Ooh, that's hard.
Uhm... when I was like 4, I went to see Singing in the Rain and my mom says that for weeks after that I was just going around like, "I'm SINgiNg iN tHE RaiN..... I'M sInGInG IN ThE RAiN....... SINGING IN THE RAIN..... SINGING IN THE RAIN.....SINGING IN THE RAIN.... SiNGinG iN ThE RAIn!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then in third grade, I auditioned for my first musical, Wizard of Oz, and I was a Munchkin in the Lullabye League, and it was the greatest thing I had ever done and when it was over, the night it closed, I lay awake in bed sobbing for like hours just muttering to myself "i'm never gonna forget this. never ever ever. i don't want it to end. i'm gonna miss them so much."
And from then on, I was obsessed.
What do you think happens in the US?
