You know how Jimmy Fallon likes to take bromantic vacations with Justin Timberlake? Well, the singer is on tour, so he found someone else to go with him. Who is his brostress? None other than Broadway sensation Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Not only that, the NBC late night host copied his newer friend’s goatee. The two bros loved having the same facial hair so much that they wrote a song about it. Two goats in a Boat! And just like G.O.A.T it is the Greatest Of All Time.
Just don’t tell Timberlake about any of this because he might go all *NSYNC on Fallon, as in telling his BFF Bye, Bye, Bye.
Two months ago, Lin-Manuel Miranda became a father to his second child, and now he has the adult version of a childhood disease.
The Broadway legend tweeted that he had the worst migraine of his life, but turns out he did not have one. He explained what is really ailing him, by writing “Hey, cool story This isn’t a migraine, it’s shingles! Caught it early, quarantined away from the baby, in a Phantom mask til further notice.”
Now the man who made millions on the Great White Way is stuck staying with his parents until the doctors clear him to go back to his house. Something I am sure his mother is loving because what mother does not love to spoil her sick child? I am sure she is giving him all the chicken soup he wants. Can chicken soup make the chickenpox/shingles feel less itchy?
On a personal note, this is very difficult for me to write. I never had the chickenpox. Even though I got the vaccine, every time I hear either chickenpox or shingles, I immediately start to itch. I have been itching like crazy while writing this and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
We all know all the music to Hamilton as is, but Weird Al Yankovic changed it up. He gave it his own special feel and that means Polka. The rap musical sounds nothing like you are used to, and yet it strangely works. Coming to Broadway in 2020, Polkaton.
In case you have not heard, Lin-Manuel Miranda played Alexander Hamilton in a little Broadway musical he wrote, directed and starred in called Hamilton. But how is the New York Puerto Rican going to meet the man who died 213 years ago? He is not. So what happens if he comes across a statue of one America’s founding fathers? Hamilton looks at him, like “Where’s my cut of the pie, bitch?” Something Mirnada owes him a lot of Alexander Hamiltons aka $10 bills for all the Benjamin Franklins he made off of the Tony winning show.

James Corden put on another Crosswalk Musical outside the CBS studios where he tapes The Late Late Show and this time he is doing Hair. The host got a huge name to guest star with him and that name is Lin-Manuel Miranda. The two men along with several background dancers took it to the streets of Fairfax and belted out Age of Aquarius and Hair to the several frustrated drivers who are stuck in LA traffic. Suddenly they were less upset.
But then everyone got a big surprise for the musical’s final number Let the Sunshine In. For those of you not familiar with the Broadway play, that is where the cast gets naked. CBS and California told the two Tony winners that they could not go full monty in public, but did they listen? Nope, they let the sunshine in all over their bodies. That’s right we saw their sun and moon as the passerbys were singing Good Morning Starshine in their cars if know what I mean!
The only problem I had with that number was seeing Corden’s mic pack coming out of his butt. Let’s not assume what was holding it in place…
Finally, Hair and Little Shop of Horrors are my favorite musicals, so I am very critical of all renditions of both shows. And all I have to say is they did the musical proud! Bravo! Bravo! Franks Mills would give it two penises up! White Boys, Black Boys and people from Manchester, England across the Atlantic sea would love this crosswalk version as much as I do!
