Yo BroadwayBox, I'm George Salazar,
currently in Be More Chill, and I've brought along
my Be More Chill costar Lauren Marcus
and the writer of Be More Chill Joe Iconis to help me out
in singing some of my Broadway Bucket List songs.
The first song is "Suddenly, Seymour"
from Little Shop of Horrors.
Little Shop of Horrors was the first musical I ever did
and I played Seymour Krelborn, but I've never gotten
to do it professionally as an adult male
and so I would love so much to get to do that part,
but specifically I wanna do it with Lauren Marcus,
and so we're gonna get to do a little snippet
of "Suddenly, Seymour" for you guys today.
Hey.
Oh a costume. Yes.

Sunday in the Park with George
is one of my all-time favorite musicals,
and it is also a musical that I have done
but in college when I was too young
to have any business playing George.
It's such a dream of mine to get to play George
in Sunday in the Park with George
as an adult male, and of course,
it would be in my contract that I would have to do it
opposite Lauren Marcus.
(scoffs) Okay.

My final Broadway Bucket List song
is from this musical that has not had its premiere yet,
it is a musical called The Untitled,
Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical.
It is written by Joe Iconis, and the character
is Oscar Zeta Acosta,
who was Hunter S. Thompson's best friend,
and this is a dream role of mine
that hopefully will get to do very, very soon.
Playing opposite me as Hunter Thompson is Lauren Marcus.
