Joy sings about her exciting experience as a college freshman in the musical’s opening number, FRESHMAN FALL.
After Joy breaks the news that she doesn’t want to be a doctor anymore, her disappointed parents sing about a concept called UTANG NA LOOB, or “debt of the heart.”
After Joy wishes on a shooting star for supportive white parents, she wakes up to find that it has come true, and her new adoptive white parents explain how their family works in this song called WE HUG IN THIS FAMILY.
