Shock and Awesome

Repost of my episode with Lin-Manuel Miranda, the brains behind Hamilton.. and so much more.

The man behind the music, Alex Lacamoire is not only the music director/orchestrator of Hamilton, but he is currently the music supervisor of Dear Evan Hansen and *woman in a red dress emoji* music directing/"cubanizing" Carmen Jones. His work can be seen all over Broadway from Wicked, High Fidelity and Annie to In the Heights, Bring it On, and Bat Boy: The Musical(!!!) We can't get you tickets to Hamilton but stay tuned till the end for an exclusive directorial tour of "the room where it (actually) happened."
