Quote by -Mandy Patinkin
I was forced to lie to my father by doctors and relatives. I made that choice and agreed with them, and I will never, ever get over it.

I saw 'Hamilton' when it was at the Public, and I just wept profusely in my seat because this is a form I love deeply, and to watch it be reinvented in such a genius, gifted way and executed by such a brilliant company of human beings, I was overwhelmed with not just appreciation for the piece of work itself but for the possibility.
