Just over a month ago I embarked on what would become my most creatively fulfilling experience ever on stage. A group of people, divinely assembled, got together to make magic.
There are so many people to mention:
@mrubinoff you did it. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing would have happened if you didn’t have the vision and relentless drive to see it come alive.
@maryfrancismoore , you are a world class director and leader. In nobody else’s hands should this be in. You own the spaces you walk into and allow us to our best work.
@kimelman that you can make me look like a dancer is a feat on its own but you have weaved together movement that like the music of The Hip has layers upon layers. You are a poet of the body.
Ahmed and Jesse. You two were made for each other and made to bring this show to life. Your lives and heart are on these pages. It is the easiest show to ride.
This cast. Wow. Like a glove we all are. A perfect fit. Thank you for elevating me and teaching me so much as I watch and inhale your presence. Talia, thank you, especially, for being there with me on this journey. You anchor Waleed.
To
@thetragicallyhip , at first we were doing a show with your music, and now we are making a show with the best composer and lyricist of all time. Thank you and to
@jake0458 for letting us paint with your incredible palette.
The band!!! Wow. World class musicians led by the great
@bobfoster231 and special love to
@revmusic_ and Levon
To my family, you are with me every single second on this stage.
Finally, to my wife
@mogoshepp you are everything. The greatest thing I know. The greatest thing I see. Thank you for your love, support, and the light you shine on me. And thank you for getting us those sick jackets from Uganda! I was never a cool guy till I met you.
This is only the beginning!!!
