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

Doreen Montalvo was the first actress to audition for In The Heights in the basement of the Drama Book Shop in 2002. The first one. She sang La Lupe's Qué Te Pedi and embedded herself in my heart in an instant. Her voice was had that tear in it--that lágrima. Inimitable & hers.
She played Benny's mom Alma that first year. We cut the role. So she played Camila, then Daniela, then Abuela, and by 2007 she was so invaluable to us that she covered all those roles both Off and On Broadway, in addition to her onstage role, who @quiarahudes named "Cuca."
If you know In The Heights, you KNOW her voice. She sings,
"Mira, Nina, no me preocupo por ella" in Breathe.
She sings, "No te vayas,
Si me dejas,
Si te alejas de mi, seguiras en mis recuerdos para siempre.
Para siempre. Para siempre..."

My friend Fran Eppy died peacefully in her sleep this weekend.
If you saw Heights or Hamilton you met her.
She was an usher at the Rodgers.
& she was my surrogate abuela at the theater after my abuelas passed.
(it’s a miracle I even have this pic, she hated her picture taken) 1/2 Image
No matter what was going on, I could escape backstage to talk to Fran (“Lin are you eating? I worry...”) She made me laugh so hard & treated me like family from the day we met in 2008. Her son shared this pic w me.
I love her and I’m gonna miss her a lot. Rip Fran Eppy.💔 Image
(If any cast or crew from any Rodgers shows over the past 30 some-odd years wanna reach out to her family directly, I can put you in touch)
