koreI believe this is from the fundraiser that Rydra linked to below? It's pretty neat! omg Leslie Odom and Daveed Diggs are still so hot I saw this just now, and it's REALLY enjoyable in the context of all the Trump campaign lawsuits crashing and burning.

Five Hamilfilm-adjacent Videos
Jul. 8th, 2020 04:11 pmjesse_the_kI'm waiting to see the Hamilton film on Disney until I really need a treat. In the meantime, I'm enjoying all the new content that's available on YouTube. None of it has decent captions.
Hamilton Principal Cast on Its Relevance in 2020
Lin-Manuel Miranda: not a word has changed but the world has changed
Renee Elise Goldsberry: It's the voice of a revolution and the revolution continues
and more from Leslie Odom, Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs

Fanvid to the Hamilton Polka
Al Yankovic recuts the movie to fit his parody "The Hamilton Polka" -- only the happier parts, it's a very silly vid.
direct link: https://youtu.be/onededbhtqw
Behind the scenes 1: Lighting
from the New Yorker, "Behind the Scenes with Patrick Rizzo, a 'Hamilton' Stagehand - Who Told Stories with Lights"
direct link: https://youtu.be/hl11wtfgxqi
Behind the scenes 2: Tiny hidden microphones
Fascinating facts: each and every mic has a duplicate mic on the same wire--so if a mic dies in the middle of the show, they can switch the standby mic signal into the PA.
The understudy/swing actors need a custom mic for each role they could play (because different costumes require different camouflaging) -- one actor has 14 mics!
Adam Savage gets all the details from Adrianna Bannon, audio engineer for the SF tour.

The Hamilton Cast Answers Twitter Questions
WIRED orchestrated this most-Hamilton of all social media interactions. They scoured the web for questions. Then all the principal cast members answer on a epic Zoom call with silly stories. You can see some of the real-time responses
https://twitter.com/wi_hamiltonsupp/with_replies
I should have figured out that the massive Tweeting situation was a marketing move:
Jan 15, 2017 question from Bethany -

After seeing the show, my biggest question is HOW DOES THE HAMILTON CAST HAVE TIME TO SNAP/TWEET/MAKE VIDEOS DURING THE SHOW??? #superpowers
Reply on Jul 1, 2020 from Renee Elise Goldsberry
The way we made it not exclusive was to use social media to share as much of the show as we possibly could with as many people as possible.

I was impressed by her singing and editing abilities. This was made possible in part by the existence of karaoke tracks — all the instrumentals for the entire show at this YouTube playlist

All the Deleted Songs from HAMILTON
Apr. 11th, 2020 05:23 pmjesse_the_kCollated by DreamCatcher. Get ready for 17 minutes of earlier iterations of Our Show, with full lyrics (color-coded by singer) on screen and quite clear audio.
I like the show we got, yet I'm sorry for some of these cuts. Eliza gets more agency, Angelica gets even more agency, Hamilton shreds Adams' ass, and the final duel is even sadder.

jesse_the_kThanks to NPR for letting me know about John Krasniski and Emily Blunt. They're hosting SomeGoodNews Some Good News on YouTube.
It's all GOOD NEWS! I enjoyed the whole, uncaptioned, show, linked in the cut. If you want to see the HAMILTON content, fast forward to 8:30
