an adventure!
Get your tickets and “come to HappyLand—- Where everything’s oh, so nice!”
