DeAundre' Woods, the And Peggy Tour's Alexander Hamilton, joins me for two episodes! In part one, Dre' tells me about going from being an opera-trained LSU Alum, to covering Hamilton/Burr/Laurens/Philip/Mulligan/Madison, to playing Hamilton full time. Plus, shared moments with Lin-Manuel Miranda onstage in Puerto Rico, the beauty of the domino effect, and what can happen when others see something in you that you don't yet see in yourself.

In the second half of my conversation with Trevor Dion Nicholas (London's George Washington), we dive into the rest of his Hamilton story including standing firm in his desire to audition for GWash and only GWash. Plus, we talk politics and how and when to separate the art from the artist. Or, you know, separate the genius writings from the terrible person. Looking at you, Thomas Jefferson! We do take a short detour to share our love for artists like incubus, foo fighters, and Ben folds and then we wrap up with the Patreon peeps. Yeah, we cover a lot of ground!

In the second half of our chat, Ashley LaLonde (cover for all three Schuyler Sisters, Maria Reynolds, and Woman 5 on Hamilton's Philip Tour) walks us through her final Hamilton audition during which she had both Covid *and* the flu. Yes, it's possible! Ashley also has a very special relationship with all three Angelica, Eliza, Peggy, and Maria so she talks about she she connects to all of these fascinating women. Plus, Ashley takes questions from the Patreon Peeps, and gets very personal about her hair journey and how she grew to love her stunning natural curls.

Ashley LaLonde covers all three Schuyler Sisters, Maria Reynolds, and Woman 5 on the Philip Tour. Ashley's Hamilton story is a total full circle moment with so many incredible stops along the way. As a born and raised New Yorker, Ashley saw and fell in love with Hamilton at The Public (thanks to Lin's orthodontist, of all people!). She began singing Hamilton songs in her high school a cappella group and was determined to be in the show. Before being cast in Hamilton, Ashley did a quick stint at Harvard where she made history as the first woman to be cast (as the lead!) in a Hasty Pudding show.

I hope you're ready to do a deep dive on Angelica like never before, because Ava Brennan returns for the second half of our chat and is about to change your LIFE! Ava walks us through booking Hamilton and then lets us in on her emotional journey to capture the heartbreak and sacrifice of Angelica Schuyler. That experience led her to Fantine in Les Miserables and Ava discusses the similarities, difficulties, and triumphs of both roles.
