Everybody loves Satisfied. I listen to it religiously every single day.

[@myhextixmind8632]

I am in love with Renee Elise Goldsberry.

[@justanotherandomanon]

Laura Heywood is hands down one of the *best* interviewers I've ever watched. She always always does her research, so it's not just the same bloody questions we've heard a hundred times before. She makes her interviews feel like natural conversations, not just this list of questions she has to ask. I'm very glad she was the one who did the build series with the Hamilton cast!

[@BroadwayGirlNYC]

Thank you SO MUCH! This comment means the world to me!! - Laura

[@lynettemiller7912]

She really is! Ol' girl has INFORMATION when she sits down with her subject, surprises THEM when she brings it out, and then just chats -- and she lets THEM talk, while she listens. Loved her interview with Alex Lacamoire.

[@Happymali10]

They dropped it under the table, but: In "Satisfied" Renée pulls off the second fastest rap (as in, words per second) in theater history, beaten by "Guns and Ships" (also from Hamilton) by just about 0.3 Words.

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

Max S. really???? wow, no wonder I can't rap it well😂😂

[@Happymali10]

Carlos Alejandro Alvarenga You could look it up, there are list with the official "words per second/minute" of different musicals, and those two raps from Hamilton are at the very top. Lin has said that he has quite the respect for the two actors, since he wrote the rap-verses but couldn't hope to pull them off (reliably). Renée's is said to be harder, since it leaves less breaks to breathe.

[@lovelynia21]

Max S. Wows really I didn't know I could rap so fast

[@97LauraLee]

That is true, although Satisfied is a lot easier to rap than Guns and Ships, because of rather short words and less changes in rhythm. But I think these two parts from Satisfied are very challenging: "and the gossip in New York City is insideous" and "he's after me cause I'm a Schuyler Sister, that elevates his status..."

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

Laura H. No no no, it is easier to rap Guns and Ships because it flows more easily. In satisfied "What the heck is the catch" and "It's Ben Franklin with the key and the kite" and "The conversation lasted" and did you see his answer" "He's flying by the seat if his pants". all their are harder because the syllables don't flow as well as the Ines in Guns and Ships. It kinda knotss up your tongue, not like a tounge twister, but it just makes it go stiff

[@alhambralions5985]

How lucky we are to be alive right now! What a privilege it is to witness this phenomenally warm-hearted, talented, enthusiastic and humble woman create such a memorable character. Thank you for this series of interviews. The host is very empathetic and articulate.

[@BroadwayGirlNYC]

Glad you like me as an interviewer -- I work really hard to be prepared & go deep! :-)

[@thehopeofeden597]

To the one dislike: "I am slow to anger, but I must reply, as I reckon with the effects of your displaced like. I've looked for Renee's fail, and so far as I have checked, there's nothing in this video worth such disrespect"

[@shelbykellems4704]

Awsamazing Eden 10/10 would sing again

[@childofthelivinggod.]

😤👍 I 100% agree

[@imtheyellowflash]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@JonasAlmostFamous]

QUEEN

[@mollydale6014]

They won 11 tonys 😍😍😍😍😀😀😀😀 p.s love your channel

[@ezrab3363]

omg jona i love you!!!

[@kshirin0298]

JonasAlmostFamous I OOVE YOUR CHANNEL

[@obim9549]

*QUEENS

[@sophizoey]

Don't audition for another show. Just renew your Hamilton contract for life please.

[@nikkiu.2148]

Haha! I'm picturing a 75 year old Renée trying to perform Satisfied 30 years later 😂😂 (I'm sure she could tbh ✊👊)

[@Raquel96]

I absolutely love this interviewer, she really is like no other! I felt like I learned so much about Renee in this interview & I'm so grateful, she truly is amazing ❤️

[@graceschwegel1873]

Raquel She also interviewed Phillipa Soo and she definitely knew her stuff. She knows her stuff her too. Such a great interviewer.💗

[@graceschwegel1873]

Maybe I should say she knew her stuff in this interview too

[@i-am-a-fangirlbe_afraid2187]

When she was in Rent as Mimi my life was complete but then The Color Purple came and then Hamilton. I can die happy

[@caterinarua1783]

1, there is literally one dislike. To that person: Weehawken, Dawn. Guns. Drawn. And 2, HOW IN THE WORLD IS SHE FLIPPING 47. SHE LOOKS SO YOUNG AAAAH I'M FANGIRLING OVER MY CHILD RENEE

[@lagran470]

There's three now. You and me, Tag team?

[@mistafilms]

THANKYOU! As a person in the "acting industry" and eventually someone needs to say that just because you don't get in a performance doesn't mean you are a bad actor! Renee!! PREACH!

[@ShamirYukno]

I love that she is not cocky and arrogant! God bless her!

[@TheBraveIntrovert]

She will always be Evangeline to me, however I am so happy for her success! She's awesome.

[@knightleyemma]

This lady is AMAZING! WHY did it take SOOO long for the (wide) world to know her!? I recall her from ST universe & "The Good Wife" (saw 2 seasons so far), BUT she really WOWS on "Hamilton" cast recording!!!

[@TheBraveIntrovert]

OLTL...

[@shelbykellems4704]

She's not in Steven Universe...?

[@sundawg911]

I remember growing up and her being on a soap opera my mom used to watch. But I never realize how musically talented she was.

[@RukayaCesar]

I absolutely ADORE these interviews! Wish something similar in this way happened in the UK, all the marketing and interviews like this are done so differently (and so much better) in the Broadway world and it makes me sad for the West End. Thanks for being an awesome interviewer Laura!

[@BroadwayGirlNYC]

Thank YOU for your support! 💖💖💖 I'm starting to build up my own youtube channel too... if you are interested in more content from me! ☺️

[@StitchwithAish]

she is so well spoken omg i am in love with her

[@Kumikoete]

😒😒🤨🤔🙄

[@oltlfanfromreno]

as an old Oltl fan I have to say I did feel that way. I knew she was something special when I saw her sing all us fair in love to John on Oltl. and her scenes with Nora were so much fun.

[@spinalc0rds]

i need a video of renee's reaction if she goes to see karen olivo's angelica in chicago

[@roriestill6231]

I love her confidence.

[@Xxmilkshake202xX]

I first fell in love with her on One Life to Live and I’ve followed her ever since.

[@coletteprice3744]

She steals the show

[@RobinPoohG]

Please stay "as long as they'll have (you) and as long as (you) can pull it off"! Hope to see you when I go this December!!!

[@Koribaby1]

Yes, Shakespeare in the Park! I try to go every year.

[@roriestill6231]

I love this woman's spirit!

[@thierriasher4553]

I hope the original cast come to the uk

[@freedomm]

I could listen to her talk all day.

[@miss.phyllisreneefoster9547]

we love you Renee

[@cherjackson4542]

She is so beautiful and amazing!!

[@idkatthispoint4657]

DONT LEAVE

[@kandeecooks7309]

I loved her when she was on One Life to Live. Tika Sumpter played her sister on OLTL!

[@thearchitect5281]

Good God, is she a magical unicorn!!! Looooooove her!!!!

[@pamelamays4186]

Such a gracious lady.

[@chelsealevy8419]

[@Ispmachado]

[@selinabaumstark2947]

[@TheHoustonTraveler]

She is so inspirational!! Queen!

[@toonmili03]

This woman is so lovely.

[@sofielalice8317]

I truly really love her confidence!

[@johnstafford5110]

Welcome to the Motor City Renee and others SORRY FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO 👀 THE SHOW

[@nikkiclampitt]

You should also check out the song One Last Ride. Its an early version of One Last Time (with very different vibes) and it deals a bit with the Whiskey Rebellion. Being a history nerd myself, I would love to hear your thoughts about it. I love your videos! I came for the Hamilton stuff and stayed for everything else. Thanks so much for the videos.

[@trtlelola]

Who would have been the forgotten sister if Hamilton married Peggy?

[@thierriasher4553]

probably Eliza

[@trtlelola]

Yeah I think so too.

[@Xxmilkshake202xX]

Eliza.

[@lagran470]

Yeah, Eliza, or Cornnelia and the other sister( self evident)

[@irishdancinggiraffe6658]

Peggy died she was not forgotten. The Hamilton’s and Angelica were by her side when she died

[@nataliemartin1680]

LOVE her!!!

[@callybea]

She's so inspirational and real. I love her.

[@rosadiaz1739]

i loveee renée

[@bernettamorton3626]

Love you Renee! Have your poster in my living room. Would love to meet you one day! Congratulations on your accomplishments! 👏👏👏

[@OkieGal2]

@BroadwayGirlNYC I have loved all your Hamilton cast & creative team interviews. Your fan girling makes me s-m-i-l-e real big!

[@Yodi.]

First of all, she and Condola favor, but Renee definitely gives Phylicia Rashad vibes.

[@corimetteauer1901]

"until after I leave the show" now she's gone...

[@Mauri1132]

I love her

[@sarvgersten6807]

YAY

[@tiareynolds8442]

how is she 46

[@jogiesler5872]

Tia Reynolds i actually thought she was in her early 30s, she looks and sounds so young! i had to look it up

[@govcalif]

she just is.

[@sharonr.8840]

No way...

[@hannahwasylko6859]

"Opera-tunity"

[@stacywells5366]

What a blessing to hear her glorify God!

[@lanicemason9088]

I feel like Renée and Audra would be great in a Broadway show together I ❤ them both

[@Nicole-nq4cn]

Renee is soo sweet

[@user-go4xi4lz2r]

I know her in The Good Wife as Geneva Pine

[@kenziea484]

WORK!

[@Biamazing]

10:22 - 10:45 This is so inspirational. I just love her so muuchhh (and basically everyone from the cast as well) They're all such adorable cinnamon buns that's too good for this world

[@BlackGothGirl1]

She was in Lion King? I love that musical😱

[@daniellemarshall3251]

God bless you ALL in the name of Jesus!!!!

[@brownro48]

She was 45 when she did this interview! 45! Forty freaking five! I thought she was like 25 this whole time!!!

[@ashdotty868]

do you know what I mean

[@kiarathemonarch]

Renee is so humble! In the beginning, she was like you guys aren’t seat fillers? You’re actually here to see me? Ughhh why can’t other people be so humble!!

[@rushatichowdhury417]

The 1 dislike is from Burr.

[@alysoup4dasoul502]

I'm totally striving to take her job soon lol not even jk

[@i-am-a-fangirlbe_afraid2187]

1) I love the webtoon I Love Yoo 2) Wish you the best of luck😊

[@tanyenomichelle7021]

Join her. And wish you the best!! Stay safe. xo

[@lucinda2329]

❤️ ~✿~❧~✿~❧~✿~ ❤️

[@pamelamays4186]

I can just see REG as Velma Kelly.

[@alyburr6645]

ohhhh... I always thought George Washington said "I'm gonna die in need of assistance" in right hand man

[@Freeme2bme]

Renee Elise Goldsberry; What a pro to handle with such grace and wit such an rude interviewer

[@ShamirYukno]

How does the lead in clip feature not focus on Angelica? She has multiple solos in Hamilton and this clip picked focused on Eliza. Boo!

[@Xxmilkshake202xX]

The two dislikes: Peggy and Burr.

[@felixcatta7501]

Sometimes she looks a little bit like an adult version of my friend lol!!

[@christopherhamilton8689]

Renee needs to understand that Alexander Hamilton was simply another American Napoleonic figure, that had his enemies. But his legacy, and influence are still true, to this day.

[@sanchitac7947]

i love her, but she talks too much. this is why I love Lin's interviews. he is so eloquent
