I love that the kids call it 'magic,' hee.


hows krsyta in her u/s roles?

She's great- I was personally more a fan of her Vanessa than her Carla, but she's perfectly lovely in both roles.


Has "Working" been discussed here yet? Technically moreso Lin-Manuel love than ITH love, but then that would involve me having to venture outside of this thread. :)

"Working" is getting reworked. The 1970s tuner about the daily grind is getting a high-profile update in a new incarnation, with original creator Stephen Schwartz ("Wicked") overseeing a streamlined, updated version that includes two new songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda, already a hot property as the tunesmith and star of "In the Heights."

(snip)

Work on "Working" began in earnest about a year ago. "We started talking about a composer who would add another flavor, something contemporary and something Latino," Greenberg says. With that in mind, Schwartz asked Miranda to participate.

The composer-lyricist contributes two new tunes, a song about a man who works at McDonald's (based on his own first job at an Upper West Side Mickey D's) and another about immigrant senior-care workers.

"It's a job no one else wants to do," Miranda says. "Those are basically the jobs immigrants do in America. That's how we start."

I was thinking this morning when I was drinking my morning coffee in my "No pare, sigue, sigue!" shirt that they should have shirts with other Spanish phrases from the show! I personally would love to see a "no me diga" or a "paciencia y fe" shirt.

Ok, I was definitely thinking that I would LOVE a "no me diga shirt!"

The back can show a broken down Mr. Softee truck !!
