It’s a glorious Rodgers & Hammerstein summer for us readers. Currently inhaling the new Mary Rodgers/Jesse Green joint.

Staff pics for April at @dramabookshop. I also picked The Reason To Sing by the great composer and teacher Craig Carnelia for this month, working on getting more copies. Signed a bunch of Encanto vocal scores yesterday too. -LMM https://t.co/EO1szDJOVG

My July staff pick for @dramabookshop: Working On A Song by @anaismitchell. I think it's required reading for aspiring AND working theater lyricists: writing IS rewriting. It's such a gift for her to share how every rewrite gets her closer and closer to Hadestown's greatness.-LMM https://t.co/y4sbh1A7J8

Came home to find my summer reading waiting for me…the collected letters of Oscar Hammerstein II. Opened it only to be gobsmacked by a personal dedication ... I’ll be deep in this book if you need me. -LMM

Very proud of my friend @begreatwitnate and his new book The You You Never Knew. We talk a lot about making miracles happen to get to do what we love but Nate is a living embodiment of that drive and purpose, and it’s all in these pages. Proud proud proud.

Alright, you enormous, magnificent bastard, It took the better part of a year, but I finally finished you ... You contain so much about how to be alive and I’m grateful for our time together. Merry Xmas.

Unexpected perk--I get to do a monthly staff pick at the @dramabookshop! I picked @TheLivingMJ's brilliant A Strange Loop. Come check us out and thanks to those of you who came to opening day.-LMM https://t.co/73bm2lj9BI https://t.co/HpB2bqduww
