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

Bootsing, cut-sum-pussing.

Hello friends, welcome back to The Hamilkast.

I'm Jillian, and we're picking up where we left off last week with Hamilton London's original

burr, an author of the new book, Hamilton and Me, Giles Tarara.

And look, you know the drill.

If you missed last week's episode, go back and check that one out before you dive into this one.

Among other things, Giles talks about seeing Hamilton for the first time,

winning his Olivier Award for Aaron Burr, and how the book came to be.

So if you're all set, let's do it.

Here's part two of my conversation with Giles.

I love also the ever-present ready from lack.

So when you read the book, because you know Burr starts the show, and Alex Lackamore,

you write so many times, and I even wrote my notes.

I was like, it's ever-present.

I love it so much.

And Lack would look at you and say, ready, which is the most loaded question.

Yeah.

Really?

It's like, it's a courtesy, but it's also like, I don't know, am I?

Yeah, totally, totally.

Lack was the first person that I met in this whole gig.
