Wayne Brady Singing "Wait For It" from the "Hamilton" Musical

[@mad8598]

How has this man not visibly aged since I watched him on Whose Line Is It Anyway in the early 2000s? 😂

[@paullukis3315]

Black don't crack baby!

[@Roanoak]

he just has less hair

[@SinginViki]

I'm not surprised......Wayne Brady is a multi-talent and he stared as Aaron Burr in the Chicago company of Hamilton for like 6 months!

[@kriswoods7051]

I didn’t know that! I bet he was awesome!

[@aubunker]

For real??? Gotta find me some videos of that! 😮

[@GoMegGo84]

I saw him in Chicago. Wayne's Burr was strong, charming and funny. I knew he could sing, but I was taken aback by his vocals. He was VERY good.

[@SinginViki]

@@aubunker Oh yes he definitely has Broadway "chops". You should be to find video of him doing freestyle rap for the Broadway Cares charity when he was playing Burr in Chicago! Wayne also took over the role of Lola in Kinky Boots once Billy Porter left the show!

[@nolanchan8288]

I got to see him as Lola in Kinky Boots when I went to NY, he slayed that too. The cast also did a freestyle for charity. I guess the imrpov side doesn't surprise anyone but seeing it live was still a top experience in my life

[@marietailor3100]

I don’t know how I only just realized that this is the only casting for Aaron Burr that could ever be as good as Leslie. But hot DAMN gotta love Wayne. I - no joke - regularly rewatch his Masked Singer performances because they’re so good

[@Jordan-km3dd]

I thought i was the only one. I watch his masked singer stuff all the time. He's phenomenal.

[@Hamiltons_in_the_Heights]

I actually quite like Lyndon Watts as Aaron Burr from the Australian production as much as I like Leslie. He just suited burr so well but also didn’t seem quite as harsh as Leslie, he added a bit of something to the performance. (Not saying I don’t like Leslie, I do, I just enjoy seeing how different actors portray the characters and I think Lyndon’s is lovely)

[@tubelance]

Nik walker is a better burr IMO FYI. Marcus Choi is incredible Washington.

[@dantethepotato9263]

@@Hamiltons_in_the_Heights I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY LYNDON! He is my favourite Burr (and ive seen a lot of them)

[@saycibon]

Wayne Brady is our national treasure. What a multi-talented beautiful man he is. I was so thrilled to run across this today! Thanks for posting, littleasianme.

[@littleasianme10_4]

I agree! You're welcome! I'm glad you came across it and enjoyed it! ^_^

[@123benny4]

and we should protect him at all costs! LOL

[@cpehansen21]

Wayne Brady as Burr is S tier casting, the man is phenomenally talented. If he ever decides to bring his talent to Broadway, I'm scoring another ticket

[@khadijah6141]

Count me in too

[@Habibi2025-h3x]

Wayne Brady is so under rated. So talented man.

[@mwallace826]

I met him at a stage door in NYC when he was in 'Chicago' - he was the COOLEST, nicest, most gracious & chatty dude I ever met. Took photos, answered questions, made us laugh. I'll never forget it. Incredible guy

[@littleasianme10_4]

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to have that experience and thank you for sharing!

[@mwallace826]

@@littleasianme10_4 Thank YOU for sharing this awesome quality video! I’m always looking for his Hamilton performances

[@kaylabeshears6485]

Wayne Brady's phenomenal to have been put on the spot by Christopher Jackson in that moment, clearly very nervous, and still perform that well. Not that I'm surprised. Any "Whose Line..." fan knows he's an amazing singer.

[@tbella5186]

Beautiful version, this song needs so much passion, he gave it.

[@TheKimiko16]

Wayne's voice never stops making my heart melt. Ever since Whose Line is It Anyway, his voice had me!

[@barbiedoll2710]

His voice is so perfectly suited to this song. So good. 🙂

[@kickingleaves5122]

We love you Wayne Brady!! You are such a legend!!

[@mybraineatseverything7404]

I'm hopelessly in love with this man.

[@awell1257]

i heard him on the masked singer. and i was like there’s no way he wouldn’t be a perfect fit for aaron burr. and alas, he has played that role

[@realfakejayme]

Goosebumps! Love Wayne! And this is my favorite HamilSong too… wish I could have seen him in Chicago during his run!

[@lorenhikaru]

“I’m Wayne Brady b!tch!” That was the line, that made me love him. And I’m a man

[@kimberleyravenswood5287]

I would have loved to have seen him Hamilton in Chicago!❤

[@lillianfredriksson1890]

Love him so much. So talented.

[@theaterqueen95]

I know he played Aaron Burr in Chicago but why has he never played him on Broadway?! His voice is so smooth!

[@leah6820-y9v]

Chicago is still big.

[@theaterqueen95]

@@leah6820-y9v certainly true, Broadway is just... HUGE...

[@aubunker]

So glad I stumbled on this video. Thank you for posting it, it's such a pleasure hearing him singing Hamilton!

[@littleasianme10_4]

I'm glad you stumbled across it and enjoyed it. I loved hearing him sing a song from "Hamilton" too and I'm glad I could share it with fellow fans who equally appreciate it! ^_^

[@CaseyPriceForsakenhero]

If you didn't know he played Burr in Chicago in 2017. I wish he would play Burr again. I'd love to see him in the play

[@aubunker]

@@CaseyPriceForsakenhero Oh man, now I wanna hear him sing ALL of Burr's songs

[@paulthompkins4150]

I am absolutely blown away by HAMILTON and every song in it. I listen to the soundtrack EVERYDAY while at work.

[@xKatrishh]

Finally!!! I've been looking everywhere for a video of him singing Wait for it. Thank you for posting this!

[@stormangelus6638]

Go Wayne! He killed it!

[@rouelandrewpulma9799]

Goddamn. This song still gives me chills every time I listen to it. An absolute masterpiece.

[@CaseyPriceForsakenhero]

I would have loved to see him play the character in Chicago. I didn't get to start seeing Hamilton live until last year. I've seen it twice now. But I have loved him since watching who's line as a kid. Glad to finally see a video of him singing one of the songs atleast.

[@Allisontaylor1997]

I hope he gets the 1st perfect score for this on DWTS on Monday!!! I also want to hear this version

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

Seeing him do a serious role like this is shockingly good.

[@allietiess]

I wished I'd gotten to see Wayne in this role, goddamn ❤

[@juilawallace9679]

Wow Wayne Brady killed it

[@lifeisgood9800]

Update: I didn't get to see it in NY but I will maybe be seeing it in LA later this year in September and then next year in February again at the same venue like the first 2 times. I can't wait!

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@hollypsacucci1765]

This man exudes talent. What can’t he do?

[@martintemelkov]

Perfectly executed! Wonderful.❤

Holy smokes! Amazing

Chills ❤️

[@kaichuncheng4610]

WOW Love Wayne Brady's voice since WLIIA

[@kelseyg71993]

So cool to watch him dance to this yesterday!! Would’ve been even better if he recorded the song to use it during the dance. He is super talented and a joy to watch!

[@sydneyshaver4770]

He's dancing to this song tonight on Dancing with The Stars!!

[@Dearevanhansen223]

I know him as James Stinson from HIMYM and I have hamilton memorized so seeing this crossover is so amazing to me

[@fernandorivas7174]

WOW!!

[@missylks1239]

I’ve seen WB do his comedy shows twice. Man is GREAT and funny! Now I want a clip of you singing the Kinky Boots songs.(I know you did that too)

[@lifeisgood9800]

He messed up one of the lyrics but it doesn't matter. I've always wanted to hear his rendition of Wait For It, I bet his Room Where It Happens is just as fantastic. I'm seeing Hamilton in 3 days and I can't wait

[@dinosaurdanny6971]

Noticed that! I guess it's because I'm just obsessed tho. :) Still just absolutely amazing.

[@thegeekyspoon3969]

Holy ssshhhhiiiiiii. . . . .. . Best performance next to Leslie himself IMO.

[@hazy_lacy]

If they ever do a movie, I could easily see him as Washington

[@nicolecallaghan143]

Put him in the NYC Broadway show!!!

[@Hamiltons_in_the_Heights]

He was in the Chicago production for a while

[@aresef]

He was in Chicago as the other person said but he's a busy guy. Even during his run there were a handful of dates he couldn't be there due to other obligations.

[@beccac6812]

When is he hitting up Broadway as Burr ? Or Hamilton? Or literally any part cuz he could do any of them! I feel he’s be great as Washington too with his voice and “one last time”

[@latricehylton8093]

I know he will win dancing with the stars

[@julieschultz6363]

Wayne Brady can do no wrong.

[@DDarkestKnight]

I know him! He sung the theme song for that Disney show!

[@moniquegaines5731]

Of course he liked it!

[@lifeisgood9800]

Update: I saw the Show twice and this Cast amazing, the And Peggy Tour Cast 10/10 DeAundre' Woods is a perfect Hamilton and much better than Lin. Morgan Anita Wood delivered Eliza so so well, Donald Webber Jr as Burr was amazing. Darnell Abraham absolute perfection as Washington. I'm going to see the Show for a 3rd time later this year in New York, this will be my first time ever seeing it on Broadway and I cannot wait

[@hozierluver101]

Is he putting on an accent for this? Have only ever heard him sing on Whose Line. He's so talented

[@kriswoods7051]

Wow! He could do that part so we’ll.

[@hamiltonspen5656]

I loved this he's a great singer but all i could focus on was the fact he messed up the line "Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb" he sang a line from a little later instead but it was still amazing!

[@summerskandy5248]

😍😍😍😍😍 was this a concert or a play?

[@littleasianme10_4]

It was a concert.

[@aresef]

He and Christopher Jackson had a show.

[@nearandfarreborndolls7493]

He would be SO good as Aaron Burr! Broadway- take note!

[@depandyble]

I dont understand why the guy never made albums

[@Twistedelegancenc]

He has albums

[@Devz0r]

Is Wayne Brady gonna have to wait for it?

[@disableddragonborn]

I love Wayne, but did he fuck up the lyrics and sing "Hamilton's pace is relentless, he wastes no time" twice? I had to rewind and check because I know it's "Hamilton faces an endless uphill climb"...

[@mirandabee2323]

Yeah, he did. But you wouldn't know from how he carried himself in this video! Didn't even flinch, as far as I could tell.

[@disableddragonborn]

@@mirandabee2323 I love the song so much that it was impossible to miss.🤣

[@zbagz01]

Good catch. But there are so many words in this song! And they go by so fast! I was watching Brady sing and how enunciated every word - what an amazing performance.

[@disableddragonborn]

@@zbagz01 I'm such a fan that my senior yearbook quote was literally, "I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable, I am an original."

[@Hamiltons_in_the_Heights]

Yep you’re right. I was humming along and went “huh wtf” because I wasn’t expecting the lyric slip especially considering he was in the Chicago production for a while!

[@keranschexnayder-bohne5127]

Wow!!! The next ‘Burr’??

[@aresef]

A previous Burr. He did a stint in the Chicago production.

[@jazminjacobs4910]

He was already burr in Chicago!

[@Twistedelegancenc]

I love Wayne’s singing but sorry, he’s no Leslie Odom when it comes to playing Aaron Burr. I believe in making a character your own but Leslie one is a tough act to follow with his amazing performances and two Wayne doesn’t personify this character for me. He didn’t command it as Leslie did. Kudos for doing the Chicago shows and his amazing voice in his own right but I can see why he never did the Broadway renditions.

You not Leslie dude...
