Hamilton director Tommy Kail is back again this week and I am reminded, by Tommy, that no one thinks I’m laid back. In this episode Tommy talks about the casting process including how Hamilton has the feeling of a family reunion, and he gives his opinion on what happens in the very last moment of the show. In non-Hamilton related topics, Tommy tells the story of how he and Lin-Manuel Miranda ended up in the Sex and the City movie, his experience directing Grease LIVE!, and why “Mona Lisa” by Slick Rick is a defining song for him.
