Summary

Author Sam Wasson is back and talking all about the post-show daze after his first time seeing Hamilton (while revealing truths on the industry art of going backstage after a show), dives deep on the sticking power of great art, the good and bad feelings it can bring, the rituals we create to consume art, why a good movie musical adaptation is, and should be, different on the screen from what you've seen on the stage, and what's worth going to war for in the name of making something great.
