2/ Fast-forward, March 2016. Back in New York, back in New York. Having dinner with my friend @OlatiJ. Her kids just regale us with the soundtrack, the fan videos, the dance moves. It was just one of the funnest bits of kid enthrallment I& #39;d ever seen. Revelatory, by proxy!
3/ Three months later, at Sulzberger program at Columbia (I did not amaze and astonish). Part of culture to go out every night with group. But I am resolved to see show. Tickets are insane. Gulp, we& #39;re doing this. I get to theater. Honestly the pre-game almost as good as show.
4/ Folks outside, some hoping for tickets. Some just there to commune. So many high school kids. So many teachers. And everybody just singing like, every song.
5/ Eventually we go inside.
6/ And here& #39;s my favorite part. So I spent, ~$1,400 on that ticket. I& #39;ve never spent anything like that on anything that wasn& #39;t travel or a piece of furniture in my life. And I am super Quaker guilty about it. But I introduce myself to a lady, also a solo seat next to me and...
7/ She says "you bought my extra ticket! That& #39;s how I could afford to come here!" She& #39;s a music teacher from CO, got tickets early. Drove across country, staying sister in Jersey (everything happens in...). Was worried it wouldn& #39;t sell; i only bought a few days ago.
8/ So Quaker guilt lifts. She tells me like a million music teacher things about the show, which I wish I& #39;d wrote down. And the show is...simply the best thing I& #39;ve ever seen not a single regret about the money.
9/ After the show, if anything the crowd is more joyous.
10/ And the cast comes out, and does their thing. Which is super generous of them, also world& #39;s best hype squad. Here& #39;s me with @DaveedDiggs (not the greatest photo of either but).
One of the things that can& #39;t be captured in cast album is his genius for physical comedy.

11/ Here& #39;s @Lin_Manuel. Who is an inspiration not just for his phenomenal talent, but his generosity of spirit and deed. (Also, yes, I got the playbill signed by him, Daveed, and a few other key players.)
12/ New guilt: How had I not jumped on show at The Public. Esp since now clear I have a theater kid on my hands. So, gulp, I sign up for season at SNH aka @BroadwaySF so we can see traveling show. Which we do, twice. At one, #tommykail is in aisle next to us, taking notes
13/ Those performance of Hamilton were amazing also. And so was the whole season, really grounded our family in a love of musical theater. And my child is a Ham4Ham, or at least a ham now. Here, in a fractured fairy tale
14/ And here, in various roles.
15/ Finally, one of my favorite tweets ever. If you& #39;ve never seen or if you& #39;ve seen a traveling cast or even the original cast, I would highly recommend as a balm for the soul and a pure engagement with human and artistic potential> https://twitter.com/lin_manuel/status/568243453206913024?lang=en">https://twitter.com/lin_manue...
