his shirt says "MR. WRITE." you get it? mr. WRITE!! hahahaha
i first saw IN THE HEIGHTS, last year for my friend TIYA's birthday. i had loved LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA previous to that, but seeing him perform live made him seem more amazing, if possible. he raps (FREESTYLES - like REALLY freestyles. off the dome), he sings, composes, performs, he's funny and he even dances a little. he's GREAT!
anyways, at the 2008 TONY awards, when giving his acceptance speech (which he RAPPED), he began to freestyle and made reference to the great STEPHEN SONDHEIM: “Mr. Sondheim, look, I made a hat where there never was a hat, and it’s a Latin hat at that!” ... true broadway fans understand (look it up.)
