With Next to Normal and Falsettos being my favorite musicals and I love this!!

[@Alex-nf1jy]

My exact comment lol

I think that son is just adorable... SO TRUE! (Both Aaron and Kyle Dean)

"...drugs..."
I laughed so hard!

[@emylye627]

This seems to be the new Forbidden Broadway, and Andrew Byrne's a worthy successor (if Alessandrini has to stop writing, which I really, really wish he wouldn't). Brilliant use of Falsettoland, too... and a great performance. I just love this.

[@nataliasoto7206]

This is to the melody of "The Baseball Game", right?

[@JonathanBontragerWaite]

Natalia Soto Yes. (Here's to the 2016 Broadway revival!)

[@hannahinwood4249]
