I study how tradeshow booths explode with positive energy. #Ham4Ham is essentially a trade show booth outside the theatre.
I study how new startup are actually sequels to other companies.

Not even joking, Lin and JJ did a soundtrack deal at the Hamilton show

Outside of the Hamilton show was another show. Patti LuPone across from #Ham4Ham
