I 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

I'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.

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

( 6-minute video embed )

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 - bfaythe

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 wi_hamiltonsupp

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

Sat, 11 Apr 2020 22:30:40 GMT

Posted by: jesse_the_k

Collated 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.

Hamilton Props Fondled by Adam Savage

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 13:55:23 GMT

Posted by: jesse_the_k

Hamilton touring companies fan out and more content appears! Adam Savage donttrythis is thrilled to handle the papers, furniture, muskets and King George's scepter backstage with the SF company's prop master. My wow! Moment is the champagne glasses (for the Helpless/Satisfied dance) are magnetized to the drinks tray — that’s how waiters can dance around with such celerity.

Just saw Chicago matinee

Sat, 23 Dec 2017 00:33:19 GMT

Posted by: jesse_the_k

I didn’t conceive that the staging is as wonderful and surprising and inventive as the music we know so well. I was riveted for three hours.

it was lovely. I knew I’d cry — I hadn’t expected I’d be laughing this hard.

The Chicago company is outstanding: I had some concern that it wouldn’t match the magic of the ORCA. Totally unfounded.

The sightlines from the accessible seats are outstanding: exactly center stage. The theater is not drafty and not hot, at least on a warm 35F afternoon.

Trump's response to the hurricane disaster in Puerto Rico has been so awful that Lin-Manuel Miranda, who (as the internet pointed out) has never been heard to say anything mean about anyone ever, was provoked to use harsh language:
