It was a very emotional moment for the artists as they sang together in Hammerstein's home in Bucks County.
On Wednesday, cast members visited the historic home of Oscar Hammerstein in Doylestown."Hearing our voices bounce around these walls, and knowing what was written in this house, this was inspiration," says Krystina Alabado, who plays "Susan" in "Tick, Tick... Boom!"
"Just thinking about the legacy of all of the shows and songs and the things that we used to sing as kids, it was pretty powerful," added Alabado.Hammerstein was one of Sondheim's mentors."Tick, Tick... Boom!" is Larson's life story. "Tick, Tick... Boom! is a great reminder that these great pieces of art don't just spring fully formed into the world," says Andy Mientus, who plays "Jonathan Larson."
"Rent didn't just happen. Someone agonized over writing it and it really almost didn't make it. I'm sure Stephen Sondheim had similar moments. I'm sure Oscar Hammerstein had similar moments. Being here in the Oscar Hammerstein house, it's just a really potent reminder that these artists, these giants of our field, were real people," added Mientus.
The Oscar Hammerstein Museum and Theater Education Center at Highland Farm are currently raising funds to save the house.
