I was skeptical when first I heard of it...but damn, it's pretty good!


You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Just came from this evening's performance. McCollum and Seller have an "urban musical fetish," in addition to their desire to cultivate new works and groom new voices.

In short, it's a pretty good show. The music is decent, yet tends to sound repetitive by early in the second act. The opening and closing numbers of Act I are spectacular, made all the more enjoyable by original, highly-charged horeography we've not seen the likes of on a main Broadway stage in several seasons.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, the show's star and composer/lyricist, is undoubtedly the next John Leguizamo (except he's way, WAY cuter). Agents will be falling over themselves to book this guy for television and film. Let's hope he stays with this project for awhile, strengthens the book with writer Quiara Alegria Hudes, and transfers uptown next season. With some work, it's got Broadway potential.

I'd encourage New Yorkers to check this one out soon and start spreading the word. Visitors, put it on your list for shows you can see this year and be "in the know" when it rises next.

Congrats to all involved in the production! Did I mention the choreography is electric?
