It’s been a very good day for you, musical nerds who are not satisfied with merely dominating the stage. First Sterling K. Brown was set to star in Waves, “a musical almost entirely synchronized to music,†for A24. Now, Josh Safran’s romantic musical series Mixtape gets a ten-episode order from Netflix.
