Leslie Odom Jr. reveals how he became Aaron Burr in Hamilton, the preparation, the pressure, and why hip-hop made history on Broadway. Joined by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Kail, they break down how a $10 founding father rewrote the American musical — from Burr’s humanity to the immigrant drive that shaped the show’s sound.
