Despite that I love musicals, I normally hate it when dramatic shows do an out-of-the-blue musical episode. Not the case with Strange New Worlds. The music was fantastic, and while I'm not usually surprised to learn that actors have more diverse performance arts backgrounds than are known to me, because many have trained with ambitions to hit Broadway before hitting it even bigger as TV or Movie stars, I had no idea there was so much singing talent on the cast. Ethan Peck has a sensational voice. I guess that shouldn't be surprising considering how deeply resonant his speaking voice is. So it made sense when I Googled him that I learned he studied at the Experimental Theatre Wing at Tisch. He probably has at least a dozen classmates who are currently starring on and off Broadway. I was more surprised to learn that he is Gregory Peck's grandson.
Nor was I surprised to learn that Celia Rose Gooding majored in musical theater at Pace.
The opening number was my favorite. Uhura's solo was second.
