Summary
Welcome back to another episode of the neurospicy hour, my friends! Jordan Frazier (Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton's West End production) is back to infuse equal parts energy and love into your podcast feed. This week, Jordan talks about sailing off to London and navigating auditions, her visa situation, and the eventual COVID lockdown. She will eventually find an apartment she loves (hello Brixton!) and start her Hamilton adventure, where she was originally Woman 5 (covering Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy Schuyler) and after a few years of being a cover, a standby, and leaving the show three times, she lands Angelica Schuyler full time.
Jordan also talks about her two vocal cord injuries including how she came back stronger than ever, and why vocal health should be taught in schools all over the world. Plus, Jordan takes questions from the Patreon Peeps and tells us the causes she's passionate about, the things she's hyperfocusing on at the moment, the importance of humility on stage, the difference between loving and living love, and why she wants everyone to have their own vine and fig tree.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Stage and Stages Lin Manuel Miranda, and you're listening to The Hamilcast. |
| 0:05.1 | Butts and cuts and, and boots and... Hello friends I'm Jillian and welcome back to the Hamelcast and this is yet another |
| 0:22.4 | addition of the neurospicy Hour. |
| 0:25.0 | This week I'm wrapping up with Jordan Frazier. |
| 0:27.1 | Hailing from North Carolina Jordan is currently Angelica Skyler and Hamilton's West End company. |
| 0:32.1 | A really compelling thing about Jordan is that she always knew she was an artist, |
| 0:35.3 | a multi-hiphon it, as they say. |
| 0:37.2 | When she was growing up, she leaned into everything she was interested in |
| 0:39.7 | as these cool things presented themselves to her, like music production or acting or |
| 0:43.8 | dancing or songwriting or filmmaking or musical theater or whatever. She said |
| 0:48.0 | yes to everything and that's how she found her path. She was actually totally |
| 0:51.4 | turned off from musical theater for a while and if you heard her |
| 0:53.7 | explain it last week you can completely understand why. |
| 0:56.9 | At college Jordan wasn't really given a chance to explore her potential due to what she describes |
| 1:01.0 | as a lot of favoritism and politics. |
| 1:03.4 | In other words, the same people kept getting the lead roles over and over again, and it was beyond |
| 1:07.4 | frustrating. |
| 1:08.7 | The program took up all of her time, so not only did it hinder her social life, |
| 1:12.0 | making it super lonely, she wasn't even able to fully do what she was there to do. |
| 1:16.0 | And on top of that, Jordan also talks about her journey as a black woman in the entertainment industry |
| 1:20.0 | and how she learned to fight against being typecast. |
| 1:22.0 | I'm not going to speak for Jordan, so please go back and listen to her first episode if you haven't already. |
