And it feels like it was all done for the "lesbian reveal" near the end. (They gave their reasons for the changes but I honestly rolled my eyes.) "

Miranda's GamerGate explanation for the gender swap might be howit came up in his head, but I'm sure that gender swap would have happene

Threw it on my home speakers when it dropped. Decided I needed to listen to it more closely with ear buds in. I have now listened to it 3 times through....

The production on this is outstanding. The performances are...outstanding. But at the end of it all I was not thrilled.

This recording is A LOT. Taking the songs separately, there are a number of good ones. Miranda went B**ls to the wall with this. And as a recording it is pretty flawless. There are nods to Sondheim and Larso

The only social media I do is Facebook. I have seen a few racial comments regarding her playing the part. One of my first thoughts is that she may have seen them and this fan art pushed her over the edge.

I have been flipping through my copy trying to find it. Can anyone tell me? I would like to re-read it up to that point before seeing the movie."
