The Hamilcast: A Hamilton Podcast

In the second episode of my hang with Mike Anthony (Bar manager at the Richard Rodgers) and Mike (you know Mike) we talk about M.Ant seeing Hamilton for the first time, how the Richard Rodgers is most definitely haunted, plus we get pretty emotional when talking about grief and mediumship. It gets real, but we have fun too I promise. Here we go! Got Milk?

Mike Anthony (Bar Manager at the Richard Rodgers) truly encapsulates the meaning of "built palaces out of paragraphs" in the first episode of our epic three part series! This week Mike shares how he came to be the bar manager at the Rodgers, why he refers to Lin-Manuel Miranda as "the cup guy", and the difficulties of being face to face with the elected officials of our current administration. We also discuss how lovely and warm the Obamas are and how M.Ant met President Obama while going to get ice for the bar!   Mike Anthony on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeanthony91 Brandon Victor Dixon and the cast of Hamilton address VP-Elect Mike Pence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0gDpscFucI Acceptance Speech: Lin-Manuel Miranda - Best Book of a Musical (2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jehrbUGdlE Rory O’Malley on The Hamilcast: https://www.thehamilcast.com/171-rory-omalley-hamiltons-king-george-iii/ President Obama at New York City Fundraiser: https://www.c-span.org/video/?400120-2/president-obama-

Part Two of my hang with Austin Scott (Hamilton Broadway's Alexander Hamilton) is here! Austin is taking a deep dive into Alexander Hamilton himself: was he really a womanizer? How did it all change between Hamilton and Burr? What is going through his mind during the final duel? Not to mention Eliza's final moment! We also talk Austin's appearance on FX's Pose, how crystals and meditation are his self care, and how much he loves the stage door.

Austin Scott (Hamilton Broadway's Alexander Hamilton) is on the pod this and next week! This week we're talking all about the Cabinet Battles, we show love for Andy Blankenbuehler and Thomas Kail, and learn why people at the Richard Rodgers confuse Austin for Nik Walker. We also have a super real conversation about slavery and the many flaws of The Founding Fathers. “They Found Hell” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5113926/ “Prep School” https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2577668/ Does the Dog Die? https://www.doesthedogdie.com/ Freestyle Love Supreme now on Broadway! https://freestylelovesupreme.com/ The Reynolds Pamphlet https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-21-02-0138-0002 Hamilton’s “Best of Wives, Best of Women” letter https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-26-02-0001-0248 As plantations talk more honestly about slavery, some visitors are pushing back via The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2019/09/08/plantations-are-talking-more-about-slavery-grappling-with-visit

Live from New York, it's Sunday afternoon! I introduced my dear friend Horatio Sanz (Saturday Night Live) to Hamilton by taking him to a Sunday matinee in the middle of a heatwave. Then we met up with Mike and talked about Raj's (Horatio's nickname) experience. Spoiler: he loved it! There's laughing, there's singing, there are non-sequiturs, there's a lot going on. This episode is off the rails from the very beginning. Enjoy! "The Residuals" Season 2, Episode 3: "The Client" The Hooray Show

Miguel Cervantes (#HamiltonCHI’s Alexander Hamilton) was generous enough to find some time to record and we had such a great time.

I went to Chicago and Mike met me there and we had a bit of a weekend! It kicked off with a #PitSit on Thursday, which means I GOT TO SIT IN THE PIT WITH THE MUSICIANS DURING A PERFORMANCE AND THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. The rest of the weekend involved #HamiltonCHI, #HamEx, an amazing listener meetup, and recording with cast members! Hamilton is the best. The end.

Patrick Vassel, Hamilton's Associate & Supervising Director, rounds out his episodes with details about those scary work sessions we've heard about from so many actors (finally), fills us in on The Character Constitution, and talks about the upcoming productions in Australia and Hamburg, Germany. 

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! And PDV raps cut lyrics from two songs, with explicit permission from Lin-Manuel, who texted us during the recording.   The Room Where It Happens (Off-Broadway): https://genius.com/Lin-manuel-miranda-the-room-where-it-happens-off-broadway-lyrics   What'd I Miss?
