Daveed is a pretty well known underground rapper. So I doubt he was that desperate. Lin actually chose Daveed to audition. Daveed wasnt even thinking of doing theatre. He was probably nervous but he was actually chosen by lin to play the part.

I literally can't believe that THE Angelica Schuyler isn't getting any of the roles she auditions for post-Hamilton. Have you SEEN her?! She sings like both an angel AND a badass, she is passionate, an amazing actress and that woman can DANCE in those PERIOD DRESSES AND SHOES?! Bruh the live acting world is WHACK for not hiring her

[@ryanrabito1379]

A crying shame!

[@icylynx6067]

She’s in Altered Carbon with Anthony Mackie and a movie set in the fifties or something like that!

[@dinothegonzo]

Yeah, she played Quell. She's part of the main cast. And even if the old Takeshi actor didn't reprise his role, Renee Elise Goldsberry still was on season 2.

[@KiarashadeW]

I just saw her on Zoeys Extraordinary playlist!! A few eps

[@grantmalone]

8:59 I'm surprised she says of acting roles that "you get what you're supposed to have." Not exactly the message of the times with marginalised groups across the entertainment industries (and far beyond) pushing for fair representation. And unfortunately being "prayerful" isn't going to change anything, except provide comfort that every lost role was divine will.

[@cindyf460]

Not trying to prove you wrong or anything, just wanting to share a bit of what I've recently learned which no one will listen to since I have no hamilfan friends... :) A. Hamilton himself didn't actually own any slaves and he supported the abolitionist movement. Still, in the time that he practiced law, there were cases where slaves had to be moved between owners, etc. that he was involved in. Also, his mother did own 2 slaves which he did not inherit due to his being conceived out of wedlock. Hope you found this interesting! I'm a huge nerd lol 😅😂

[@jillianjkiss]

Cindy F he actually became abolishionist later in life. He traded slaves for other people even though he didn’t technically own any himself

[@mageofdoomsie1598]

Cindy F he bought and gave slaves to his in-laws and almost inherited slaves when his mother passed, but since he was illegitimate he wasn’t allowed to have them. It was only until later in his life did he start advocating for the freedom of slaves.

[@gordonramsayslambsauce]

A lot of the real people played in the musical here were white slave owners/traders (most, in fact), but they did their best to tone down the racism but still acknowledge it, which I think was really powerful. I'm just glad they didn't ignore it or pretend it didn't happen.

I don’t know about anyone else, but my favorite scene was Phillip’s death because Alexander and Eliza are holding him and hushing him, singing with him, and I realized that yes it was acting, but a real person had to go through that and it completely changed my perspective on the founding fathers’ lives. I think one of the cast members (I think Daveed) said that we learn about them as statues and often forget that they were young men like us living sometimes very tragic lives. Also, I always thought Eliza’s gasp at the end was a combination of grief for her husband and a worry if she has done her part that she will be able to make a difference and make Alexander’s legacy last.
