“I have hardly met a single soul, but I am not alone, I feel known! This is wanting something, this is praying for it, this is holding breath and keeping fingers crossed.”

If you add up the millions lost on ‘Civil War’ and ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel,’ he’s probably the most unsuccessful composer in the history of Broadway in terms of the amount of money lost.

Speak up, take a stand, and there’s someone to write about it. That’s how things get better.

IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY THAT THE LAST SHOW OF A BROADWAY RUN BE PROFESSIONALLY RECORDED AND SOLD. THIS HAS BEEN A PSA.

What made “Fun Home” sing? Jeanine Tesori: When Lisa Kron showed me the book and I looked at panels, I knew it sang. As I get older, there’s a reliance on impulse and intuition. I can’t stand it when people say [characters] sing in a musical when they can’t talk. What the fuck does that mean? I knew that [working on the show] would be a real load of heartbreak, because it’s such a difficult story to tell. There was an inner world [in the graphic novel] that was dying to get out and there was an outer world that was dying for it not to. I knew it would sing. I just didn’t know how we would do it.

When the curtain rises on that something this month, audiences will find themselves face-to-face with a past that feels as alive as the present, with Aaron Burr (Leslie Odom, Jr.), James Madison (Okieriete Onaodowan), Thomas Jefferson (Diggs), and George Washington (Jackson) strutting onto the stage—a rap crew in costume designer Paul Tazewell’s frock coats and breeches—and Burr asking:

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten Spot in the Caribbean by Providence, impoverished, in squalor Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

David Korins’s bi-level set of shipbuilders’ wood and brick invokes an unfinished country, populated by an ensemble that looks on as the action unfolds, witnesses (as we are) to history. “Musicals are about transitions,” Kail says. “I knew that every scene change would be done by the people who were building America.”
