I'm sitting here watching the show, and I'm near tears with how Lin-Manuel is just so genuine.
This is definitely worth a watch.
My wife was crying pretty much the entire last half hour. It was an excellent show and amazing they captured so much of the creation of the music as he wrote it.

I liked how they went to George Washington's estate and toured the slave quarters.
I can't stand the deification of our founding fathers, so including a section on that was a good reminder that none of them were perfect, especially Washington.
I'm watching it now and I'm struck by how Dubya comes across as very intelligent. I spent years loathing the guy but now I'm wondering if he seems better because of eight years of perspective or if it's just Trump making everyone else look good.

I always thought GWB was terrible when he needed to give a speech, but always sounded with it in a general conversation.
This was good, but it definitely sounded like Lin-Manuel sang and recorded it for Dwayne, who then tried to match his version as closely as possible. I can understand why! But I very much hear L-M's voice behind that.

You're just tuned into it. It's the same as how The Muppets sound like Flight of the Conchords (and Clement is also doing some Moana work too, I think?).
Just got out of a Chicago performance. It was amazing. The guys playing Jefferson and Madison were having so much fun the whole show. Eliza still bringing the tears

I'm real excited for that Regina Spektor and Ben Folds version of Dear Theodosia
I saw this kid at an open mic night. It's a little rough, but totally adorbs. I don't think I would know all the words at that age, let alone have the courage to stand at a mic and deliver. http://youtu.be/kbV8LlDez_M
Ugh, i have to wait for it til tomorrow? I just caught up on the last two pages and was really excited when i saw that because i thought it might still be in the past, but nope, I'm current.

Kinda wish we got a little more music, but it was super good.

Was taken a little out of it when he had to stop it to shout "FUCK YOU" when Bush and Paul Ryan appeared in it

Thanks for this, this was a straight up fascinating read
I really, really need to see the whole performance.
And whatever that Dessa track is, obviously
also Chance doing Dear Theodosia
Congratulations is a cut song (or one that just never made it in) that takes place after the Reynolds pamphlet.
Oh, that will be very good for her
She is very good at doing that
you can really hear Ja's growl in LMM's delivery of "as long as I'm alive Eliza, swear to god you'll never feel so (helpless)"
dang
Sia's take on Satisfied could be really fucking good, too.
That Spektor/Folds Dear Theodosia has the potential to make me cry even harder than the original, which is... good?
Gosh, what a lineup. I need that shit like yesterday.
When it got out that he was doing one the tracks, I couldn't figure out which one would make sense.
Then it's announced and it's like oh, duh of course he's doing that one.
