One of the best side missions of @freestylelove supreme is that somewhere around 2004, I called dibs on making the pre-show playlists, & they just continue to let me? Anyway, I made EIGHT for the Bway run this year, here they are...--LMM

The only mission in the pre-show playlists is to create as wild an array of music as possible: we don't know what's gonna happen in @freestylelove, so prepping the audience to be ready for anything is impt--LMM

It's also gotta hype US up, because we (@freestylelove) can hear the music in the wings--LMM

Okay, going to post a bunch of bts pictures of the Sunday sequence from #ticktickBOOMmovie now. This was an early draft of the tableau, though we didn't end up putting Howard McGillin aka the longest running Phantom on the roof... -LMM #SundayDeepDive
Would not have happened w/o my fearless 1st AD @MComitini, who had to juggle LEVELS of quarantine & keep artists 6 feet apart at all times. Almost every group shot you see is several separate shots put together in postproduction. We had 3 days to get it. -LMM #SundayDeepDive Mariela crossing out shots in our pre-viz.Football diagram of Sunday sequence
Example: @Andre_DeShields and @heebyfluff shoot at the same time, same with @MjRodriguez7 and Joel Grey, but I had to shoot them separately and put them all together after. Multiply by *you've seen the movie* and you get a sense of the logistics involved. -LMM #SundayDeepDive ghost versionns of MJ, ANDRE, JOEL and BETH

On this #GivingTuesday, we are grateful for all the orgs with which we collaborate throughout the year. Here we highlight 4 orgs we love - we will be matching all gifts made through these links -LMM  (1/6)
.@DRMariposas creates sustainable solutions to end generational poverty in the Dominican Republic by educating + empowering girls. They just launched a Spanish book series for kids & are raising money to print + distribute to children in DR. (2/6)bit.ly/3ljbtLA
My mom @ltmphd is on board of @PPAct which has been leading organizing + advocating for repro rights + education. This week #SCOTUS will hear a case explicitly asking to overturn Roe v. Wade. We cannot sit back + hope the courts protect our rights. (3/6)bit.ly/3llRCvr

Okay, here's a #VivoMusicDeepDive, I have a little time.
If you haven't seen #VivoMovie yet on @NetflixFilm , bookmark this thread til AFTER you've watched, porfa!
First song, One of A Kind...-LMM 1/??
Started writing One Of A Kind in 2009, and the dare to myself was simple: Start with the simplest rhythm in the world, and just keep building. Organ plays 2 chords, oompah oompah, and take off from there.
#VivoMusicDeepDive
Vivo's first two lines were originally:
"Tough crowd, nothing I haven't seen before, I'll have to pull out the stops & give them even more-" which are now in the reprise.
I was also playing Usnavi 8 shows a week at the time, so this is semi-autobiographical... #VivoMusicDeepDive
