CONFESSION — I’ve never seen Hamilton on stage!
I’ve heard the praises and the hype, but I’ve never had the opportunity to see it myself. When the traveling show made it’s way to Pittsburgh last year tickets were a hot commodity and sold out so quickly. That’s why I am so excited to watch Hamilton on Disney+ this Friday, July 3!

Ahhh — don’t you love a great musical? I have no doubt that these songs will soon be stuck in my head. Pair that with the fact that we get to see performances by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Anthony Ramos (the upcoming star of In the Heights), and Jonathan Groff (the voice of Kristoff in Frozen/Frozen 2), and we are certainly in for a treat.
Who else will be watching Hamilton this Friday?!

I will definitely be watching! I’ve never seen it live but I have listened to the soundtrack so many times I basically have it memorized. I’m excited!
oK, you are my favorite person ever! I love your site!! I wish I had been brave enough to do this!! Your work is awesome. Do you make the cakes and sell them? Is that a dumb question? I have two nieces who have just started reading the books. I wish I could make this cake, but it will not make it from Orlando to Virginia. I just made my first Howler, It is a lot of work, but worth it. I am a loyal follower! thanks, Debbie
Can’t wait to watch this on Disney+
