On Sondheim's 80th birthday in 2010, @roundaboutnyc asked a bunch of theater composers to each write a song for the occasion & perform it for the maestro himself. Or as @lindsayabaire put it that evening: "It's Michael Jordan's birthday: dribble for him."
(1/i dunno yet by -LMM) An intimidating assignment, to say the least. To begin to say what Sondheim means to you, to Sondheim himself. Everyone went at it differently & brilliantly. I went...meta. I rewrote the lyrics to Barcelona from Company & made it about the evening itself. One problem...(2/ha)

The resolve that the Ukrainian people have shown since this invasion began is humbling & inspiring. We advocate for an immediate end to Russia’s hostility against them, so they may continue to chart their own future. Ukrainians, we are with you. 🇺🇦 -LMM (1/4) Donating may seem like a drop in a bucket, but it's a place to start. Our family will be donating to @UrgentAct, a feminist fund that protects, strengthens and sustains women and non-binary human rights defenders at critical moments. (2/4)

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

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

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.

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."

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

Hi, can I interest you in a tv show where folks our age and OLDER reunite to remount their high school musicals in just five days?
It’s like a weekly Waiting For Guffman. For real.
Thanks for stopping. I have clips!
An Encore! Thread: Kristen Bell. She makes the show! Last week they did Oklahoma! and in this clip, this lady recounts how the director, her MOTHER (!) told her to practice kissing in a closet with her co-star until they were good at it (the zoom is mine, not the show’s)
