  • I practically lost my mind when they said that Wayne Brady was going to sing "Wait For It" from the musical "Hamilton"!
    I loved him "In Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and I've listened to the soundtrack of "Hamilton" so many times that I sing along to it in my car, so yeah...mind blown!

      I actually quite like Lyndon Watts as Aaron Burr from the Australian production as much as I like Leslie. He just suited burr so well but also didn’t seem quite as harsh as Leslie, he added a bit of something to the performance. (Not saying I don’t like Leslie, I do, I just enjoy seeing how different actors portray the characters and I think Lyndon’s is lovely)

    I love Wayne’s singing but sorry, he’s no Leslie Odom when it comes to playing Aaron Burr. I believe in making a character your own but Leslie one is a tough act to follow with his amazing performances and two Wayne doesn’t personify this character for me. He didn’t command it as Leslie did. Kudos for doing the Chicago shows and his amazing voice in his own right but I can see why he never did the Broadway renditions.
