    This is a great cast. 

    Hopefully the “LMM is overrated” discourse stays at the door.

    I’m really happy for Gaten and the success he’s getting post-Stranger Things. He’s really talented!

    I feel like if ages were a little shifted and more matched this is kinda the perfect alternative Wicked casting lol. I’m so excited for this, LMM made a strong directorial debut and I’m excited to see him behind the camera again

    As a recovering musical theater BFA, I have had the ick for most things MT ever since. However. This. Is. VERY. EXCITING.

    Very intrigued by all the different handwriting. The ink running out on some irks me a little.

  7. I wish my handwriting was somewhere in between Amanda’s and Sheryl’s. Looks really beautiful but also super cool

  8. Awww! It’s so special for Phillipa Soo to be here, considering her breakout role was in Dave Malloy’s Comet, where Lin first saw her before inviting her to join Hamilton.

    I’m not familiar with Octet (I’ve listened to Great Comet and Ghost Quartet they just are not for me), but this cast is absolutely incredible. I might have to give the original cast recording a try.
