Holy crap. This is exceptional. I kind of prefer this to the Broadway clips that I've seen of this show. The passion is off the charts!

I played Asaka for this play, UGH. It always sticked with me, the music, the lyrics, everything. Much props to the person who made this musical.

NOTHING BUT LOVE

Interesting design. I like the gobos on the cyc and the design on the floor. Good mix of colors and i like the feel. I built and spot lit this show as a freshman for my schools production. We brought 14 tons of sand onto the stage for it. Just did the junior version but with middle school actors (now almost 4 years later) for my program’s fundraiser. Only 3 tons this time 😂

[@selabailey7613]

I was Villager 1 and gossiper 1 when I DoD this play at my school.
