Some of y'all being singin' "For Forever" like the lyrics be "I see wrinkle lines, for forever," and Mary and Steven get into it and so much more, covering the missed, forgotten, and incorrect whoopsie daisies. We were just lying on the ground waiting to see if anyone would say something. Happy Listening!

Dear FTT Fam,
Today is gonna be a good day. Do you know why?! Mary and Steven are back to kick off season three of From The Top! covering Dear Evan Hansen.
The struggle is real on if intentions justify means when good comes from being deplorable, if parents are insane or just clueless, and who's to blame in this rollercoaster of a show that hit the scene in 2016. Elevate that casted arm, wave through that window, or create a brand new nonprofit orchard while you enjoy From The Top!'s Season 3 kick-off on a season about Outcasts.

Hello FTT Fam!
It's been a minute since we've been able to connect, but never fear! We are still around, and still stirring up some wonderful things for our third season of From the Top! Unfortunately, as we know, life can sometimes be nothing but chaos, and FTT host Steven has needed to take some much needed R&R after being in two shows back to back.
But never fear! We still have some **amazing** content to keep you company while you wait. Make sure to check out our other episodes about black and white stripped suited demons, or plants from another world that crave human blood. Or, check out the FTT hosts cameo on Life's But A Song pod wherever you can get your podcasts.
We promise we'll be back soon. Thank you for your patience - we love you guys!

From The Top! keeps Defying Gravity in Show Notes for Wicked, and in typical fashion, there's a perfect balance of dancing through life and a bit of loathing.
Notes From A Director - Steven was not that girl who didn't get a note, but unlike spells in this show, fixes them quickly.
Actor's Nightmare - It's not easy being green, or any color as Mary and Steven discuss politics around the land, how bad optics can affect perception, and other topics in a place scarier than the witch's castle.
Quick Cast - Hollywood having done the lifting already, Steven and Mary discuss the upcoming Wicked film casting choices, and offer some substitutions that might have you riffing like Ariana Grande and saying "Mamma Mia!"
What If? - What if Glinda had followed Elphaba that day in the Emerald City?Wicked Cast Album - 2003
