without showing and telling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel like that&#8217;s been a big inspiration on that front musically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just love musical theater &#8211; period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, rather than drawing inspiration from any one particular musical theater creator, part of it is getting to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis song has a kind of Robert and Kristen Lopez feel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if this song has kind of a Stephen Sondheim feel, and this song has kind of an Andrew Lloyd Webber feel?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s getting to pull from all the influence buckets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the things I love so much about making music for the Hellaverse is that no two songs are ever that much alike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We get to pull from so many different influences rather than just saying this whole show is influenced by this particular person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gamers Heroes&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I know it\u2019s like picking a favorite child &#8211;
