A “delightfully wit-laced evening of comedy rap for a wide range of ages” (The Washington Post).

HAMILTON COMPOSER: Lin-Manuel Miranda LYRICIST: Lin-Manuel Miranda BOOK: Lin-Manuel Miranda DIRECTOR: Thomas Kail CHOREOGRAPHER: Andy Blankenbuehler  PRINCIPLE CAST: Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Leslie Odom Jr. (Burr), Phillipa Soo (Eliza) OPENING DATE: August 6th, 2015 CLOSING DATE: Still Playing as of this writing PERFORMANCES: +1900 SYNOPSIS: The life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton is explored from his immigration to the United States through his murder by political rival Aaron Burr.  W. Jerome Stevenson argues Hamilton's significance as a twenty-first century musical which was able to maintain mass appeal to the public amid a flurry of tourist-oriented Broadway productions. Hamilton's original score and historical storyline update the structure of a traditional book musical by fusing the narrative with rap and hip hop and reimagining white figures as people of color. The Lin Manuel Miranda, Thomas Kail, and Andy Blankenbuehler production set off a global revolution with its contemporary score but was later brought under scrutiny for its lack of accurate representation of Afro-Caribbean and African-American voices. W. Jerome Stevenson is an Instructor of Performance for the Helmerich School of Drama at the University of Oklahoma and served as the Producing Artistic Director of the Pollard Theatre Company in Oklahoma until 2020. Stevenson is an accomplished director and a proud member of Actor's Equity Association and serves as adjunct theatre faculty at Oklahoma City and Oklahoma Universities. Stevenson's numerous directing credits include Hairspray, Green Day's American Idiot, Crowns, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. In addition to a variety of work in radio, television, and film, Jerome was the recipient of a 2018 Oklahoma Governor Arts Award for Community Service.

IN THE HEIGHTS COMPOSER: Lin-Manuel Miranda LYRICIST: Lin-Manuel Miranda BOOK: Quiara Alegria Hudes DIRECTOR: Thomas Kail CHOREOGRAPHER: Andy Blankenbuehler PRINCIPLE CAST: Robin De Jesus (Sonny), Mandy Gonzalez (Nina), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Usnavi),  OPENING DATE: Mar 09, 2008 CLOSING DATE: Jan 09, 2011 PERFORMANCES: 1,184 SYNOPSIS: Washington Heights, New York is the diverse environment that holds an eclectic group of citizens. Usnavi, the show's narrator and bodega manager, observes the lives of his neighbors as they begin to forge new paths in and out of the barrio.   In the Heights was the first Broadway musical to rely on rap as its primary mode of storytelling. Composer Lin Manuel Miranda first began developing the show while a student at Wesleyan University with a desire to share his perspective as a child of immigrants and emphasize a universal desire to find belonging. Devon Hunt traces In the Heights' seven year development process, collaborators Thomas Kail and Quiara Alegría Hudes, and outlines the significant cultural influences which informed the work. The musical is significant as a Latinx-authored, authentic telling of Latinx immigrant stories and its success laid the groundwork for Miranda's later artistic accomplishments. Devon Hunt is an Assistant Professor of Theatre at Oklahoma State University. His areas of research include secondary musical theatre educator training and Black contributions to early 20th-century musical theatre. Selected regional acting credits: She Loves Me (SDSU), A Chorus Line (Welk Resorts Theatre), The Producers (Moonlight Amphitheatre), and the world premiere of The Tale of Despereaux (The Old Globe/PigPen Theatre). Devon holds an MFA in Musical Theatre from SDSU and an MM in piano performance from the University of Maryland. He is an Equity Membership Candidate and a proud member of the Musical Theatre Educators' Alliance.

COVID-19 has created a unique dearth in the film industry. We've all been seeking something to look forward to this summer and Disney+ provided a glimmer last week by releasing a film version of Hamilton captured live from Broadway in 2016. In a sea of theater at home releases that leave the world questioning what constitutes the very definition of film, entertainment is on the cusp of revolution and sets a stage for Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical to further demonstrate the importance and power of deals with titans in the ongoing battles for content on their proprietary streaming services. The Film Board couldn't resist gathering to commemorate American independence with this innovative exploration of history.We've talked before about the relevance of historical accuracy in film portrayals. The issue garners additional talking points in the realm of musical theater, so we'll address it in a new way on this show and we'll attempt to place this filmed version of stage success alongside other movie depictions of Broadway's greats. This is definitely a different way to view either medium, so it's important to weigh how it channels the original and holds up on screen. Join The Film Board for this landmark release in the middle of our summer malaise.

Kathryn and Tug tell the story of the time they hung out in Larry Bird's office and talked about wine. Tug made his Broadway debut in 2012 portraying Larry Bird in the play MAGIC/BIRD directed by Thomas Kail, and they connected after the completed run of the show. Kathryn and Tug reminisce on how wine served as a catalyst to a very fun, warm conversation. Later in the episode, Kathryn discusses why she likes to taste wines for Esters before she ever meets the winemaker. Tug names two musical artists he's been listening to under quarantine, and Kathryn gives out a rare music recommendation as well! They also fawn over a delicious, affordable Chardonnay from Burgundy.

Austin Scott (Hamilton Broadway's Alexander Hamilton) is on the pod this and next week!

Patrick Vassel, Hamilton's Associate & Supervising Director, is back this week to talk moving from The Public to Broadway, the joy and misery of tech, and how The Cabinet (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Thomas Kail, Alex Lacamoire, and Andy Blankenbuehler) established and continue to keep an extraordinary amount of trust among eeryone working on the show. Oh!

Alex Lacamoire is back to blow our minds once again which is crazy because I'm still not over last week's episode. This week we dive into Lin-Manuel Miranda's favorite arrangements and how Alex came to make them: Yorktown (YAASSSS!!!), Wait For It (SRSLY YOU'RE NOT READY), One Last Time ("f@%k you strings!"), and That Would Be Enough (Alex brought something that even Lin hasn't heard yet - yes, there were tears). Oh! AND! Alex plays an exclusive track you can't hear anywhere else called "Hamilton Finale Idea" and while neither Alex, LMM, nor Thomas Kail remember exactly what it was for I can promise you that your world will never be the same.  Andrés Forero Episodes:  Episode #118: When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again // Part One Episode #119: When you knock me down I get the fuck back up again // Part Two That Would Be Enough musicians (Hamilton quartet from The Philip Tour - @hamiltourquartet) Concertmaster/Violin I: Austin Burket Violin 2: Hayden Oliver Viola: Sarah Haines Cello: Buffi Jacobs  

Hamilton director Tommy Kail is back again this week and I am reminded, by Tommy, that no one thinks I'm laid back. In this episode Tommy talks about the casting process including how Hamilton has the feeling of a family reunion, and he gives his opinion on what happens in the very last moment of the show. In non-Hamilton related topics, Tommy tells the story of how he and Lin-Manuel Miranda ended up in the Sex and the City movie, his experience directing Grease LIVE!, and why "Mona Lisa" by Slick Rick is a defining song for him.  The West Wing Weekly: Hamilton Special (with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Kail) Grease: Live Is The Word Grease LIVE! Freddy My Love Slick Rick - "Mona Lisa"

That's Thomas as in KAIL. YES! TOMMY. KAIL. CAME. OVER. It was super fun and we are naturally at 1.5x speed. Tommy tells me all about the upcoming Hamilton exhibition in Chicago, opening this November, and how the job of a director changes (or doesn't) as a production evolves. We bond over It's a Wonderful Life, Tommy reminds cast members who are alums of The Hamilcast that he *does* hear the stories they tell, I teach him the correct names of Hamilton songs, and Tommy confirms that he is not in fact Alex Lacamoire. OR IS HE??? He's not, you guys, they just both have really fantastic hair.  Have I mentioned that Hamilton and In The Heights director and all around excellent human Thomas Kail hung out with me for a few hours? Because it still feels ridiculous.  Freestyle Love Supreme at Joe's Pub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_MLXaP2q1M Choreographing 'Hamilton': The Meaning Behind the Moves: https://youtu.be/VmYTsOrnWP0
