Quick Thoughts: Yeah. I know it’s a movie but Disney+ never has anything and now it has Hamilton and Beyoncé. It was also an excuse to put Psych 2 in here. Anyway, it’s real good y’all. I thought that I would be thoroughly inoculated against sobbing when I saw it because I listened to the soundtrack for a solid year. Nope. Intense ugly crying in The Richard Rodgers Theatre.
