Summary

Kimberly "Kimmie" Mark was gracious enough to invite me to the Richard Rodgers Theatre to tell me all about what it's like to be what is known as a Star Dresser on Broadway for 19 years, dressing stars like Alan Cumming, Raul Esparza, and Leslie Odom Jr. (who brought her to Hamilton). Currently, Kimmie dresses George Washington and Aaron Burr and is easily one of the nicest, coolest people in the world. Take a listen and learn all about how Kimmie became a dresser, tons of behind-the-scenes details about Hamilton, why being assigned to Leslie Odom Jr. was a "dream come true," and how she hasn't actually SEEN Hamilton.

0:00.0	Hey Hamfam, this is Jillian. There are two things you need to know before you dive into today's episode.
0:08.5	Number one, this was recorded at the Richard Rogers Theater.
0:12.0	I know, I'm still not over it.
0:13.3	I was there to hang out with Kimmy Mark,
0:14.7	who's what's called a star dresser.
0:16.4	She's the dresser for both George Washington and Aaron Burr.
0:19.2	Here's the thing.
0:20.2	I was so distracted sitting in the seats of the theater, looking at the stage,
0:23.8	literally being in the room where it happens, that I forgot to tell you that.
0:27.8	We talk about what it's like dressing Washington and Burr, but in my excitement I
0:31.0	definitely did not say that after I started recording.
0:33.7	So I want to clear that up and remind you to listen to Nick Walker's episodes, 60 and 61,
0:38.4	and Gregory Trico's episodes 74 and 75 because they sing Kimmy's well-deserved praises.
0:43.6	Number two, remember way back in episode nine
0:46.2	when we spoke to Scott Wasserman,
0:47.9	the Ableton programmer for Hamilton,
0:49.6	but I kept calling him the Beat Master
0:51.3	because he was in charge of all the sounds the orchestra can't make, like the record
0:54.4	scratches and the rewind and satisfied. Right, he mentioned his podcast, Song Salad, and I wanted to let you guys know that it's still going strong
1:01.6	and you should totally listen to it.
1:03.0	Scott and Shannon are going to tell you a little bit more about the
1:05.4	podcast and then enjoy my chat with Kimmy Mark.
