When asked about the creative process for developing music to a musical, Michaelson expressed the unique situation she found herself. “It’s so different when you’re writing for a character,” she explained. “It’s been really different and really interesting for me to write from these perspectives and just the idea of this undying love and of loss and memory—I can’t stop writing them. I’m gonna have too many.”
