[@arronburr9520]

Yes, I have made it into the room where it happens. I am very happy and proud.

[@MelissaTEve]

5:00 Anthony making fun of Christopher Jackson's Method acting lol

[@AJ-sr2hz]

I love Anthony so much

[@hannahbyrams5226]

Melissa T Oh my gosh I was crying when I saw that!

[@syda7506]

Melissa T its more funny how they said Leslie was more serious in front of him

[@veronica.theswamphag]

That clip with all of them just chilling was so freaking cute

[@SeaF0amii]

All of them are adorable.

[@elizabethelliott7966]

Jasmine and Pippa need to steal the camera again for longer

[@ayo5946]

YOU'LL NEVER GET YOUR PRECIOUS CAMERA AGAIN 😈

[@caela2108]

Anthony: Chris be walkin' around with a grimace!" *rocks back and forth with a hilarious straight face* Anthony: For three hours he's *really* George Washington!" Me: *dead of laughter*

[@hyomihyun5539]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW ADORABLE SASHA, JAZZ AND PIPPA ARE AT 9:28?!

[@atalyakoss6889]

i should probably know this but can u explain how their nicknames came to be?

[@lucielchoi2537]

Crystal Hammond true

[@abigator8261]

Sylia Adalin is the story of tonight reprise playing?! Oh my gosh so that's what they do while waiting to go on stage 😂they steal the cameras!!😂

[@mei-mz4to]

AND ARI

[@siabangia8238]

HIS WIFE IS SO PRETTY AHHHH THEYRE SO CUTE

[@caitlinmorales7277]

5:06 You can hear Chris Jackson practice "One Last Time" in the background.

[@bananana611]

cheeses HOW COULD YOU HEAR THAT?! IT'S SO FAINT?!

[@jntaborski]

Caitlin Morales he wasn't even practicing it. I think the show was going on bc Leslie was in costume

[@Chelsea-sf3bx]

Im_Gay yeah I think so too

[@majorliuser]

You can also hear it in the beginning

[@Lhun-ft6rl]

Yes!

[@qweed54]

"Try not to make a fool of myself. And if I do make a fool of myself do it an a way that's charming and endearing" well that about sums up my day to day life

[@Haysalto]

Jimmy was absolutely adorable at the stage door I LOVED HIM😂 he kept all of us at the stage door on our feet and excited for the possibilities of meeting the cast! And he kept on checking on us for over two hours! 💙

[@laurenhicks6831]

How do people see it 8 times but I can't get a ticket for 1 show?

[@henryruiz3329]

Money

[@Olafty]

Connections

[@laurenhicks6831]

Guess so... But still

[@fieryrainysky]

They Special,lol.

[@McGirlie1]

The shows aren't technically sold out. there are special seats that are colored red on the digital map that are very expensive some sell to around two thousand dollars because they are the last few seats left. The lady that has been 8 times is in another bway show as the lead and she is making A LOT of money so she can afford those seats.

[@chrisroderosvlogsroderos267]

Wait... They had cameras at a performance??? If this means live recording of the current cast HALLELUJAH 🙌👏

[@miss_kt_g3121]

The NY Public Library films a lot of Broadway shows for its archives, filming might not be being released to the public

[@alexasanders34]

+miss_kt_g I was just about to say that. Don't get your hopes up fellow fans. Broadway is a very bureaucratic system outside of the theatre/stage and away from its performers. It's a lot more complex and more politically/economically driven then a lot of people may think. It's standard for the majority of live stage performances to be recorded for archive purposes. It's part of the Theatre on Film Tape Archive at the New York Public Library. The archives are exclusive for research/legacy purposes, not for public release.

[@javonmartel1481]

Could a person go to the library and see watch them? lol

[@euphoricdiaster]

Lin has mentioned that the show has been filmed (with the original cast including Jonathan Groff :D) but he doesn't know what is going to be done with it so fingers crossed!!

[@oOscarymvsbOo]

Lin said there will definitely be a filmed version of Hamilton available with the original cast. It has already been filmed no word on when it's being released, but its coming cause he said he wants it to be more accessible to students.

[@McGirlie1]

THIS CANNOT END ON WEEK EIGHT DO TWO SEASONS LIKE THE CINDERELLA ONE!!! I love this too much to let it go soon.

[@kaylag.5807]

I just need these vlogs to go on forever!!

[@cristinaclare6082]

AMENNNNNN

[@lovelygoldensparrow]

Forever..and Ever..and Ever..and Ever..and Eveeeeer..

[@Itstaged]

[@Damianarose]

HOW DOES SOMEONE SEE HAMILTON 8 TIMES UGGGHHHHHH

[@PixelDoodles]

[@lizlet_]

[@davidpearson8633]

[@watermelonsugar8894]

[@amberbernardieteuati]

8 TIMES!? DUDE. I can't even breathe on a Hamilton ticket without losing a dollar. WHAT I WOULD GIVE.

[@martha_s]

Veanne Cox's vulnerability and authenticity are really touching. Thank you for sharing that moment with us, Veanne.

[@GGliorF123]

Veanne made me cry. The end was so touching, and Leslie is just so wonderful and kind! I don't want these to ever end!!! And if they must I want someone else from the cast to get them! lol. Anthony maybe?!?! He cracks me up!!!

[@red.gem_]

Random person: Who's the most serious in the cast?? Anthony without hesitation: Leslie Me: Classic Aaron Burr.

[@benjaminnebenjamin6033]

“yu arr thah wurzt Burr” 😂

[@kristinporcello9235]

Had me crying at the end talking about the passing of her dad and listening to Quiet Uptown. The Hamilton Soundtrack makes me cry everyday and it's never at the same moment.

[@ayo5946]

Anthony's grimace face is hilarious. I love these people.

[@feedthekitty1]

These vlogs....what can I say? How lucky we are to be alive right now

[@FabianAndNina4ever]

SO. TRUE.

[@MacsUsername]

[@MABACTS]

I say this every week, but this has become my favorite series yet! It's awesome to see the behind-the-scenes work that goes into a show. As an actor, this is a very special time for me to learn as much as I possibly can!

[@michellemagallon5172]

I can't get over how beautiful and touching each ending of each episode is. Leslie really is a true artist, and absolutely true to his craft.

[@Smileyface157]

I love this cast more than life itself

[@aimeehunsinger7226]

I just want to thank Leslie for making these episode long. It is fantastic! 😊

[@firstnameisthename1552]

Daveed with glasses is adorable

[@PamelaSanchezBeauty]

Leslie and his wife are SO CUTE!

[@kcorona7715]

JAVI IS SO ADORABLE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

[@OrielleAloysia]

I just love how in Jimmy's book under his signature he wrote "A. Burr." Also, Hope Easterbrook. Shots out the Grammy!!!

[@junicloonie]

Love how he put A.Burr in the Book!

[@natashawalker8439]

I can't deal with Anthony please help 😂

[@morgankennedy8796]

[@araknidp]

Thank you so much for doing these. They are a real treat for us fans.

[@basiarogers]

Omg I look forward to this every week now I'm so newly obsessed!! I really love hearing about your life as a part of the show and doing everything you're doing, it's really inspiring for someone like me who is just beginning acting! Thank you :)

[@friendo713]

[@LottieM086]

I'm enjoying these so much, Leslie! please never stop :D

[@candicemimi2419]

This was beautiful. I’m finding Hamilton and you Leslie super late but it’s right on time for me.

[@LocaHermosa]

Love that you interviewed Jimmy!!!! What an awesome guy!!!!

[@amberbernardieteuati]

I love how you went up to Jim and interviewed him because far too people are under appreciated for being in the background. I want to see this show with this cast so bad I feel like I would chop off a toe. Hopefully, I can see it when I go down in two weeks. #Lottery #Cancellations 1% chance but IDGAF

[@cassandrac1614]

Loving these so much. Can't wait for the next one!

[@ItinerantIntrovert]

I'm really grateful for these vlogs!

[@assortedobsessions7106]

When Sasha, Jasmine and Phillipa took the camera, that just MADE MY WHOLE DAY!

[@ktbgh4439]

I love that he interviewed the doorman!

[@JadeEliot]

Daveed's Oakland shirt!!!!!!!!! Go Dubs!

I’ve got to be in the room where it happens. I LOVE THE CAST SO MUCH OMG.

[@LegalVampire]

Yayy, thank-you for this!

[@mercuryh3463]

hamsies make me happy

[@savannahcook7246]

This was the night they filmed for Disney plus!! Wow!!

[@k_loves_dogs7260]

AHHHH he signed Jimmy Fallons book with A. Burr. Thats great

[@Fashionista033]

These vlogs make me so so happy you have no idea!!!!

[@juliabruns4502]

13:31 "Yall had cameras going on tonight" hmm, disney+?

[@adisynnefransen1066]

Julia Bruns that’s what I’m thinking

[@mikanmochi12]

They film every broadway show for archival purposes. It looks like it’s not all the original cast (Johnathan Groff isn’t there for example) so it was more than likely that happening!

[@skeeyee1643]

Valencia King nah Groff had already left the cast when they filmed the show (now for disney), but he came back for that week just to do his part and he left again right after

[@mikanmochi12]

skeeYee I ended up remembering that a couple days after I commented! Lol. Oh well! Thanks for clarifying, too!

[@xingcat]

"They're not asking you to recite the Declaration of Independence," HA! What a story.

[@ira9299]

3:00 *sobbing* THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN; I WANNA BE IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENED

[@blackburnman101]

Favorite episode yet tbh

[@sophiecoyne7252]

THIS WAS THE DAY I SAW THE SHOW AHH I RECOGNIZE WHAT THE CAST IS WEARING

[@maddielamonica2141]

Leslie is my favorite person!!

[@echorain7126]

The "A.Burr" at the end of when he signs Fallon's book oml
