The poses are really good, and the camera positions are chosen to give an as good view as possible. The lipsyncing is believable, I really like how the entire face is working together to display the emotion.

good poses and lip synch! you really need to work on your camera staging, your cameras are breaking the 180 degree rule and its awkward for the viewers. also when you have a key pose like having her head on her knee, hold the whole body there for a moment. its important to have holds in animation and not have the whole body moving consistently!

why bother putting the leg up and down? Make up your mind, it's distracting

I have commented elsewhere that musical theatre animation acting is proving a hard one to pull off. A lot of floating through the animation it seems, with irrelevant actions. I don't want to be a harsh critic, but pose the character within it's limitations and act it through to see if these are motions and expressions that you would make when dreaming about a better world.
