On set cry of the day: Remembering 2008, flying home straight from my Abuelo Guisin’s funeral in 🇵🇷 to the second week of Heights Broadway performances.
I remember steeling myself for Alabanza, the eulogy, then Carnaval snuck up on me. 1/4
But @EliseoNY saw it before I did.
As Piraguero he sings, “Pa’rriba esa bandera...” and I join him for the harmony in the second half. We are face to face.
And he SQUEEZES my hand, the other to his heart, on
“Y cuando yo me muera...
Entiérrame en mi tierra”
& holds me up. 2/4
Tears pour down my face for the happiest moment in the show. 3/4
Fast forward to this week: there I’ll be, dressed like my Abuelo Guisin, on the high harmony, one hand holding a flag, the other hand gripped to my heart, singing with @ARamosofficial:
“Y cuando yo me muera,
Entiérrame en mi tierra...”
Life moves in huge, strange circles.
4/4
