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 open.spotify.com/playlist/16V7C…
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 open.spotify.com/playlist/3c7uE…
Just realizing now that I concluded two different mixes with All Night by Beyoncé. Woops but I regret nothing, GOD what a song--LMM open.spotify.com/playlist/3gvMF…
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
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

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
Violence and hate against the #AAPI community is against all of us. My family + I are supporting @aaaj_alc’s important work. Here's more information and ways you can help...-LMM
