Whether you’re a Broadway fan or not, you’ve most likely heard about the craze (or been part of it!) surrounding “Hamilton” or “Dear Evan Hansen” starring Lin Manuel-Miranda and Ben Platt respectively. The two are responsible for some of Broadway’s biggest current hits. The catchy and powerful songs from the musicals have transcended genres and have filled playlists of those indifferent and Broadway super fans alike.
Lin Manuel-Miranda and Ben Platt have teamed up to create a new song called “Found/Tonight” which is a mash-up of the song “The Story of Tonight” from “Hamilton” and “You Will Be Found” from “Dear Evan Hansen.” “”Found/Tonight” was arranged by Tony-winning orchestrator Alex Lacamoire, who won awards for his work on both “Hamilton” and “Dear Evan Hansen.” It is a beautiful song in its own right but it has an even better meaning behind it. A portion of the proceeds will go to the March For Our Lives, which has been created in support of common sense gun laws. This is just one example of how celebrities have been using their platform to support the mission of the students at Majory Stoneman Douglas. If you like what you hear, be sure to purchase it and help aid the March.
