I love the deceptive cadence in music, because it shows the potential for how music creates meaning. A melody or chord progression sets up an expectation, an anticipation, and then can either do what's expected or trick us. So what is the deceptive cadence and how does it work? Check out this video!

Apparently some people still don't know that Lin is planning to bring WARRIORS to the stage. Meanwhile, I've already released my first WARRIORS analysis video: https://youtu.be/uW8Sxo3CKlQ

Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys has died at the age of 82. He was a musical genius, and I actually have a mind-blowing Beach Boys music analysis in my back pocket. Now seems like it might be the perfect time to bring it out to celebrate his achievements. Would you be interested in that?

It's me with Hue Park, who just won Tonys for Best Score and Best Book, not to mention his show MAYBE HAPPY ENDING winning Best Musical! On top of writing a great show, he was really down to earth to talk to. For those of you who've seen MHE, would you be interested in me doing a break down of its music?

Last night's amazing HAMILTEN performance at the Tonys just reaffirmed my commitment to more HamilTEN content! In addition to my book about Hamilton coming out later this year, there are so many parts of the show I've yet to delve into! More coming soon, just you wait...

My friend Francis Jue is now a Tony Award winning actor!!!!! For context, I had been an admirer of Francis for years and years until last year when I got to work with him on a play in the Bay Area! It was during our time working on that play that he mentioned he'd be on Broadway in YELLOW FACE, the role that won him a Tony tonight! His speech was fantastic and referenced another actor Alvin Ing and the Sondheim production PACIFIC OVERTURES! What a thrill to see a friend win a Tony and to be so effortlessly gracious on the biggest stage of the year!

Not gonna lie, this Broadway season has been one of the greatest in recent memory! So this year's Tony Awards are super competitive and interesting! But also, who's tuning in today just to see the #HamilTEN reunion?

FROZEN the Broadway Musical proshot is coming to Disney Plus on June 20th! And the trailer says there are 12 new songs...which could be very interesting to see how they play with the themes they set up in the film.
