Ha ha, only a CCer would think of that!! :D

I also thought ITH was great and it happens to be a show that my MT kid is infatuated with! Lin Manual Miranda is an idol as she’d like to be just like him (by the way, she found herself sitting right next to him at another show once but said nothing to him!). But he first starting writing/composing ITH when a student at Wesleyan and his show went through the stages to get to Bdway and he starred in it (I saw it with him but he is not in it now). My D also wrote a musical in college and it is now going to the next level (she also plays a lead in it) and in fact, the Tony winning musical director of ITH was asked to be the musical director of my D’s show, and he really likes her show and music and considered it but can’t fit it in now as he is working on the ITH movie! My D should only be half as fortunate as Miranda. I’m glad you saw the show. But I guess the scholarship storyline doesn’t make sense, LOL.
