Can we be honest with ourselves. This is the closest that we'll get to seeing Hamilton

I am dying to see HAMILTON in person
And I saw it in April. 🙂

"I hope youre had a good week"
WELL NOW I AM BECAUSE YOU HAVE BLESSED ME WITH A 23 MINUTE LONG VIDEO
"HERE COMES THE GENERAL" no-one else died??
*prays for a Hamilton medley performed at the Tonys*
Yesssss! Or maybe the end of Act 1 I forget the name but the medley of everyone is amazing.
If you want a Hamilton Medley also - there's a really good one in Spirit Young Performers Company, ITS AMAZING.
that would've been beautiful
I just want the cast to sing Christmas songs, "Hamilton: The Christmas Revolution!"
I wanna see what the Hamilsquad would look like after they had too much eggnog! XD
9:13 Anthony Ramos is clearly a fan of The Hamiltones . The second reference I've known him to make to one of their songs. 😂👍
Huzzah! We've been gifted with a 23 min video? The wait was worth it. Thanks Mr. Burr, sir your advice worked!
Yes, I'm watching a Hamilton vlog.
But I freaking gasped when Alex Brightmann came in
I miss him :(
Same. I screamed. I think the people in my building think that I'm help.
+Jaz Nishimura Well I ended up shaking
I'm the third question he answered in the #AskOdomJr.....

I started screaming and jumping up and down. Two awesome actors, at the same moment!😱

5:12 I LOVE THAT WASHINGTON AND DAVEED AND LIN AND LESLIE ARE ALL FRIENDS NOW I LOVE THIS CAST SO MUXH OMG
This is like a friendlier version of 'The Room where it Happens' lol
If Thomas Sanders played the king I would die. I think he would too.
Destruction Hamster if he wasn't white I would love to see him as John/Philip
Michal Kate C. I want to see him as Jefferson 🤣
Leslie's voice is BEAUTIFUL
I love how u can see Lin sitting just a little bit to the right at 2:00 XD
he looks sad :C
I've wanted to act since I was a preteen, and watching backstage stuff like this just gets me so buzzed. Not because of the glitz and glamour and the obvious attraction of being a star, but seriously, just look how much fun they have together! Acting is hard yes, and completely emotionally and physically draining sometimes, but the family you get from every show you're in is so strong, and the injokes and random sing-a-longs, and just everything about it is so much fun that it doesn't matter how tired you are afterwards! Plus it's just such a fascinating process bringing stories to life on stage with just a few costumes, a set and a script. If I ever get to be a chorus member in Hamilton, my career will be made.
SAME
Same! Hey, it’s been 5 years. How are you doing? Do you still want to do musical theater?
whenever people say that they've seen Hamilton more than once it makes me want to cry because all i want is to be able to grow old and tell my grandchildren that i saw the original Hamilton when it was on Broadway and rn it looks like i may have to lie to my future grandkids
I'll cover for you if you cover for me
*Laughs in Disney+
Update: I actually saw the show in 2020 in San Francisco dreams come true kids
@@mikaelacraft7427 aaaah yay!
Mikaela Craft awesome 😭
He is so sweet, I can't even. Love this video.
Okay I have realized the perfect word for Leslie: ADORABLE
everybody be talkin about thomas sanders as king george but im over here like:
OMG DID YOU SEE ANTHONY? DID YOU SEE HIS SMILE?? OHMIGOD HES SO CUUUUUTE
Leslie is so damn charismatic! He should start his own vlog channel. I would watch that shit everyday
nah cause same
Thomas sanders freaking out was so cute.
Amazing to see how much they actually WORK before WORK starts at the end of the day for the show. Stamina!
Graffiti Pete !!!!
I find it funny how Leslie only put the girl who plays Peggy in the video for a few seconds
That's honestly the most Peggy thing ever
Hello? She has the best role in the musical! MARIA REYNOLDS
+Nix Levencheen it was a joke, because Peggy is the lesser sister ....
SHE WAS LITERALLY SHOWN FOR 1 SECOND
Thank you for showing us The Hamilton Cast sitting around a table, drunk, the waiters cleaning up, too polite to ask them to leave. Bless.
WHEN THEY WERE SINGING RENT I KINDA JUST DIED
I love how much fun Leslie looks like he's having, it's just nice to see people happy lol.
“Get tickets to HAMILTON”
Me silently sobbing in the corner: I’m trying
AHHHHH why is everyone in the cast so talented and adorable and just totally awesome people? Secondly can someone explain what the difference between a swing/understudy/ensemble is? Also Andrew Chaplelle understudies SIX PARTS HOLY CRAP that's a lot. Leslie's "Without You" from RENT is just WOW like I need a full cover of that right now. I loved seeing a bit of rehearsal even that tiny part is amazing. Also anyone else see Seth at 8:11 and think "Graffiti Pete!"?
*rubs hands together* Okay! So, to my understanding:
Swing: Cast member who learns multiple parts (either ensemble or named) that could be expected to perform them at any point if the usual actor is out for the day. Swings have an incredibly hard job. In some shows, swings are expected to be able to cover every part if needed.
Understudy: Cast member who typically learns a few parts in their entirety in case the usual actor is out. Typically an understudy would not learn more than 2-3 parts, but they are the first-string replacements for main named parts.
Ensemble: Cast members with supporting roles. They are the dancers and ensemble singers that accompany scenes with the named lead characters.
Hope this helps!
Navy Spiecker
It does thanks you! So if the original cast member is out sick or something then the understudy is the first choice and if the understudy isn't there or something than a swing goes in? Also can a swing/understudy be part of the ensemble?
Something like that! Generally, an understudy is the first replacement for a major part. One person may be an understudy for several parts, so if the main actor isn't there, one of his/her understudies will go on. If for some reason half the cast is out sick with the plague, then yes, a swing would most likely fill the role. Swings/understudies are almost always ensemble members unless they are needed to fill major roles for a night. That way, they can watch the show and keep track of the blocking and choreography for multiple parts while performing every night.
Navy Spiecker
dang being a swing sounds like it's the hardest part aha also are there understudies for the ensemble? Like what if they have 10 members of the ensemble and someone is out... they'd need someone else because then the numbers and formations for dances and such would be off
It is! Swings are impressive as hell. And generally not, if a member of the ensemble is out then there would probably just be a hole onstage. HOWEVER, sometimes a show may have a B cast that performs some days of the week but not all. Casts may switch from day to day, and in that case, a member of the B cast could come and fill the spot for the A cast. However, this is rare, especially on Broadway.
THOMAS SANDERS AND LESLIE ODOM JR TOGETHER IS JUST PERFECT
THOMAS SANDERS AS THE KING WOULD GIVE ME PURE JOY
"Who are you wearing today?"
"The Calvin of the Klein"
*Me* : The Wal of Mart
Thank you for blessing me with a 23 minute video
YAAAAAAAASSSS HAMILTON IS LIFE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I loved Leslie's rendition of goodbye love :'-)
Omg I just saw he also did without you (but seriously) I'm done
I stopped this video and went and found the full recording of Without You. One of my favorite songs.
"i'm not a cryer" -shonda rhimes
*all greys anatomy deaths play at once*
Why were they singing It's Quiet Uptown though. Also one of the dancers sydney harcourt posted a video of them singing wait for it. Why are they doing slow songs for the Tonys?
They might be doing a medley of a bunch of songs - almost like a mini recap of the whole show :)
They might've been just rehearsing for the show itself, as they do everyday.
Oh hey there, Claire
+Alison Chung hi!! 😂
+clairelundin ONG YEEDSSSSSSESSS I HOPE
This series has been so rent centric so far, I love it
The world can really be a wonderful place, once we see Leslie's face
THOMAS SANDERS!!! EEEK!!! IM DYING OF HAPPINESS!!! HE NEEDS TO BE KING GEORGE III!!!
Never have I clicked on a video so fast!
aW les and his wife
*they must be protected at all costs*
They're like a real life Aaron and Theodosia!
LESLIE AND MEGAN! I'm getting Smash flashbacks
My favorite thing to do while watching these is to go back and just look at the people in the background and see who else I can spot. It makes me happy to see the interactions of the cast when they aren't performing or know they're being recorded.
Shonda has seen Hamilton four times??? WHY CAN'T THAT BE ME.
OMG THOMAS SANDERS **faints, but fan girls while unconscious**
Hahahaha Leslie let's just say it's good that you're playing a part in Hamilton: an AMERICAN Musical 😜😜
okieriete cozying up to elizabeth and the four of them so comfortable at 9:35 makes me warm and fuzzy, this cast makes people feel good how do they do it
He is just so good at these. Also, everyone in this cast is so charming and precious.
THIS WAS EVERYTHING
the beginning of Goodbye Love is one of my favorite parts of RENT, or any musical, and I love that Lin was just randomly singing it
Leslie's British accent is amazing. Leslie himself is way too precious
2:18 "Fit in on a girl..." and i'm dead!
5:22 Is that... a rock version of Fur Elise in the background?
Yes... 😂
THIS IS MY FAVORITE VLOG SERIES!!!!!!!
Love the special behind the scenes and backstage bits we get to see of them rehearsing!!! Makes me feel happy getting to see their performance and dancing!
Why did I find it so funny that at 7:14 everyone’s singing and Anthony’s just like yup I’m dead again
This is so chill and relaxed and they are successful meanwhile my school
..
Congratulations Tony winner!!!!
That "Without You" cover thoooooo!!!
And bless you for this 23 minute video. Every minute was treasured
At 11:55 the first two notes in Hello from the Book of Mormon play. Don't ask me how I noticed that I'm aware I am garbage but maybe Rory has something to do with it:)
I noticed too !!!!
+Emily Henderson I HEARD IT
I noticed it too!!!
yay throwback to the school of rock vlogs
ANTHONY HERE 12:25 THIS IS ALL I NEED
Him not knowing what “knackered” means was the best, and his accent mwah 😬😂
I can’t tell you how excited I got when he brought Thomas Sanders on 😆
YAY I LOVE THESE VIDEOS CAUSE UGH LESLIE
I know right!
It looked like Anthony was sleeping during “Its Quiet Uptown” 😂
Shonda Rhimes is a GODDESS
Will the Tony performance include It's Quiet Uptown because y'all were rehearsing it
Honestly....why?
That's such a weird song. I love the song. But it's the big ballad of the show....why is that part of their Tony performance?
I doubt it since I'd assume not all of the cast is in it
No despite performing the show 8 times a week they're constantly rehearsing it too. Lin said on Twitter something about writing their performance for the Tonys so I'm hoping they're combining a bunch of stuff.
Maybe it'll be a medley? I doubt they'll do Alexander Hamilton or My Shot since they present those two at pretty much every event, though. But I'll just say that Non-Stop would be a great choice.
+Juan Manuel Sánchez or The Room Where it Happens
Omg when he ha holding up the picture of him in Vogue Magazine it looks like he is holding it up for a picture and his very proud mother is taking a picture, that smile like... okay mom let's go! I love it 😂
I can't deal with the RENT references 😭
I'm gonna give Leslie a gold star for effort with that British accent, the precious little cinnamon roll! XD xxx
Thomas Sanders for King George III
It's taking me so long to watch this because I keep stoping it to pause and rewind and fangirl a lot.
that one second clip of jasmine has blessed me
2:17 omg Megan hilly ugh this vlog keeps getting better and better, who love him all the way back to smash
Omg! This is 23 minutes long?! Yaaas!
OMG, watching Leslie Odom Jr. perform Without you from RENT is just two of the most incredible things in this world combined. I would love to see Leslie sing La Vie Boheme!!! He would be hilarious and great
Leslie seems like such a genuine, kind person. I love it.
Man you really know somebody is to be respected when they can speak calmly at the Tony’s lunch-in
with *the* Lin Manuel-Miranda behind them.
magic arm disappearing dress - Pippa♥️
i NEARLY screamed for thomas oh my god. i did squealed thi
