This illustration represents two of my favorite things: fashion, and Hamilton.
Actually, it’s been a pretty long time that I wanted to draw a Hamilton piece. I’ve been obsessed with this musical for months, I almost felt like being a teenager again. It sometimes makes me regret not to live in NYC.
I’m living in Paris, and even if it’s where Les Misérables were born, well, musicals are not really… trendy here. Or as good as Broadway’s.
I felt like my contribution would be pointless. But whatever happens, I just have to create whatever the heck makes me happy (and well, if it makes you happy too, then I would be blessed).
How perfect were these three in their gowns performing this iconic song at the Tonys ?
Hamilton,@linmanuel , thank you to infinity and beyond for bringing so much joy, inclusiveness and positivity into this world. I’ll always do my best to do so. (Even if it’s with scrappy drawings).
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA Plays: Alexander Hamilton Hometown: New York, NY You might know her from: Broadway’s In the Heights On how this crazy idea came to him: “I wasn’t a history buff—not even a little—but I was always an English nerd. I picked up Ron Chernow’s biography of Hamilton randomly at Borders. I knew he died in a duel, so it’d have a cool ending. And I just fell in love with his story.” Confession: “Hillary Clinton came to see In the Heights in 2009. I used to walk around in my underwear backstage between shows, and I come out of my dressing room and there’s Hillary with three Secret Service guys because she needed to use the bathroom. She said, ‘Show’s great!’ and I ran inside to put some clothes on.”
LESLIE ODOM JR. Plays: Aaron Burr Hometown: Philadelphia, PA You might know him from: NBC’s Smash Post-show ritual: “Lin and I made up a stupid song that we sing at the top of our lungs as we leave the stage. Then we have a shot of rum in the dressing room, and I’ll grab a dollar slice on my way home.” If I weren’t an actor I’d be…“I wish I could say that I would be feeding the hungry or something. But I’ve always liked to throw parties, so I’d be a world- renowned DJ who gets flown all over the place for parties on yachts and in underground clubs.”
JONATHAN GROFF Plays: King George Hometown: Lancaster, PA You might know him from: Glee, Frozen (voice of Kristoff) First role: “I was Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz in my dad’s barn. I was a drag Dorothy.” Dream costar: “I’d love to do a play with Cate Blanchett. I saw her in A Streetcar Named Desire, and it’s my favorite performance ever.” Confession: “I was on a first date, maybe a year and a half ago. We ate dinner, then he came back to my apartment, and I don’t smoke, but he smoked a cigarette. We were making out, and he’s smoking. So I took a cigarette and also smoked it, and then five minutes later, I projectile vomited because I got so nauseous from smoking. That’s probably the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened.”
