What came to mind while watching the original Broadway cast onscreen for the first time?
I was reminded of the work it took to get that thing up on its feet, which is the hardest part of theater. It was a near-perfect collaboration across the board. You don’t get to see Andy Blankenbuehler’s choreography or Tommy Kail’s direction or Howell Binkley’s lighting design on the cast album.
Everybody touched this thing and prayed for it and gave it their best because we thought it was worthy. I watched the movie and thought, look at this magnificent thing we made together. Look at what can happen when these rooms look a lot more like our communities and our world. Look at what can happen when the table gets bigger, when the room expands and more people are invited to the party.
