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

Butts and cuts and poos and... Hey everyone. Welcome back to the Howlcast. I'm Jillian and this is my second episode with Billy Nevers.

Billy is currently in the UK Ireland tour of Hamilton playing Lafayette Jefferson and Aaron Burr.

And just to be clear, he's not a swing.

Billy is 100% Lof Jeff.

He's the dude in the playbill. that's who he is on the website, all that.

But if Aaron Burr is out and his standby is also out, then Billy will cover Aaron Burr.

It's pretty rad and also pretty unheard of.

Last week's episode ended with Billy talking about performing Jesus Christ

superstar at an outdoor theater in the summer of 2020 and all the work that went into

that unprecedented and maskless production.

This week Billy dives into End JulietJuliette, Legally Blond,

booking Lafayette Jefferson, and the fateful phone call

where he was asked a very loaded question.

How do you feel about Aaron Burr?

Here's episode two with Billy Nevers.

And then from there I just, with luck started to just roll in for me like I was thinking about Stuart Bert, who cast Ann Juliet, he then got in contact one day and was like I'm casting NBC's live production of

the Grinch we need we need ensemble can you just come and do it?

I was like, yeah, great, I'll do it, I'll do it.

Then we did that and that was like three months of a job

of filming and rehearsing that.

So I really was so genuinely grateful
