Andrew Garfield & Vanessa Hudgens - "Therapy" by Jonathan Larson

This song has lived in my head for years. Never a “Rent-head” like so many of my peers, I felt that Larson often found the meat of a problem without finding the solution to it. In my youth I thought that was a bad thing. As I matured I realized that sometimes observing the problem is the solution.

Years later in a show here in Los Angeles with my good friend Ali McGinnis, we were tasked to perform this song together and I fell in love with it. I can say we were a bit less manic, but our performace during that run was phenomenal. Filled with the ups and downs of a relationship it helped us both to examine what it means to truly communicate with a partner.

Since then, this song has lived in my heart as a shining example of why Larson’s writing touched so many souls and how he was able to find the core truths in so many human situations.

After seeing this clip I am certainly going to bookmark the time to watch this show.

So today, feeling my feels, I chose Andrew Garfield & Vanessa Hudgens’ version "Therapy" by Jonathan Larson as my, drink it up, soak it in, let it run over you like a river, song for an, open your eyes, listen with intent, see that your perspective isn’t the only one that matters, Tuesday.
