Side Tangent: That One Time Lin-Manuel Miranda Called My Cell


Listen Later

On air December 30th, 2019. Recorded December 24th, 2019.

We’re on break this week for the holidays, but what better time than the holidays to sit down by a metaphorical fire for storytime? In this first (and only) edition of Patricia’s Momentary Brushes With Fame, Patricia recounts the time she wrote a blog post about Hamilton creator and King of Twitter Lin-Manuel Miranda — which he later found. And asked to follow up on. Via phone.

In this bonus episode, Patricia talks about how that happened, as well as her very personal connection with Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first show In the Heights, her thoughts about colorblind casting in musical theater, and the one thing Lin-Manuel Miranda said to her that changed her life.
