Piercing Ken Thoughts: Though I’m not schooled in this original story by the talented Lin-Manuel Miranda, I am happy to see it finally coming to the big screen as it seemed to be in a bit of a holding pattern for far too long. My guess is that the mind-blowing success of his “Hamilton” show has given the artist a whole lot more power and good for him. I love a good Broadway show and musical film and while I felt this had charm, it’s not the type of film I generally go to see. I’d prefer watching on the big screen television in my home but as I close up this announcement I wonder what you think about it. Chime in down below in the comments and I will see you next time.
