CM: I thought it would be a great way to meet new people and just an excellent experience in general.

GCP Girl: What has been your favorite part of this experience so far?
CM: Meeting so many great new people!

GCP Girl: If you could play any other character in the show, which one would you choose and why?

CM: The Emerald City; my favorite color is green.

GCP Girl: Why do you think "The Wizard of Oz" is such a popular story with both children and adults?
