1) Forever Known. Final night this was a primal scream, barely singing 😂😭 the Hit Single, so to speak. No one except me, maybe, will ever understand why that’s so important or why its placement in the show is so significant.

2) Finding a moment in Abbreviated to show off Alex, our tireless, cheerful, fierce as fuck MD (and the key change! The emotional high point of the show fr fr)

3) Among the Heather. One of the most beautiful things I’ll ever write, and my biggest (?) challenge on keys, a song I had to fucking drill, largely bc of its 700,000 key changes 🙃

4) Villain/Victim. The OTHER song I needed to drill. One of my most poetic and deep lyrics, Eddy smashed his insanely hard counterpoint, I still don’t know how I wrote/learned/performed this. Why did I write this in 7/4? YOU TELL ME (grief. is always the answer.)

5) Eddy turning Ain’t Got the Time into a 7-minute jam every night. Blossoming into a natural comedian before our eyes. Flirting with the audience, Mambo No 5 references?! shouting out the entire crew 🥹 and then bringing the house down every single night with the actual song.
