Introduction
Music can be a powerful part of our lives; this might be why musical theatre is such a popular genre of the performing arts. Sometimes a song can capture the depth and significance of a moment in ways that dialogue alone sometimes misses.
Prompt
Think back over your life and pick a significant moment or experience: when you met your significant other; graduating from high school; losing a loved one; the first time you visited your favorite place. How you define “significant” is up to you. Now imagine recreating that moment as a musical number onstage. What song, or type of song, would capture that moment? Why did you make that choice? What would it be like onstage? A big, elaborate ensemble number with bright costumes and flashy visual effects? A soft, slow ballad between two stars? A stirring, powerful solo? Give an description of that scene from a musical.
