    You might be able to tell from the interview clips where I'm in a sweater, but this doc took about six months and over 2,000 hours to make. I can honestly say that after this behemoth of a video and a month of going to bed at 3am and waking up at 8am I can feel myself creeping closer than ever to burn out. I'd love to be able to take a break, but with financial and, in some cases, legal obligations to get these videos up, I can't.
    The channel's officially gotten way too big for one person and the only way it can survive is by growing the team. Don't get me wrong, I love doing it. But with how high the workload is getting, love and all nighters isn't enough. If you want to keep seeing high quality documentaries and preserving the history of these shows then chip in a dollar and help us reach our $50k goal on Kickstarter! The future of Wait in the Wings depends on it: www.kickstarter.com/projects/waitinthewings/wait-in-the-wings-new-heights

    I remember becoming a fan of Freestyle Love Supreme because of their collabs with College Humor back in the day. I can still recite Lin's battle rap against Amir word for word to this day lol. I knew about "In The Heights" but was shocked when "Hamilton" started gaining traction and I realized that Lin was behind it all.
