Does Mario ever get time off!? He's such a hard worker.
I can't say enough about "In the Heights" on Broadway. I have not seen it, but I've listened to the soundtrack. And I've seen glimpses of the show on youtube and I am in love! It's FANTASTIC! I hope they win all 13 awards they are nominated for this year at the Tonys!
