With my love and passion for musical theater, I would love to spend a day in New York City with Idina Menzel. We would first watch "Wicked" together, and with her connections, go backstage to meet the cast members, directors, see the costumes and makeup, and learn about the production of the show. Afterwards, we would head to a nearby coffee shop, where we would talk about our favorite musicals, our favorite musical songs, and what broadway shows we each wished we could have seen.

Write a haiku, limerick, or short (eight lines or less) poem that best represents you.
All these hopes and dreams
