Musical theater can enthrall our senses, captivate our hearts, and transport us to magical worlds. It can also offer profound and moving insights about intrapsychic states, the intricacies of human relationships, and the effects of our social surround on the human condition. By recounting his lifelong love of musicals, particularly the works of Stephen Sondheim and Lin-Manuel Miranda, the author describes how such deeply stirring and thought-provoking musical theater moments have enriched his psychoanalytic understanding of his patients’ and his own life journeys
