this sounds interesting, really excited to see what lin-manuel does with ‘octet.’ his unique style will definitely bring something special to it!

I have no idea about what the original musical is but Tick Tick Boom was a phenomenal directorial debut from Miranda so I’m down with whatever he does next

I looked it up, “Octet is an a cappella musical centered on eight internet-obsessed people who meet in a church basement, lock their phones in a box, and share their struggles with digital dependency.”
I’ll pass.

Thought Lin did such an amazing job at Tick Tick Boom so I’m seated. He clearly has a good eye for direction but also knows how to adapt a musical properly knowing how to balance respect for the original work while making changes to make it more suitable for film.

Honestly I’m curious how he’ll translate that stage energy into film. Octet is so intimate, it could either hit really hard or lose something.

I first read this as Ocelot and thought we were getting a Metal Gear musical.

This was showing by my place just a a few weeks ago. I thought it was a local community theater. I did not know it was supposed to be any sort of deal.
