Let's Goooooo!!!! This episode is fun from the first downbeat! Kaiti is joined by her long time friend Maggie to discuss the movie musical In the Heights based on the 2008 Broadway musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton). The movie is now available in theatres and on HBO Max. Maggie is the perfect guest to speak with Kaiti about musicals because she is a super talented musical theatre graduate of Baldwin Wallace University and spent several years living/working in New York City and many other cities. Maggie provides a wonderful perspective of the movie from a music theatre fan and graduate!! We also get a fresh perspective from Kaiti as a musical fan and one who has never watched the In the Heights musical before. You don't want to miss this episode to hear the amazing story Maggie has of her time in New Your City where she met an actor very close to the Muggle with a Mic fandom! The episode is rounded off with a fun game of Fill-in the Blank (Lyrical Version)!
