      I will never forget the majesty of Phantom in that huge theater, or the knowledge that I was watching a Broadway show in 1993. But, RENT.

      Seeing RENT in 1996, with my first boyfriend. An out college sophomore in 1996, seeing a popular musical about ~a version of~ our lives.

      It was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. It was seeing my fantasies—plays I devoured in high school—come to life, & in gay technicolor.

      Yes, it was a one-off from the AIDS plays I'd read, but it had a hope that so many of them understandably lacked. It was a story about life.

      I remember the entire audience, putty in Adam Pascal's hands for those opening notes of "One Song Glory"—hearing the exhale when he sang.

      I remember Angel jumping on that table, Joanne and Maureen fighting/loving, Collins breaking, leaving the theater in a fog.

      "Seasons of Love" became, for me and so many people my age, a sign of hope rising out of a scary, deadly fifteen years of AIDS.

      Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes...were minutes for which people were grateful that they, we, got to experience them.

      Twenty years later, I've often been finding myself thinking of "Seasons of Love"—when I listen to Hamilton's "That Would Be Enough."

          Next month, I'll be seeing Hamilton with @ATLJono and another dear friend, @yusefnyc, and I can't wait to share the incredible show w/ them.

          And, given the twists and turns my life has taken since 1996, I know, and it hits me each time, the fact that I'm alive is a miracle.

          I don't have an ending for this story, other than to say I am grateful for amazing theater that has given me so much insight into my life.
