I learned a lot by watching this. I haven't ever listened to the Hamilton music before. I am putting in a lot of time listening to the background and watching Interviews before I listen to the music, so I know what to listen for and pay attention to when I listed to the soundtrack/recording. Thank you for sharing this.
What a wonderful evening with Ron and Oskar. Wow! Thank you, Rebecca, for your willingness to prompt yet not dominate the evening. How exciting to hear the grass root decision making on Hamilton, the musical. This is the second time I have watched this interview and I am hearing new details that I missed and so enjoying the entire hour.
31:40 - Actually, I don't know that Ron is correct there. Lin says in the Hamiltome during his "Take a Break" annotations, and on twitter, that the comma idea comes from actual correspondence between Angelica and Hamilton- in French, no less! "'Adieu ma chere, soeur'-Hamilton, in a letter to sister-in-law Angelica 12/6/1787 See how he puts the comma after MA CHERE? #COMMASEXTING" -Lin's twitter, 8:46 AM - 15 Apr 2015
And earlier in that letter he calls her out for doing that same thing in her previous letter ('Indeed my dear, Sir', see founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-04-02-0144). So his sign off is a joke, and SHE started it.
2024 and loving this conversation even more, so much appreciation for the writer, the producer, Hamilton and even Lin Manuel.

So informative and wonderful
Great interview on how Artistic director, Oskar Eustis happened to work on 'Hamilton' the Broadway masterpiece. It all started in Brooklyn!

Without Chernow, Lin would have never of had the material for Hamilton.
"You punched the bursar?" "Hello, Burr, sir." Ah! Very good pun. I never caught that before. That was a nice bit of insight.
I never got that either. how cool.
Lin is the best
12:30 Great point!
