## Trivia

* Other songs considered for the production were *Many a New Day* from ***OKLAHOMA***, *Reflection* from ***MULAN***, and *Neverland* from ***FINDING NEVERLAND***.
* The fake name that Morris comes up with for Max, "Mariah Zack Fenet", is an anagram for "Mackenzie Fanheart".
	+ Interestingly, the name Mariah was used for the protagonist of the author's first novella, ANGEL.

* The character Maria Mendez made an appearance in the author's previous novella, JOY, where she also performed on the hurdy gurdy. However, her appearance in ***Stalker Case*** (which takes place in New Jersey, USA) has yet to be explained.
* *I See the Light* was originally going to be performed by a character named Jenna, who was going to be introduced as Felix's younger twin sister (and would later be used by Darius to get into the school). However, the character was deleted entirely and replaced by Laura.
* Before *These Palace Walls* was performed by Scarlett, it was to be *Neverland* performed by a random girl (in a male-performed sequence).
* Greta was originally going to perform *Many a New Day* and would be accompanied by disembodied vocals while she pretended to interact with them. This was changed to her performing *Popular*, but the idea to interact with disembodied voices was used for *These Palace Walls,* where Scarlett does the same thing.
* Before *Colors of the Wind* was performed by Maria on hurdy gurdy, it was to be *Reflection* performed by a gender-fluid girl named Melanie Schultz (a violinist who would perform on violin at the Halloween Carnival).
	+ Despite the performance and character being changed, Melanie Schultz is scheduled to return as a supporting character in the prequel.

* The majority of performers in the production are women (Nate being the only boy). This is based on the author's experiences in talent shows in her hometown, where the majority of performers were girls.
