Drawing Inspiration
Lin-Manuel Miranda is a gifted writer and an accomplished playwright. From a young age, he always showed an interest in musicals. One musical that greatly influenced his career was Phantom of the Opera. This specific production had a significant impact on his professional life.

Being Brave
Daveed Diggs cherished the close bond he had with his dad. As a boy, they would often have fun going to watch movies together. One of their most memorable experiences was bursting into endless laughter while watching Jurassic Park. Though it remains uncertain which scenes precisely tickled their funny bones to that extent.
In the movie Godzilla, Diggs had a tough task of holding up a strong front, but at the moment the titles flashed on the screen, he was aware that he wouldn’t be able to withstand the whole film. It’s to his credit that, even as a young lad, he had the courage to communicate his limitations and comfort zones boldly.
King and Queen
Jonathan Groff really shines on the stage of Hamilton in the role of King George III. He’s always prepared with a melody and warning for the American colonies. Everyone’s unaware of the burden his crown carries, but surely, there’s a reason why Groff was specifically handpicked for this challenging role.
Just visualize receiving praises from Queen Bee herself about your manner of walking. We can totally relate to Groff’s response. This is the kind of royal companionship that we wholeheartedly support.
A Young Star
From her early years, Philipa Soo was smitten by the desire to perform. She possessed a special skill and an inner self-assurance that just had to be displayed, even to those busy painting her home.
Aretha Franklin was indeed an excellent pick to deliver some soulful notes. You can’t help but wonder what must have run through the minds of those artists as she performed. But we were fortunate because her deep affection for her craft never faded and we were witnesses to her magnificence, interpreting Eliza Schuyler in Hamilton with an extraordinary display of talent in singing and acting.
