today i'm going to be talking about the wonderful lin manuel miranda and musicals in general.
as you might know, all of middle school i was a theater kid, which i'm not embarrassed to admit. i made my best friend through theater and i just have such amazing memories.
today i was vacuuming my house while listening to burn from hamilton. as i was listening, i was thinking to myself: "wow, lin manuel miranda is really a musical genius. how in the world did he write an almost 3 hour long musical about HISTORY??"
and then i went on to think about how many musicals he's written (which is 4 if you were wondering: in the heights, bring it on, hamilton, and 21 chump street). i'm completely in awe of his work and how creative he is.
one more thing i want to say: go watch your local theater productions. seriously. over the years, i've watched probably over 12 productions from local theaters. and yes, sometimes the tickets are expensive, but in my opinion it is SO extremely worth it.

| all of my playbills from the past 4 years (some shows don't have physical ones anymore) |
near us, there are theater companies such as inside out, broadway kids, and flct. i also love going to watch musicals at american heritage which eat every time. every single production i watch from them never miss. mind you, the actors and actresses are all (usually) teenagers.
these people are SO talented. i cannot stress to you enough. after every show, i walk out out of the theater in awe, with my jaw on the floor.
so please, go support!! go appreciate the arts. appreciate the young talent that is bound for broadway and the big screen.
so yeah! that's all for today and i'll catch you on the next one!!
don't wish for it, work for it.
