Gregory Treco is in the room where the podcast happens, friends! As the cover for Burr/Washington (and now Lafayette/Jefferson!) in Hamilton on Broadway, Gregory has a unique perspective on the roles and tells us why they are equally challenging and rewarding. We also get some fun details like how G.Wash's sword has a mind of its own, how one scene in The Room Where It Happens occurs three times (I KNOW), and the sage advice he got from his very dear friend Leslie Odom Jr. Oh, and Gregory and Gillian share a mutual love of Your Obedient Servant, so that's fun!
Happy Pride! We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with GLAAD to help spread pride, love, and awareness not just during Pride Month but everyday of the year! Friends of the show and past guests, Zeke Stokes (VP of Programming at GLAAD) and Carrie-Rachel Dean (Events Manager at GLAAD) drop knowledge about the Together Movement. Ya know those ampersand pins you saw everyone wearing at the Tony Awards? That was for the Together Campaign! We talk about the importance of telling your story from the Revolution to the Resistance. And of course we do a quick Tony recap because we're not monsters.

Gregory Haney is back this week talking about Snapchat filters, making us laugh about his Hamilton friendships, and swooning over his adorable pup Winston. He also gives great advice about stage door etiquette and how to present your best self at auditions - or in life.
Hamilton's Gregory Haney is on the podcast this week and we are thrilled to have him! Gregory tells us what it's like playing some of the grimiest characters in the show: James Reynolds, Charles Lee, and George Eacker. We also talk to Gregory about his experience as La Cienega, Broadway's first transgender high school student in Bring It On, and he dishes about being in Grease Live! Not to mention the fact that he WON GLOBAL GUTS ON NICKELODEON WHEN HE WAS 13 YEARS OLD NBD.
