“It’s the world’s biggest show. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Never seen rap and R&B at the forefront of a mainstage musical,” said Warren Egypt Franklin, who plays both Jefferson and Lafayette.
Pierre Jean Gonzalez, who plays Alexander Hamilton, says Cleveland is special to him because it’s where he first joined the production that’s become such a cultural phenomenon.
“It’s the music. It’s the story. You have the action you have the drama, the thrill, the scandal. You go through this ride. And not only that, you have beautiful black and brown people on stage singing their hearts out. It’s a show about American history, shown by America now,” Gonzalez said. “I think the main thing is it hits different groups of people. So, you have the musical theater buffs who want to see the hot new thing on Broadway. You also have history buffs, interested to see how this interpretation of history is presented to them. And then you have the people who are interested in rap music,” said Nikisha Williams, who plays Eliza Hamilton.
