Great idea to match up songs to characters and all from the same musical. Fantastic. Perfect matches. I guess Zoey could get 'Sixteen going on seventeen'. :-)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That was my prompt and I love what you did with it. The songs did fit perfectly, especially Sam. Great story : )

I'm really glad you liked it! That gives me warm fuzzies. And thank you for the prompt! It was really fun to play with. I had to play around with how I wanted the songs to match up, and then I had to remember that the gang wouldn't have the amazing SOM knowledge that I do (lol), which is why I went with "that song that she sings here..." and "you know, that song..." I hope it worked.

I knew there was someone out there who loved the Sound of Music as much as me.....so glad you picked the prompt and wrote the story.

LOVE, LOVE that icon!!!!

Awesome! I loved the poker moments in the show, you fic captures the senior staff brilliantly. Toby knowing all the musicals was lol!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, Toby acts like an arts hater at times, but he's the defender of the NEA on the show, so I figured he would know those musicals even if he didn't want to admit it at first. Plus, the man just seems to know everything.

I agree, his sentimentality as shown by his love of all things Julia Chil makes it plausible that he would know all the musicals.. I like that side of him.
Great icon btw!
