if i had a nickel for every time Matt Kizer stole the show for me and broke my heart in a Rachel Chavkin-directed musical based on a staple of American Literature, I'd have two nickels.
And i absolutely want it to happen again.

dawnlt Tonight was a magical and such an out of body experience. Working with so many gifted and marvelous human beings this week is mind boggling. AND WE SANG BENEATH THE BLUE WHALE! Such an incredible experience. Dave Malloys mesmerizing music and book, Rachel Chavkins enchanted direction and Or Matias' superb music direction cast the perfect spell. I'm TOTALLY a history and archeological geek. I believe artists are excavating constantly. Thank you to Alonzo and his team at the museum and the wonderful folks at A.R.T. (Emma, Mark, and more). Come out and catch us in Boston this winter. We'd love to see you. Moby Dick at A.R.T! You never know who you might see. Tonight Lin Manuel Miranda just happened to show up. Lol. This is my life.
