yeah i have a feeling i'll be trying to afford tickets for my wife to see this at some point this year too. Like i said she's gotten really REALLY into it, showing us YouTube clips and interview clips from the Mr Miranda (who, as you mentioned, has a seemingly unending amount of energy and enthusiasm that is really infectious)
i didn't mention the Historical element of it in my original post, but yeah thats part of the charm and appeal to me too....the fact that i'm learning some genuine history by listening to this soundtrack/play and genuinely ENJOYING myself while doing it is a testament to the creativity of the work itself...i mean, on the surface at least, you wouldn't THINK that the historical source material would be thought of as 'entertaining', but put in this context and executed this well, it absolUTEly works on every level, IS entertaining, AND even makes you kinda wanna go back and read more/learn more about that source material....
so yeah, i'm like damn. well done...very very well done...
