      I was a wreck watching the scene where Ti Moune’s parents say good-bye to her at the end of Act I. (The actors playing the parents were so loving, so understanding, and so helpless to stop the inevitable.)

      Oh gosh, how powerful. It has been fun to see your posts over the years, and I know the performances are even better in person. Looking forward to seeing how far she’ll take her gifts :)
