Casey sighed. "Remember how we logged that the system was acting a bit slow and funky during both parts of 'All I Ask of You' last night?"
Valentina nodded. "A minor bug that needs recalibrating, yes. And?" she muttered through gritted teeth. 
"And, get this - downstage cable B isn't releasing on cue." 
This day couldn't get any worse. 

____

As a stage manager, all Valentina Morgan wants to do is have a normal day at work - no whining actors, no crazy audience members, no technical malfunctions. After an awful night's sleep and an even more awful morning, she just wants to go through the motions without any issues. 

But when you work on Broadway, there's a fat chance that'll happen.

Broadway Blue by writerwords9
28 parts Complete Mature
"Blue was immediately in awe, the cadence of each syllable dripping with wit and power. As he performed, something changed in Gael. The normally charming and confident guy became something else, blindingly brilliant and dauntless. He was a worthy opponent to the difficult words he was spouting, letting them flow in a way that almost hurt Blue's brain trying to keep up. He spoke so clearly to make sure every single morsel was able to be digested, which only impressed everyone further. Then he began to sing. His voice rang out to continue the verse in a slow and methodical melody. As he slowed down, his eyes caught Blue's just for a second, then he looked away again. She felt almost embarrassed, as though she had walked in on a private moment between him and the lyrics." * * * * * A costume designer named Blue has been working on Broadway for years, but this show is the first one that has the magic to really make an impact on the theater world forever. The creator of the show is a smooth flirt that fills her with an unexpected passion and changes her life forever, both professionally and privately. As she embarks on this creative journey with him, she never would have expected where it would lead her. * * * * * (Note: This originally started as a Hamilton fanfic, but I changed everything around and made it stand on its own :) so if you're into Hamilton fanfic but are looking for something different, like I was, then hopefully you'll like this story! The male lead is based on Lin-Manuel Miranda and the show is based on Hamilton - the female lead is an original character. See if you can spot all the Hamilton references throughout!)

Ronica Casinova, or as she prefers Roni, just got out of college. Exciting huh? Well for her, she is beyond happy. She can't believe it is finally time for her to start her life with the career of a life time. Which is event planning. It was what she wanted to ever since she was a little girl. Mainly because that is what her older brother, Drake, would have wanted for her. With no love life of her own, she figured it would be easy to focus on her career planned ahead. She had decided during her college years that she would wait a few years to get into her working habit until she had a real boyfriend. It worked out for the first couple of months until she had a call from her family. She vaguely could hear her mother speak after a few short words though. ''Ronica, could you please come home? Calla had just got engaged to Sam!'' Sam being Roni's all time best friend since freshmen year at high school. She couldn't believe the words that her mother spoke to her. Why hadn't Sam told her before? And most of all, why did her younger sister have to be engaged and getting married before her? Was that enough for Roni to change her mind about the relationship status? Considering Calla, her younger sister, hadn't thought twice about the situation. Heck, if Roni's mother hadn't called, Roni would have never even knew. That comes to collusion, why didn't Sam tell her about any of this? And even though she knew she was falling for her co-worker, she wondered if she should change her mind about not being in a relationship for a long while.

I hated waiting. It was especially challenging standing carefully to make sure I didn't break my heel before the appointed time. Ugh setting up a meet cute like this seemed so stupid. If all I had to do was seduce the mark, why did we have to go through all this extra effort? But the powers that be said our mark had a real romantic streak and was currently heartbroken over his highschool sweetheart cheating on him with a new business contact, before both skipped the country, seemingly to elope. I watched the crowd walking past me as I stood in the shade of a closed store alcove, the walls giving me something lean against making sure I didn't step on the unstable heel accidentally. Stupid Americans, everyone looked like they were in such a hurry to go buy more things they didn't need. Hair and makeup took two hours yesterday and just as long today. I did not want to have to sit through that again. Plus being stuck in a third girly demure dress for another day might be enough to finally kill me. It might not have all been so bad if I could have chatted with someone while my hair was pulled and burned and styled, and creams and potions layered on my face and eyes. But all of the salon girls were owned by the powers that be, and none spoke any of the languages I could. I suspected that it wasn't an accident. I felt my phone vibrate with an alarm. Show time. I started walking down the sidewalk. It would have been a beautiful day for a walk if I wasn't so focused on my mission, and trying to only walk on my toes with my right foot. The town car pulled up to the curb just ahead of me, coming to a stop in front of the quaint little shop. The timing was working out perfectly. Just a couple more steps. I watched as the rear door of the passenger side opened, I moved to step around the now open car door just as a set of long legs in navy slacks swung out from the car. 3...2...1...

"Okay, how about this? One musical equals one secret of yours." "That means you have to listen to a load of songs, about twenty five, just for one of my secrets." "Is that bad?" "It depends. Are you able to sit through heartbreak, trama, suicides and basically anything that can go wrong to a human being?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He wasn't supposed to drunk call her. But he did. She wasn't supposed to pick up. But she did. What happened after that was a chaotic event called, "Christopher-drunk-sang-showtunes-and-regular-songs-for-no-apparent-reason." And then you can basically see how and where Christopher messed up.... [EXTENDED SUMMARY INSIDE] [Simply Beautiful Cover by @franciasaleatoire!]
