I had WAY too many ideas, so here are a few that I wanted to incorporate but didn't happen. 

Other potential casting choices:
▪️Sierra Boggess (40) (Ariel: Little Mermaid, Christine Daaé: Phantom)
▪️Cynthia Erivo (35) (The Color Purple: OG Celie)
▪️Laura Dreyfuss (Dear Evan Hansen: OG Zoe Murphy) (33)
▪️Anna Kendrick (46) MOVIES/TV (back up-backup)
▪️Rachelle Ann Go (Gigi: Miss Saigon 25th anniversary; mostly West End) (35)
▪️Laura Bell Bundy (41)(Legally Blonde: OG Elle; Hairspray: OG Amber von Tussle)
▪️Karen Olivo (45) (In The Heights: OG Vanessa; current Satine:Moulin Rouge)
▪️Amber Gray (41) (Hélène in Natasha, Pierre....; currently Persephone in Hadestown)
▪️Jessie Mueller (39) (Waitress: OG Jenna)

Variations on How They Met:
▪️USO tour (pitch perfect 3)
▪️She has a Navy fam member and they have a meet-cute while she is visiting
     ▪️maybe niece of Iceman
     ▪️someone completely unrelated to Top Gun
     ▪️Knew each other as kids, meet later by chance when he is on leave

Variations on how they Got Together (pretty much just combo'd all these ideas)
▪️Casual flirts when first meet
▪️Keep in contact after leaving (she goes home/he leaves for deployment/mission)
▪️She has a show (broadway) and he surprises her by going
     ▪️First major lead role
     ▪️Broadway return
     ▪️Just a random show and surprise
     ▪️Keep it as lowkey as they can (she's a celebrity and he handles classified missions on occasion)

Random thoughts throughout this book

Thought of too late, Cecelia could have been SHARPAY!!!!!!
▪️Also didn't want her to be main stream celeb, like Ashley Tisdale was (and is)

Gets a call from Kenny asking for help with choreo for a New project (made up)
▪️Involves Cat and and Bros after asking if she can
▪️Big one they work on is a beach dance (perfect location)
▪️Everyone gets to see the creative process

Worked on Zombies movies
▪️Tik toks to a song and posts in support for movie (Exceptional Zed/Alien Invasion)

Christy Altomare is appearing in Disney Princess - The Concert September-December 2022 (incorporate somehow) [never got to it]

That vine/tiktok of the "God mixed hot and cute together and he's just perfect"

Another potential name for Ronen was:
Apollo:
Origin: Greek
Meaning: destroyer

I also had ideas of incorporating more songs into this, since all my OCs are INCREDIBLY talented singers, bu5 it never happened. Here are a few i had played around with.

▪️To Love You More, Lea Michelle (Glee) version: Cecelia

▪️You Have More Friends Than You Know (Glee) (Marcellini siblings plus Cat)

▪️Counting Stars: Christina Grimmie and Sam Behymer (The Voice) : Cecelia and Cat
