Super Swing Andrew Chappelle is going on for King George III in Hamilton on Broadway for the first time for tonight's performance. After this, Chappelle will have gone on for almost every single track he covers-including Laurens/Phillip, Lafayette/Jefferson, and Mulligan/Madison. The only track left for the actor is that of Aaron Burr, the role that earned Leslie Odom Jr. a Tony Award this past year.
HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, as told by America now.
Check out social media sneak peeks of Chappelle as King George-including a screenshot of a text he sent to Jonathan Groff-below!
