    Daveed Diggs and Christopher Jackson absolutely stole the show (alongside Leslie Odom Jr.)

    Agreed!

    I will thank Lin Manuel if only for being the reason I discovered clipping. though. Imagine me listening to Splendor & Misery for the first time and realizing how under-appreciated Diggs is.

    Oh my god, just listening right now. Fuck Lin Manuel, I will thank you instead. God, why (tho I can guess) did Diggs had to put up with this shit for so long...
