first of all, if you’re bummed you missed @Lin_Manuel & @leslieodomjr, don’t be. I mean, I’m sure they were fantastic, but @JevonMcFerrin & @MrDanielBreaker are amazing.

If Jevon cries like that at every show, I hope he spends all his free time hydrating and watching puppy videos. And I’m pretty sure Burr isn’t supposed to be your favorite, but he was mine, so Daniel is clearly doing great work.

but I’m actually going to rewind a bit to the line to get in, which was the happiest place I’ve ever been. Two young women in front of me exuberantly making out, only pausing to scream “we’re seeing Hamilton!!!”

There was also a multiethnic family with like ten million kids and the most overwhelmed father and focused mother and the father was so excited to be taking his kids to the show I almost cried before I even got inside.

we had lottery tickets so we were in the second row. I went full Jewish mom and made friends with everyone around us by gushing, “we are all so lucky!!!!”

You know what’s not a sad song in Hamilton? The first number. You know when I started weeping uncontrollably (but silently)? The first number.

This has likely been said before (I mean generally, everything has), but I found myself thinking of RENT. Two decades ago, I was a NYC preteen allowed to walk uptown by myself to the Nederlander theater to enter the RENT lottery on weekends. (Apps didn’t exist yet.)

At first I thought it was probably the similar scaffolding-style set, the lottery-placed second row seating. That must be what reminded me of RENT. But then it felt like something more. Now here’s where I’m going to engage in a little projection.

I saw RENT more than two dozen times. It meant the entire world to me. Few shows mean something to audiences the way RENT and Hamilton have. I’m not an actor, but in both shows, there’s something palpable from the cast. It’s gotta be powerful to be part of something like that.

Both shows were/are inventive and dynamic in unprecedented ways. They told/tell stories that hadn’t been told before in ways that hadn’t been done before. Their creators also poured their whole selves into them. Again, projecting, but I feel sure that means something to an actor

I am feeling ALL of this, btw.
