I remember walking in that rehearsal room for the first time, never having rehearsed a musical ever in my life, and there's Lac sitting at a piano and you and Anika Noni Rose are in the room just warming up.
0:09
And I was like, "I'm, but I don't know what..."
0:09
Lin-Manuel Miranda.
0:09
My name is Thomas Kail.
0:09
I'm Daveed Diggs.
0:09
Christopher Jackson.
0:09
I'm Renée Elise Goldsberry.
0:09
I'm Leslie Odom Jr.
0:09
I'm Jasmine Cephas Jones.
0:09
My name is Okieriete Onaodowan, Murray.
0:09
Rebecca, what are some of your favorite backstage moments from Hamilton?
0:09
My man, it's a lot.
0:09
My favorite backstage moments are always sort of moments of connection that the audience doesn't see.
0:09
The wig moment was my favorite.
0:09
The wig moment is hands down one of the best moments of my life.
0:09
Anthony had to wear a wig because he had cut his hair and he had this wonderfully hilarious wig.
0:09
It was Renée's wig.
0:09
I wasn't trying to do him dirty like that.
0:09
It was Renée's.
0:09
Yes, it was Renée's wig from Off-Broadway and just fluffed it up anyway, like, 'Y'all put that on your head.'
0:09
Until you did.
0:09
No one knew.
0:09
I didn't see it until I got on stage and then I was like, "What's happening?"
0:09
He just laughed hysterically.
0:09
I had so much fun.
0:09
Our stage manager came out of the shadows and I'm talking like she's like, "Get it together."
0:09
One of my favorite moments is with you, Leslie.
1:38
At one time we would start up yachting, we would, you would with me.
1:42
I would just have these like improv scouting sessions.
1:50
Oh, get me through it.
1:50
Got those were beautiful and rough months at the Public Theater.
1:55
Yeah, we wasn't making no money.
1:56
You know, things start to grow.
1:56
One of my favorite moments backstage always was in "The Room Where It Happens."
2:04
There was a moment where Daveed and I were both off stage, stage left, and we would freestyle together just until the moment where he had to emerge as Jefferson.
2:02
And we would always just fit in at least two or four bars and it was our little moment of connection at a moment when our characters are as adversarial as they could be.
2:20
I kind of walked around mad all the time because George Washington was kind of mad.
2:23
Because Chris was in angry mode all the time.
2:27
Here's Chris and Anthony Ramos just going at it, just like backstage like going at it, just like screaming matches.
2:36
If I never hear Anthony Ramos.
2:39
I know he's thinking it.
2:40
Chris, would you just stop talking?
2:40
I'm over here talking to Daveed.
2:51
I don't, I didn't ask you for your opinion.
2:51
Max, you for your opinion.
2:51
I didn't ask you.
2:51
@underscorelove_39, what was the most surprising thing when you read Hamilton's script for the first time?
3:07
Ask Leslie.
3:07
I see first thing I did was I saw the very first reading of the Hamilton mixtape in Poughkeepsie, New York.
3:35
I saw the first reading in a 99-seat black box theater.
3:35
I saw the most, the boldest, freshest, most literate, exciting piece of theater I'd ever been given the gift of seeing that early.
3:35
I'll tell you the song that I left, that left the biggest impression on me was not a song you might expect.
3:35
It was "The Story of Tonight."
3:35
As a fan of the theater, as just as a casual fan of the theater, of the genre, of this form, I had never in my life you see seen four men of color on a stage singing together about friendship and brotherhood in my life.
3:54
And so to me that was the revolution.
4:04
The image of that packed such power that I committed in that moment to like being the first Hamilton fan that there was.
4:00
I was, I was gonna bring everybody in my life to see this thing because it was worthy.
4:12
This is a question from Sam Middleton via Twitter and he is @I'm_Spammin_At_Women.
4:20
Lin-Manuel, if you had finished writing #Hamilton after reviewing events that have unfolded in the U.S. in 2020 so far, would you have written it any differently?
4:20
Any guess in how it may differ?
4:20
That's a fantastic question.
4:20
One of the sort of great surprises of Hamilton is that it doesn't change.
4:20
We haven't changed the text of this show since 2015 and yet it feels like it changes because the world around it changes so fast.
4:43
Things that popped out when Obama was president may not be the things that get a reaction when Trump is president.
4:49
"Immigrants, we get the job done" certainly gets a different reaction.
4:54
If there's anything political about the show Hamilton, its thesis is everything good or bad that was present at the founding, at the roots of this, the birth of this country, are still present.
5:08
The fights we had then are the fights we are having now.
5:11
Conversations we're having about systemic racism and abuse and police brutality and about revolution, those are all still present.
5:21
I'm gratified and humbled when I see lyrics from the show at Black Lives Matter protests, but because we are dealing with the origins of this country and how it's based on ideals that we fell short of the moment we wrote them down, I'm well aware every single one of these characters, even though they sing songs you love, are complicit in the original sin of slavery, whose legacies are still being felt to this day.
5:53
The lyrics about that in the show, I think, hit differently in this conversation than they may have in 2017, 2016, or 2015.
6:05
I think one of the biggest themes of the show is you don't get to control how you're remembered.
6:05
You don't get to control how you're remembered or who survives you, and the show doesn't escape that fate either.
6:05
And so different things within it will rise or fall based on where we are at.
6:05
Reel T-Bone Gaming asks, "I have a question about Hamilton: when you're laughing at singing, 'Samuel,' did you sing with a French accent?"
6:05
Yes.
6:05
Yes, to the degree that I did anything actually with a French accent, but my best approximation, yes.
6:05
If you know the real reason is, is because anything I can do to act through singing is, is gonna be helpful for me because I am so uncomfortable singing.
6:05
At least Lacamoire gave me a note one time that was to stop worrying about the singing and just act with the right pitch.
6:58
As soon as he said that, I did everything from there on out with the French accent.
7:09
This is a question via Twitter from Kristin Quinsaw @HamiltonMusic, when Chicago, and can't help but wonder what happened to Peggy Schuyler.
7:12
Surely @Lin_Manuel, are you on Twitter? She's planning a sequel, Hamilton 2: Peggy's Revenge.
7:21
#You know you wondered the same thing.
7:32
#What happened to Peggy?
7:39
#To Mrs. Lynn, you're all over this thing.
7:39
I am not planning a sequel to Hamilton.
7:39
I don't know on Earth how I could follow that up.
7:39
It's good that you wonder what happened to Peggy.
7:33
She doesn't continue in our story into the second act because sadly Peggy didn't live that long.
7:44
The broad outline of Peggy's story is she married a very rich young man and died pretty young.
7:44
And as you can tell with Hamilton, we have so little time to tell a lot of story, and so if you don't survive the act, you're not getting to go to the second act.
7:57
We're keenly aware that we only have a limited amount of time with you in our theater, and so things that happen are things like you don't find out where Peggy ended up, but it's just a Google click away.
8:16
And Taryn Stickrath, yeah, sometimes I think about the OG cast members of Hamilton like, how did they even get involved?
8:18
Talk about a cultural reset.
8:21
How did we get involved?
8:21
From all different angles.
8:24
I think it's a long and winding path to how we find ourselves in these positions.
8:35
I think Lynn and Tommy came to see me in Natasha, Pierre, which was my first gig out of drama school, and I did a reading of Act 2 that Tommy asked me to be a part of, and I met Bob, Ethan, I met Leslie then.
8:30
I auditioned as well, and I do a live audition a lot and I don't get most of the jobs I auditioned for to this day.
8:58
You get what you're supposed to have, so I hope people realize that and remember, you know, you keep showing up and know that if you're, you know, if you stay prayerful that which is yours will be called to you.
10:27
Kind of get an amen.
10:27
Amen.
10:27
I was one of the last people to get cast.
10:27
I didn't do the workshop.
10:27
I did theater before, I was very involved with the theater world, but not the musical theater world, so it was a very like new new process to to enter and I was kind of one of the the new kids at school, so I was like extremely nervous our first day of rehearsal.
10:27
My involvement with Hamilton came through my involvement with Freestyle Love Supreme.
10:27
Freestyle Love Supreme is a hip hop improv comedy theatrical experience.
10:27
We are kind of like a jazz band using jazz and hip-hop and R&B and just whatever form comes to mind.
10:27
Man, I am only in Freestyle Love Supreme because due to a clerical error I was substitute teaching the same class with Anthony Venencially, our friend Anthony, who was one of the founders of Freestyle Love Supreme.
10:27
So we met teaching kids, substitute teaching kids, which is just making sure kids don't die.
10:27
Wow, you're yeah, which is a scary prospect that you and Anthony were substituting.
10:23
Yeah, yeah.
10:27
And we were doing a show in New Orleans when I found out about the existence of Hamilton.
10:32
We were doing a freestyle show and Tommy was like, "Hey, Lin is writing this rap musical about Alexander Hamilton."
10:40
I was like, "That's a terrible idea."
10:42
And he said, "You want to do it?"
10:42
And I said, "Are you gonna pay me?"
10:45
And he said, "Yeah."
10:47
I said, "Yeah."
10:47
Yeah.
10:47
As far as culture resets is concerned, time will tell us.
10:57
@advodude, how many other Hamiltons have you seen perform and do they intentionally cast them to sound like you?
10:57
I saw it in Denver and if I closed my eyes, I would have thought it was you on stage.
11:04
Tommy, do you want to speak to your ethos when it comes to casting subsequent Hamiltons and other cast members?
11:12
We cast Hamilton looking for essential qualities, not as any sort of replication process.
11:22
Lin played Hamilton in the way that he played Hamilton, just like Michael Luwoye played Hamilton the way that he did or Miguel Cervantes or Jimmie Herrod, Joseph Morales and on and on and on.
11:27
So the idea is to try to make sure that each cast member in every role is able to bring all that they are and find out where that intersects with the character, but that's the only thing that guides us.
11:45
This question is from @man_darla, what was the most difficult part of the rehearsal process for Hamilton?
11:47
All of it.
11:51
Learning "Helpless" and "Satisfied" right about sit down on a turntable on a moving floor.
11:56
There's a big part of the show where the floor moves and it's in a circle.
12:02
We learned "Helpless" and then they said, "Oh, can you do what you just did in that last song but backwards in this next one?"
12:11
And we would like, "Excuse me?"
12:11
It like my brain hurt.
12:14
When I tell you that my brain hurt for weeks, it messed this up on twofold.
12:24
Because the first time we did it, we didn't have a turntable, remember that?
12:24
And then we got to the theater and then got the turntable, right?
12:28
So we figured it out without the spinning thing and then we get to the spinning thing and it's like, why are you doing this to us?
12:32
After that first day on the turntable, I literally felt like I had been on a treadmill for like 24 hours and every time I took a step, I just felt like I was moving.
12:44
I used to be so emotional through the number of "Satisfied."
12:50
It was always really hard for me to sing the end trying to figure out how I could kind of ride the waves of the emotion and I think just in general like I kind of so flabbergasted, I was just kind of so dumbfounded by so many of the moments that were happening.
13:05
It was always hard to come in afterwards and both him especially we had to sing after somebody died.
13:11
I really want to do that number again now.
13:13
Like I want us all to go together right now.
13:15
No prep, no rehearsal, no refreshing.
13:17
You can be by yourself on that one, brother.
13:19
For you.
13:24
Okay.
13:24
I'll be like this for my popcorn.
13:28
It's the most frightened I've ever been in a theater for me.
13:28
I, I was sort of like the last principal to join so when we started rehearsals, I felt like I didn't have a clue as to what was happening.
13:40
When we were Off-Broadway, I had I had little blocking sheets posted at every entrance and exit and like three downstairs so every time I'd come off stage, I would frantically look at a list like every time I moved through the theater, through the pass through underneath to make sure that I was going to the right side of the theater if I had, you know, it constantly asked folks like Davi, Davi, am I in the right spot?
13:40
Because I really don't know.
13:40
Definitely the know he was really hot.
13:40
Desperation makes you do a lot of crazy things.
13:40
Our next question is from Sarah Lichtblau, hashtag @exactly the same name, good for you for using your own name.
13:40
Hamilton question that I need the answer to, all caps for need.
13:40
What does Eliza's gasp at the end of the musical mean?
13:40
Please answer.
13:40
I wish I could give you a simple answer, but that's that would be like telling you where Godot has been the whole time.
13:40
They're waiting for Godot.
13:40
I think it's different for each Eliza.
13:40
I've had different conversations.
13:40
It's heart-stopping, isn't it?
13:40
And I do think that it traverses time in some way, whether that that thing she's seeing is Hamilton, whether that thing she's seeing is heaven, whether that thing she's seeing is the world now, I think those are all valid and all fair.
13:40
I do think she is seen across a span of time in that moment.
13:40
Tell me what do you think?
13:40
You staged it.
13:40
Again, that conversation which is distinct with each Eliza as I'm answering the question because I'm not going to because I feel like that is actually between Eliza and Eliza.
13:40
It just was something that that came out of a very natural organic process in rehearsal and in performance and Lynn was one of our greatest advocates for that for that moment existing and it's a testament to Lynn and the generosity of spirit that that's not written in the script.
13:40
The show ends with the final lyric that that he has written and the final notes and yet he had the understanding that there maybe was another moment that could extend beyond that.
13:40
It's something that a lot of folks talk about and I'm happy that there's a there's a dot dot dot at the end of our show as opposed to some sort of definitive state.
13:40
#Not an answer from a cat Chester, I think is how that's pronounced or higher or anyway, you know, you know who you are.
13:40
How does the Hamilton cast perform that show every night without crying because I cried like five times just watching today?
13:40
I'm just curious, please let me know.
13:40
We do grind up.
13:40
I cried almost every night.
13:40
I cried during "Quiet Uptown" pretty much every night.
13:40
I remember the first time I heard "Quiet Uptown," I was like a mess and then it like we kept being a mess and then after a while, I don't mean to ruin anything, but then it's it's work, you know.
13:40
We just we go to work, we do the show, we enjoy it.
13:40
Play moves you.
13:40
You got no there's no time for pauses or really the thing moves so you have to move with it.
13:40
You have to keep up with it.
13:40
When you do a show as a theater actor over a long period of time, it's beautiful to see how that show changes.
13:40
Two things, you hear the things that move you, things that motivate you.
13:40
Please God, let there be a tear.
13:40
Naomi President or Lives up at BFA, 'Ytho after seeing the show, my biggest question is, how does that Hamilton cast have time to snap that / suite / make videos during the show?'
13:40
#All caps, all caps, all caps.
13:40
I don't mean to spoil the Broadway experience, but if you ever ever wonder what people are doing backstage, they are texting their friends back.
13:40
They are making business calls between scenes.
13:40
I'm going to get for dinner.
13:40
If the show is about to end and they know that the order is going to take about 36 to 45 minutes to get to their home and they will be home in 30, they know that this particular song, I'm going to make my dinner order on stage.
13:40
Some people I know, some people, Oak, who had no problem having their phones on stage.
13:40
Oh, you won't even know it, but they're going through the grocery lists while they're like straight up all that stuff.
13:40
It's like before I started the show, I think Philip Sue put me on Instagram and when grabbed my phone one day and put me on Twitter.
13:40
Fortunately, with Hamilton, you know, the leader, Lynn, he really, I, I just used to joke, he texts the world, that's what he does with Twitter.
13:40
He texts the world.
13:40
He's in a constant conversation with the world and so he really he really, you know, he's a very interesting genius and that he he's extroverted in that way, he feeds off of that energy and so we were really encouraged in a unique way just and we needed to because we were desperately trying to find a way to give people access to the show.
13:40
So the way that we made it not exclusive, because we hated the exclusivity of it, was to use social media to share as much of the show as we possibly could with as many people as possible.
13:40
@Ball_Speak_Folk_Sense to say, "Noted, does 'This from Hamilton' belong on a sexy playlist?"
13:40
What's the debate?
13:40
I mean, yes, deny that like bass that comes in and no, the way that Lin wrote it, it's like a slow down kind of like R&B jam.
13:40
I loved singing that song because it was such a jam, it was such a jam, so yeah, why not?
13:40
Back Chris Geiger, "Okay, serious Hamilton question, can 'Dear Theodosia' be just an incredibly loving sweet song or do we have to think about their fates?"
13:40
I never think about their fates in that moment.
13:40
I'm always thinking about their motivation and now when I watch the movie, I'm thinking about the fact that these two young men at each had a daughter and another son.
13:40
There's no better answer than that.
13:40
I will say that watching the movie gave me probably, you know, one of the most special memories to me of that time that I hadn't thought about a long time because I'd never seen it.
13:40
I remember the 52nd Street Project, that was one of the early workshops that we did of the show when we were just putting the whole thing up for the first time.
13:40
There was no lights or anything like that.
13:40
It could be.
13:40
So in "Dear Theodosia" now the way it's staged, the light goes down on Burr and the light comes up on Hamilton when it's his section, you know.
13:40
And at 22nd Street, I had to figure out what am I going to do literally because I'm here on stage.
13:40
And so what am I gonna do while Lin sings?
13:40
We're not in the same space and I bowed my head one day and I was like, "Oh, he can pray."
13:40
Bernie can pray, Burke can pray for his daughter and I didn't have any kids yet but I I was able to find the connection with it because I said, "I believe my daughter can hear me somewhere."
13:40
She's not here yet.
13:40
She's not yet, but I'm singing to her still.
13:40
And so I said by the end of that show I had said over 500 prayers for my for my little girl before she ever got here.
13:40
And you see that on this in this movie, I had never seen it before.
13:40
You I bow my head and I say a prayer for my little girl.
13:40
Thank you for joining us for tech support.
13:40
Thank you for you incredible questions.
13:40
Thank you guys so much for always supporting us since day one, keeping us honest, keeping us inspired, always showing your love for the show and being a part of this family.
13:40
Thank you for introducing me to Twitter.
13:40
Didn't know I could tweet.
13:40
Thank you guys for sending your questions.
13:40
I can't wait for you to see this movie.
13:40
I just got a chance to see it.
13:40
Hamilton, July 3rd.
13:40
It's on Disney Plus.
13:40
It's it's streaming in your living room, however you want to watch it.
13:40
Hopefully you'll feel even more inside of this family than you already do.
13:40
I'm really excited to hear from people on places such as Twitter their experience watching the film.
13:40
Make art.
13:40
Let's use this to fuel us.
13:40
Make sure that they're registered to vote and their friends are registered to vote and that they if they are of age to participate in the upcoming elections because it's very important not only for the world at large, but also for yourself in in our current climate today after we've all watched George Floyd murdered for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
13:40
I think it's very very important for people who are seeing that, especially young, all that they love, the younger people who are watching it, the importance of utilizing your voice in the way that Pippa said, registering the vote.
13:40
Hamilton's platform was he kept he wasn't just yelling it in the streets, he then went home and like drafted, he drafted how he thought the country should change.
13:40
He not only pointed out what was wrong with it, but he went home, he said, "This is what I think is wrong with it, this is how I think we can change it," and then he went out and shouted for everyone here.
13:40
And I think that is a message that every human being, regardless of your race, needs to do right now.
13:40
That's what's up.
13:40
Same love, y'all.
13:40
Thanks for being us with us on this journey.
13:40
