This PSG Liverpool match is exhausting!

Two things:

Alisson for Man of the Match

This entire touring cast is fantastic... Really liked Chastity Crisp as Angelica Schuyler but totally stealing the show every time he's on stage was Billy Nevers as Aaron Burr... What an amazing voice and presence... Can't believe he's only 22!
