Summary

As we wrap up our chat, Cherry Torres (currently Hamilton on Broadway, previously the Angelica Tour) drops the curly hair routine, tells me about her passion for teaching, explains why she loves Eliza's "Lord of the Rings" robe so much, and she's taking questions from the Patreon Peeps (many of whom have seen her in the show)!

Plus, Cherry talks about the unforgettable experience starring in Evita in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She was able to perform in a place that means so much to her with her friends and family in the audience... including her Grammy Award winning legend of a grandfather, Wisón Torres!

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Stage and Stages Lin Manuel Miranda, and you're listening to The Hamilcast.

0:42.8	And listening back to these episodes,
0:44.4	it really stuck out to me how pointless it is
0:46.5	to try to fight the universe.
0:48.0	It might sound crazy to you, but think about it.
0:50.1	Cherry was born in Puerto Rico and was devastated
0:52.3	when she didn't book Hamilton PR.
0:53.7	It affected her so much she stopped listening to the cast album and she loved that cast album.

1:01.2	But she doesn't get to perform there because she gets the call to make
1:03.4	her Broadway debut in Hamilton. And now in this very episode you're going to hear
1:07.0	about how she took a break from Hamilton on Broadway to stars Ava Perone and San Juan,
1:10.8	where she performed in her hometown that meant so much to her with her friends and family in the room.
