Aaron Burr, sir, has been busy too! Listen to a song off of his latest album, Mr., titled "Go Crazy."

America is waking up. This great nation is realizing we must dismantle the systems not serving every American and address the systemic racism responsible for taking innocent Black men and women from their families. It is time for real sustainable change and the only way to do it, is to march side by side with people of all colors and backgrounds. What made our show great wasn't us as individuals, but our collective, passionate voices as artists. We made history, and we did it together. As a cast we've formed a coalition dedicated to speaking out for the unheard voices. Join us to change the course of history. It starts today. It starts with you. We are #HAM4CHANGE. On August 1st, 9th and 15th we will be partnering with @loopedlive to raise money and get us to 1 million dollars donated to organizations like (name one of the 9). Hang with us, get all the backstage info, even schedule a 1-on-1 meet and greet. We've also teamed up with Michelle Obama's @whenweallvote to get out the importance of your vote. @hamiltonmusical #hamilton

Carleigh Bettiol
Carleigh's most recent Broadway bow was as an ensemble member and understudy for Babe in The Cher Show.
"Being a Goddess Warrior isn't NOT being scared. It is being shit scared and facing it anyway, and the strength to do that, to run your own show, well, that's gotta come from you." . "See what happens when you high kick fear in the butt?" . Those two lines (written by Rick Elice for our show and brilliantly said by @stephaniejblock ) resonated SO HARD with me on Wednesday, July 31. I was terrified to go on as Babe. I didn't want to do it. I considered leaving the show in order to get out of having to do it. That's how scared of it I was. But then I had to do it. And let me tell you, I AM SO HAPPY that I did. I am so grateful. Honored. I'm beyond proud of myself. I'm moved by the kindness, love, and support I received from the cast and crew. I conquered a great fear and not only surprised myself with how I tackled it, but had fun!!!! The journey with this show wouldn't have been complete for me without doing this. Thank you to everyone who believed/believes in me. I can't express enough how grateful I am. #broadway #principal #og #cher
