In Jennifer Geller’s second episode, she talks about how heartbroken she was not to book Hamilton Chicago after being personally invited to audition by Andy Blankenbuehler. But when she eventually booked Hamilton’s first national tour, Andy reminded her it was all about trusting the process. Easier said than done, but a good lesson nonetheless.
Jennifer also goes in on how the the ensemble is an extension of Burr’s mind, especially during “The Room Where it Happens” (it’s fascinating, you have to hear this) and explains how Hamilton’s purposeful choreography and storytelling spoils performers forever.
Plus, we talk about Hamilton coming back to Broadway after the COVID-19 lockdown and how we both used to be insufferable nightmares who didn’t have any work/life balance but we’ve both moved on from that nonsense and have changed for the better (thank god).
