Alright, dear listeners, get ready for an absolutely bananas episode of The Hamilcast. Fergie L. Philippe, my lovely friend, is rounding out his big return to the podcast aka our booze-fueled lovefest.
This week, Fergie dives more into his experience with Camelot on Broadway: his audition process, his stage combat experiences, and his big dream of bringing the lost Muppets in Camelot idea to life. Plus, Fergie goes in on why Sweeney Todd is his favorite show of all time and his ultimate dream role.
We round out this episode talking about ADHD, neurodiversity, the importance of therapy, more Hamilton discussion, and Fergie gives his expert opinion on how to plan the perfect Disney vacation.
It's been a blast hanging with Fergie for these episodes and I hope you had as much fun as we did.
Catch up with all things Fergie:
#107: We tell your story // Part One
#108: We tell your story // Part Two
#129: I came as soon as I heard // #LasVegust Part One
#300: James Monroe Iglehart and Friends Take Over the Podcast to Celebrate 300 Episodes!

0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Stage and Stage's Lynn Menwell Miranda and you're listening to The Hamlet Cast. |
0:05.2 | Bootsing, cuts and bussing. |
0:18.0 | Hello friends, welcome back to The Hamlet Cast. |
0:19.7 | I'm Jillian and this is the third and final episode of Fergie Philippe's long-awaited return |
0:24.4 | to the podcast. Over the last two weeks, we've been all over the map. Fergie reflected on |
0:28.4 | stepping away from his role as Mulligan Madison after being with Hamilton for five years. |
0:32.3 | But if you think about it, the story starts long before that when you consider he was a fan of |
0:35.8 | the show since it was at the public, and he was tweeting at the creatives, as well as this very |
0:39.6 | podcast, talking about how he'd be in it one day. He started Hamilton in 2018 as a full stop |
0:44.6 | Mulligan, and in 2023, he walked away from it very much in Madison. That got us talking about |
0:49.4 | how the context of the show continues to evolve. The world is always changing and the way we perceive |
0:53.7 | art is going to change with it. And while Hamilton started a lot of conversations we weren't having |
0:57.5 | back in 2016, it's led to an even bigger and more layered dialogue about race, |
1:01.5 | privilege, and systemic issues that still need to be addressed. Part of that, not all of it, |
1:05.6 | but part of it, is how performers are treated. So Fergie walked us through the different types of |
1:09.7 | contracts and the ongoing negotiations with the unions, which of course led us to the writer's |
1:13.9 | strike. And because we are two very enthusiastic neurodivergent people talking into microphones, |
1:18.7 | we also laughed a lot and covered a lot of ground. It's been a wild ride, and as I assured you |
1:23.0 | last week, this is a very fun, very frenetic episode. Do we have the ever-clear in the whiskey |
1:27.7 | to blame? Perhaps. Is it because we were just so excited to do this and catch up? Absolutely. |
1:33.2 | But yeah, I mean, the ever-clear in the whiskey undeniably played a part in this. Let's get |
1:36.8 | real. All this to say, I really hope you've enjoyed these episodes as much as I have. And at the |
