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

Bootsing, cuts in, buzzing.

Hello everyone, welcome back to The Hamilkast. I'm Jillian, and today I am here with Simon

Anthony Rodin. Hi. Hello. How are you? I'm very well. Thank you very much. Thanks for having me back.

Of course, thanks for wanting to come back. Before we go any further, can you just

remind everyone of your pronouns, please? So I am he, him, and yes, that's it. Thank you very much.

So yeah, everyone, you know Simon from my big London cast recording. I keep calling it a cast

recording. It's not a cast recording in the musical theater world, and we just had a party in London

and had that sort of what happened. A lot of alcohol. Thank you so much for coming back. A lot of

people who are at that party are coming back to have their own solo deep dives, and I love that

so much so we kind of get the best of both worlds. So thank you. We have to tell the people what

happened. So when we logged on, I, someone else was in the room, so to speak. So tell, please tell

that story before we continue. So, well, I mean, so I just thought this is going to be a pretty

straightforward, you know, interview essentially, and then I realized there was a lot of like

information that came with it, and I was like, I don't, I'm not tech savvy whatsoever. So I asked my

good friend Rubin Joseph to help me out, and so I'm literally in his flat doing this podcast,

and I introduced you to him at the beginning of the session. Yeah. Rubin Joseph is playing Hamilton

right now in the West End. Yes. Yeah. Very, very nice. And yeah, so expect, I never say this, but like

expect an episode soon. Hopefully we can get it together and try to sit down. So yeah, Simon,

look, I want to hear everything about you. I loved everything you had to say. I loved your

performance, and I really just want to take like a deep dot, you know, like currently, I'll throw

your resume out a little bit. Currently, Aaron Burr in the West End, previously Lola and Kinky
