Hi, I'm Stage and Stages Lin Manuel Miranda, and you're listening to The Hamilcast.

Butts and cuts and, and boots and... Hello everyone welcome back to the hamelcast I'm Jillian and you're listening to the

second half of my chat with

Hamilton Broadway's Deontay Goodman.

Deontay is a member of the Ensemble and he covers George Washington, Mulligan, Madison,

and Aaron Burr.

Look, Deontay and I are all over the map in this conversation, and I say that in the best way,

but you're probably going to want to listen to episode 205 to get all the context of what we're talking about.

That's where you can hear about his opera training, his Hamilton audition story,

meeting DeVy Diggs on Lafayette Street.

There's also talk of Bayard a new musical as well as the Freedom Writers musical he was in.

Plus, Deontay has some fantastic things to say about art, the evolution of art, race, privilege, what it means to have an

open mind. Yeah, we just really go in on a lot of things and it was so, so great. But if you're

ready for it, and I'm not sure you are, Deontay continues the story of his Hamilton journey

and then gives some incredible insight into the roles he plays.

I'm so excited for you.

All right, here we go.

Okay, wait, so then they were like, can you make it to Broadway and you were like, wait now?

Yeah.

Yeah, it was, yeah, like today.

This minute?

I actually, well, it's so funny because I actually did like I went to go see the show like that evening.
