You are undoubtedly already aware of the much celebrated and successful musical, HAMILTON. In fact, you’re probably already aware of its hiphop roots from famed composer and lyricists Lin-Manuel Miranda. However, If you aren’t already familiarized yourself with In The Heights or the music coming out of this instrumental, Broadway-changing show, then now is the time to hear it. HAMILTON has arrived in Costa Mesa at Segerstrom Center for the Arts and there are no more excuses to miss it! Not only does Lin-Manuel’s lyrical harmonies inspire us to improve upon our current political climate, but it also motivates our nation to improve inclusion.
HAMILTON raps and rhymes its way through its entire, nearly 3-hour long, running time (intermission included) and never skips a beat. There is no lag, no slowness. The shows opens with its strong preface, “Alexander Hamilton”, and is quickly followed by a chain of already incredibly popular numbers including the “Arron Burr, Sir” introduction that leads to the infamous “My Shot” epic crescendo. By song number 4 the audience already feels they are deeply engulfed in this world.
The audience, already bobbing their heads to hiphop beats are introduced to “The Schuyler Sisters” with a mash-able mix of late ‘80s rap and early ‘90s guitar riffs with the beautiful soft voices of Eliza, Angelica… and Peggy. Songs will continue through a dynamic range of styles firmly based around story-filled lyrics providing a history lesson like no other.
Boy do I ever wish I had this type of entertainment as a child. I think I would have learned, if not at least be more interested in American history. But, HAMILTON is not about the history we have alway been told. Instead, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s story focuses around a founding forefather that is never talked about, unless you’re counting a Got Milk commercial from the 90s.
There is no missing a word in HAMILTON. These rap-based poetic songs and the more musically grounded numbers will have your ears perked up like never before. Telling its story through rhythmic rhyming and catchy tunes, HAMILTON will have you intently listening to every word that rolls off the tongues of these talented individuals.
Joseph Morales plays Alexander Hamilton and is straight from the original Chicago HAMILTON company. Morales perfectly resembles Lin-Manuel’s original performance without feeling like he’s just an imitation. Marcus Choi plays a strong George Washington and makes a perfect MC during the shows rap battles. The Schuyler sisters had perfect vocal range. But when it all comes down to it, two people steal the show. Kyle Scatliffe played the roles of Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in our performance, and was just… EVERYTHING. Flamboyantly perfect as both. He would make for an excellent Lola in Kinky Boots. The other showstopper and deserving of his own ovation would be King George himself. With only a few numbers, Jon Patrick Walkers portrayal was unforgettable and hilarious. I could see a one-man show with Walkers.
There are countless other mentionable performances, but I would rather emphasize all players were as good as anyone could ask for. All extremely talented, fitting their part well and matching perfectly to the Broadway cast recordings that I assume many have already listened to countless times. Those who know the music and attend should feel fortunate just to be in the presence of such a momentous and important show.
This isn’t a show that has gained popularity just because it has great music or stellar performances, but rather because of the story it tells. A forgotten story told in such a uniquely original way that allows the audience to forget the ethnicities that are purposely different than their non-fictional counterpart. The purpose is to perhaps not forget that Hamilton is played by Puerto Rican, Thomas Jefferson is played by a black man, or that George Washington is Asian; instead that these immigrants are just as vital to the creation of our nation as our white founding forefathers. Above all else, breaking down these barriers and the removal of the “big wigs” allows the story to feel more relatable, even more palatable.
HAMILTON encourages positive change and reminds us to re-tell the important stories from our past to ultimately help us understand where we came from and how we can move toward a better tomorrow. Oh, and the stage is cool too.
Despite popular belief, at the time I am writing this, there are still some select seats available through Segerstrom! For more info, visit scfta.org.

Taking mom out for brunch or dinner is a traditional way to celebrate her on Mother’s Day. But there’s another way that incorporates food, and it can be fun for the family as well as food for thought for the kids.
In other words, when you involve the children in the meal preparation on Mother’s Day, it might lead to a lifelong interest in cooking. The idea, says a chef to the celebrities, is to ingrain healthy nutritional habits and other life skills through involving the kids more in the kitchen.
“Giving mom a nice day by preparing a tasty recipe, and the kids having fun doing it, is a great gift for both the children and mother,” says Zipora Einav (www.chefzipora.com), author of Recipe for a Delicious Life. “It may even mark the beginning of an interest in cooking, along with all the benefits of learning to eat healthy and do things for others.
“It’s helpful to their self-sufficiency and self-confidence. They’ll become well-versed in how to help their future family eat healthy and have fun making meals together, because the heart of a family is in the kitchen. And a lot of families are so busy these days, they don’t spend enough time in there together or at the kitchen table.”
Chef Zipora offers a tasty recipe for Mother’s Day that the kids can have fun preparing and serving.

To celebrate the new movie, DEADPOOL 2, in theaters May 18, everyone’s favorite Merc with a mouth, has made his mark at 7-Eleven® stores nationwide. 7-Eleven has launched exclusive Deadpool themed products, sweepstakes promotions, and its first ever augmented reality (AR) in-store experience that literally brings Deadpool into the store, exciting fans with new surprise activities each week. All AR activities can be accessed through the 7-Eleven mobile app.
In 2016, the original Deadpool movie from 20th Century Fox broke multiple box office records, including the biggest opening weekend ever for an R-rated movie. Ryan Reynolds is back as the smack-talking Marvel anti-hero in the much-anticipated second coming.
Coast to coast, inside and out, participating locations are blanketed with messages, doodles, and thoughtful musings from everyone’s favorite hero.
“We are bringing an unprecedented level of excitement to 7-Eleven this summer. Our customers love Deadpool, and our collaboration includes exclusive products and an amazing in-store augmented reality experience that is among the first of its kind at any retailer,” said Sean Thompson, 7-Eleven senior vice president and chief customer officer.
“Deadpool fans can come to our stores and find fun collectibles and different augmented reality experiences unlocked each week through our app,” he added. “We hope people will play along with us – virtually and in real life – and share their experiences with friends and family on social media.”
Exclusive Deadpool-branded items from collectible Slurpee® cups and straws to chimichangas, Monster Mutant bottled energy drinks, Mike’s Harder Watermelon Lemonade and Trolli Sour Brite Tiny Hands candy can be found at participating stores.
“To make this even more exciting, 7-Eleven is launching an Augmented Reality (AR) gaming experience, first of its kind in retail, with Deadpool,” said Gurmeet Singh, Chief Digital and Chief Information Officer. “Fans can interact with Deadpool and have fun experiences in the 7-Eleven app, unlocking different experiences each week exclusively in the stores nationwide and in Canada. The fans will also be able to share their interactions with Deadpool inside a 7-Eleven store with family and friends. We think Deadpool fans will love seeing him come to life in our stores.”
By scanning the 7-Eleven app at checkout, customers can earn 7Rewards® loyalty program points and enter a contest for a chance to win prizes such as movie tickets, a trip to Las Vegas and more. But the biggest news is the in-store AR that invites Deadpool fans to engage in fun virtual activities (new ones each week) to earn 7Rewards bonus points.
While Deadpool evokes “maximum effort” to fight the bad guys in the movie, jumping into the Deadpool AR experience at 7-Eleven stores is easy. All it takes is the 7-Eleven app.
Here’s how it works:
Tap: Tap the camera icon on the home screen of the 7-Eleven app, and Deadpool appears to guide fans through the experience.
Selfie: Take a selfie and watch the mad scribbler take over with his red marker.
Seek: Here a zapcode, there a zapcode. Scannable codes throughout the store unlock new activities and 7Rewards bonus points. The fun changes every week so fans are invited to visit often. One never knows where Deadpool will pop up. Literally. Once unlocked, an experience can be accessed later, even after leaving the store.
“Deadpool definitely left an impression at their stores,” said Zachary Eller, executive vice president of Marketing Partnerships at 20th Century Fox. “Great to see that 7-Eleven has truly embraced the ‘creative genius’ that is Deadpool with this program.”
Here is the Deadpool 2 product mashup:
Monster makes a comeback at the Slurpee machine with Mutant Red Dawn flavor. This is the first time in a decade that a Monster energy drink flavor will make a splash on the Slurpee machine. Monster Mutant Red Dawn Slurpee drinks – say that five times fast.
Cups! Five collectible cups, each with Deadpool striking a different pose along with a colorful comment. A different cup will be released each week and can be used for both Slurpee and Big Gulp® drinks.
Suck on this. Nothing completes a Monster Mutant Red Dawn Slurpee in a Deadpool cup than straws with tiny Deadpools climbing up the side.
Chimichangas! Deadpool says he loves saying chimichanga in multiple languages. 7-Eleven has delicious chimichangas that people will love in every language – and two sizes for all size appetites. Look for mini chimis in the hot foods case and Deadpool on the package of larger 7-Select™ Chimichangas in the cold case. Available in two varieties, chicken or steak and black bean, the 7-Select Chimichanga has a special limited time offer – two for $2.50. Regular price is $1.99.
Deadpool drinks. Look! He’s in the vault on bottles and cans! Monster Mutant energy drink and Mike’s Harder Watermelon Lemonade also get in on the Deadpool 2 action with limited-time packaging.

Ahead of the highly-anticipated release of Disney•Pixar’s Incredibles 2 on June 15, Alaska Airlines unveiled a special-edition plane, featuring moviegoers’ favorite family of “Supers.” The Incredibles 2-themed plane, Alaska’s first Disney•Pixar film livery, was unveiled to a crowd of more than 2,000 cheering students during Aviation Day at the airlines’ Seattle hangar.
“This plane will delight guests of all ages from San Francisco to New York and beyond,” said Natalie Bowman, Alaska Airlines’ managing director of brand marketing and advertising. “Like all of us at Alaska Airlines, many of our guests have anxiously awaited Incredibles 2. We’re honored to take this incredible family to new heights and share the imagery with travelers across our expansive route network.”
Decked out in their Incredible super suits, the Parr family—Bob, Helen, Violet, Dash and baby Jack-Jack—spans the fuselage. Guests boarding the Incredibles 2 plane will see a logo when they board. An image of the raccoon from the film, Jack-Jack’s nemesis, will delight guests seated over the wings.
“These characters are among the most celebrated characters in the Pixar family,” said Incredibles 2producers Nicole Grindle and John Walker. “After waiting 14 years to see them on the big screen again, fans will love seeing them on their Alaska Airlines plane, too.”
The unique design is a collaboration between Disney•Pixar and Alaska Airlines. The Incredibles 2-themed 737-800, tail number N519AS, begins flying throughout Alaska’s route network Sunday. With a cruising speed of 530 mph and sporting larger-than-life images of the “Supers,” the plane will visit fans throughout the country via transcontinental routes and flights to Hawaii.

A new and exciting update is coming to Star Wars: Jedi Challenges, as fans can clash against each other in epic lightsaber battles. The new expansion is for the smartphone powered AR experience from Lenovo. Titled Versus Mode, this is the second update since the product launched last November. The Star Wars: Jedi Challenges app, which is free to download on the App Store® and Google Play™.
This is a product first, as the original version was a single player mode that allowed you to face off against Kylo Ren and Darth Vader. “Innovating and iterating based on customer feedback is a big part of what makes Lenovo products different and better,” states Jeff Meredith, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Lenovo Consumer PCs and Smart Devices. “One of the most popular fan requests since the launch of Star Wars: Jedi Challenges is to enable 1-on-1 local multiplayer mode for fans to duel one another in lightsaber battles. We’re excited to continue collaborating with Disney to fulfill fans’ wishes by testing the frontiers of augmented reality. The introduction of the Lightsaber Versus Mode is another step in our journey to offering consumers one-of-a-kind, immersive experiences made possible by AR.”
In Lightsaber Versus Mode, players are guided by visual cues indicating when and where to block, dodge, and strike. When the fight is underway, the battle difficulty will increase until one player comes out on top. As long as the app is fully updated and the same wifi connection is used, you are able to face off and let the battle commence.
“Our goal here is to extend Star Wars experiences in completely new and different ways for fans — Star Wars: Jedi Challenges does exactly that,” said Kyle Laughlin, Senior Vice President, Games and Interactive Experiences, Disney Parks, Experiences & Consumer Products. “The product’s global success has encouraged us to give players even more authentic Star Wars moments, and we look forward to continuing to improve and expand the gameplay.”
This will join the previous expansion, which features duels against two Praetorian Guards and three levels of Strategic Combat on Crait.
