Savel took a wobbly step back, pressing her eyes closed for a moment. All bubbling irritation at the stranger's impertinence vanished, replaced by shock and disbelief. He had seen her at the guildhall. He had seen what she'd done, what she could do. That explained his hasty retreat a minute ago...

"Sloppy." Gaveris sneered as he inspected Savel's work. "Disgraceful. Congratulations, foundling, you're no longer the ugliest thing in this workshop." For a moment, Savel thought he'd lost steam, that he might leave her to lick her wounds, if not in peace then at least in silence. But then he...

"Let them go," the man said, a snarl on his lip. Somehow, his menacing voice cut through the chaos of the crowd. Unlike the other guests, he did not balk at the cry of fire. Back to the exit, he inched toward Savel, blade raised as if to duel. Savel's traitorous body froze to the spot. She...

Savel Hanessett had been inside the guildhall only once before in her life: when she had accepted her apprenticeship thirteen years ago. The building hadn't changed much since then, but she certainly had. Gone was the awkward, reedy girl with wood shavings in her hair who could barely play a...

Moss' characters: Savel Hanessett, 26, is a willowy woman of unusual beauty. She has a moon pale face that is unlined, unpainted, and unsmiling, the left side of which is splashed across with a wine stain birthmark. Gloomy shadows pool beneath her narrow, watchful eyes. She keeps her hair...

@nohbdy Welcome! Wow, I wish my high school did Beauty and the Beast. What was your role? I like Little Shop too. The MJ Rodriguez and George Salazar performance of "Suddenly Seymour" is so good! (I did not see them live, just the video on YouTube.) Oh, Hadestown is on my list as well. "Wedding...

@AnnJam What up! Hamilton is awesome. Right there with you. I love that it mixes music genres you don't often hear in Broadway with a majority Black/POC cast you don't often see on Broadway to tell the story of a bunch of old white dudes. (I don't think there has been Native representation in...

@LuvDragon Here's hoping that when Broadway (and all stage productions) come back, they come back strong!

@LuvDragon Hi! Les Mis makes me cry too. So so much. Are you a fan of any newer musicals? Just curious, nothing wrong with the slightly older ones!

@Idea Valid perspective. It seems to me you remember the more dramatic and tragic songs best. I should clarify that I am only speaking for myself when I say boppy, upbeat songs are just as memorable. To me, they are, no question. But to others, I absolutely believe that may not be the case. For...

@Idea I'm familiar with the story, just not the musical, but thanks for offering to explain. Interesting thought on the memorability of songs in tragedies. I agree that they may have greater emotional impact, but I'd also say upbeat, boppy songs in less dramatic shows are just as memorable...

@Idea Hello! I know, picking a favorite musical is tough. There's almost always something great in every show, even if it's not the music. I'm not familiar with Jekyll and Hyde, but it sounds cool. I absolutely agree, using music and song is such an effective method of storytelling. And they're...
