Description

Season Three we're talking about soliloquy! We've covered how Shakespeare has used soliloquy, but we can learn so much more from how musical theatre employs soliloquy. From Howard Ashman's iconic "I want" song, such as in The Little Mermaid, to the much-anticipated "double soliloquy" such as the final number of The Last Five Years, we've got some fun ideas for you writers out there.
