I've been working with him all along from in the Heights and all the shows that he did, you know, experimentally for himself.

Um, and ultimately Hamilton, um,

So when he has vocal things that he has to prepare for, I am so lucky

And somewhat also continuously shocked that I'm being called upon to support Lin-Manuel Miranda.

And why I'm talking about this is that he came in several weeks in a row fairly recently to work on some material for a new show that they were just going to be workshopping and seeing if it is a show.

And I said to him, you know, he asked me, he goes, have you talked to Andrew Garfield?

And I said, yeah, I'm in touch with him all the time because this is how that story went.

It was on a weekend.

I get a text.

Hi, it's Lynn.

I need to talk to you about a new project.

Call me back.

I was like, let me give it five minutes before I call him back.

And I literally was like, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

Okay, time to call back.

So I called him back and he said, I wanted to let you know that I have a new project for us to work on.

And I said, oh, I said, cue the intrigue.

He said, I got the rights to do Tick, Tick, Boom, which was an off-Broadway play, kind of a cult play musical that a lot of musical theater people do know about.

And it was written by Jonathan Larson, who wrote Rent.

And he passed away before he realized what was going to happen with that show.
