[@thefriendlyemo5744]

1:46 I randomly paused

[@MariaThereseC]

I will never be able to listen to Once And For All without the feels completely destroying me. Like it came up in this when I wasn't expecting it and I just started hyperventilating and if it had played any longer I would have been a sobbing mess. WHAT IS IT THAT THIS MUSICAL DOES TO ME

[@marleighw3776]

I watched newsies live and praying for it to come out on DVD

My theatre director says if it goes to Broadway in Spring then my school might be able to do it next school year, for my SENIOR year. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Really hoping it heads over there in Spring!
