hamiltunesWall Street Journal: ‘Hamilton’ Biographer Is Making History on Broadway: Ron Chernow says 2015 brought ‘a biographer’s wish-fulfillment fantasy’
Outside of the theater one night, actor Anthony Ramos, who plays John Laurens and Philip Hamilton, was signing autographs and spotted Mr. Chernow, “real incognito in the back,” the actor recalled.
“I wanted to give a shout out to Ron,” Mr. Ramos said. “If it hadn’t been for him, we wouldn’t be here.”
So, putting the author in the stage-door spotlight, he yelled: “Everybody, this is the guy who wrote the book!”
The scrum gasped and swiveled, applauding a man accustomed to tidy lines of fans at book stores.
“I was so startled by the crowd’s reaction, I simply waved and rushed off in a daze,” Mr. Chernow said, estimating there were 150 people. “I had never had a moment like that.”
