Manila-born singer-actress Julia Abueva got to tick off an item on her wish list when she met composer-actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creative force behind the play “Hamilton” and the movie “Moana,” backstage after a performance of her current musical, “KPOP,” on Broadway. Abueva, who is one of the lead stars of “KPOP,” told the Inquirer: “Lin-Manuel watched our show tonight. I have absolutely no words to describe how I feel. I am in awe of this living legend. Dream come true.”—BAYANI SAN DIEGO JR.
