Character: Murphy Bean /Thorkle the traveler

If you could give yourself any Viking name it would be?: Danforth the Coffee Grinder (I work in a coffee shop…)

Favorite past show/performance: The Drowsy Chaperone

Pre-show ritual or warm-up: Stretch, then run a dance from whatever show I am in.

Top Three favorite Musicals and/or Plays: Once On This Island (this show needs to be produced here in Fresno!), Sweeney Todd, and You Can’t Take It With You

Favorite Song from “Yo, Vikings!”: Either “World Discovery Day” or the title song “Yo, Vikings!” “World Discovery Day” has a beautiful and quite catchy melody while “Yo, Vikings!” has the complex choral arrangement and difficult harmony which makes it amazing!

If you could dress up as anything to work or school it would be?: Link (from The Legend of Zelda) or Nearly Headless Nick

What is your favorite aspect of being a part of this show?: The fact that this is a new musical that very few people know is the most exciting aspect of the show. The music is truly phenomenal, which is another reason why I love this musical!
