“Rousseau says: If a man can be corrupted by an artificial civilization, what is the natural state? The state of nature from which has been removed? Imagine wondering up and down the forest without industry, without speech and without home.” -Marie Antoinette [2006]

Jack Hamilton: I was looking into all the actresses who have played this part and I came across a really interesting quote from Patti Lupone…she said “that every line [in the song] is a different mountain that needed to be climbed, some of those mountains were higher than others and while I enjoyed climbing some, I hated others. But if you’re not exhausted when you’re done singing this song then you haven’t climbed high enough”… but if that’s true, if every line is a mountain to be climbed, metaphorically, what was the hardest mountain to climb? What was the hardest line to get through?
