I loved it. Lin-Manuel and Quiara put together a wonderful show that did well. The script and lyrics were crafted beautifully. I can only hope to see this done somewhere with a proper casting to honor what these creators had in mind.

If the film gets pushed back again, I’ll be so sad.

I just love this musical :)
The introduction and about the authors was probably the best part of the book, but it was nice to be able to actually see the spanish sections and try to understand them. (Spoiler alert but it's mostly swear words lol)

I loved every second of teaching this musical! Lin-Manuel Miranda is obviously a genius, but I also loved how meaningful and powerful this was.
