Has anyone watched this yet? It's streaming free for the next two weeks and looks like it could be powerful and good, but figured I'd check here first.

From Here is a new musical by Donald Rupe, with arrangements and orchestrations by Jason M. Bailey.

The story follows Daniel (Blake Aburn), a thirty-something gay man on a journey to find love and fulfillment amid a breakdown in his relationship with his mother. Born and raised in Orlando, Daniel is surrounded by a loving community of friends, and the musical also explores what life was like as a gay man in Orlando during the tragic shooting at Pulse nightclub in 2016.

From Here premiered at the 2019 Orlando Fringe Festival to enthusiastic crowds and rave reviews, and an expanded full-length version opened at the CFCArts Black Box Theatre in February 2020.

Watched the first 10 minutes. I have to travel today so downloaded it on my laptop to finish watching. Interested in seeing the rest.
