Summary

I hope you're ready to do a deep dive on Angelica like never before, because Ava Brennan returns for the second half of our chat and is about to change your LIFE! Ava walks us through booking Hamilton and then lets us in on her emotional journey to capture the heartbreak and sacrifice of Angelica Schuyler. That experience led her to Fantine in Les Miserables and Ava discusses the similarities, difficulties, and triumphs of both roles.
