Performed by Christine Dwyer (Wicked– Elphaba, Waitress- Jenna), "A Love Song" is sung by the character Sophie Scholl, who insists that she does not need to be in love to show that she understands love.

Performed by Matt DeAngelis (Hair, Waitress) "To Always Ask Why" is sung by the character Christel Probst, a member of the White Rose resistance group and an army medic.

His anger and frustration is not simply focused upon Hitler and the Nazis, but his fellow Germans who have allowed this to happen.

Performed by Emily Borromeo (School of Rock, Broadway Bounty Hunter), "Munich" is sung by the character Sophie Scholl.
