In The Greatest City In The World, Wherein We Become Groupies (or Stalkers), Part 1



After the first night in front of the stage door where only two main actors came out, we loitered near the main theater doors last night.  After a series of limos/ black livery cars left, a single black car remained in front and I assumed it was for Lin. WIth only a few people in front (and over 100 near the stage door) nearly every actor exited from the main and immediately adjacent doors. Lin-Manuel Miranda literally ran out the theater doors and leapt into the car.  We got looks and waves from him as if to say "I'm sorry I have to do this.  I would have no life if I didn't do this!"


 
Daveed Diggs arriving for Friday night's performance.


Alex Lacamoire, the musical director, diving for the open door.






Leslie Odom Jr, who plays Aaron Burr. Odom is nominated for Best Actor in a Musical against Lin-Manuel Miranda, and may well win. 



Okieriete Onaidowan (Oak) who plays Mulligan the revolutionary in Act I and James Madison in Act II.



The incredibly handsome Christopher Jackson who plays George Washington.  He is signing Miles' one dollar bill here. It is very hard for me not to think of Washington as looking like this now.



Phillippa Soo who plays Hamilton's wife, Eliza. She has a chance to win the best actress in a musical Tony Award because her part has so much breadth (life, love, loss.)

  1. Such an amazing experience! And you got the bonus of seeing Phillipa with her handsome, and very talented, fiancé Steven Pasquale! :)

  2. Thanks Lisa. It's sad that it's over. We counted that we went to the theater 6 times while we were there.

  5. Wow, cool post. I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article... but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though. Hamilton Wedding Limo
