Follow the story of Nicholas Dayton who's 10 years old and a fan of In The Heights. He started posting videos of himself singing songs from the musical on youtube. Eventually this would reach the Richard Rodgers Theatre and the show's creator Lin-Manuel Miranda himself. Upon seeing the posted videos, Mr. Miranda would comment on the site and give encouragement to Nicholas to keep following his dream. Well, here just listen to Mr. Miranda tell the story himself in this video:
When Lin-Manuel Met Nicholas
Here is a print interview of Nicholas and his mom on their trip to New York.
And finally here is Nicholas performing the finale with the whole In The Heights cast on the Richard Rodgers stage. Dreams do come true!
