As previously announced, two-time Tony Award nominee Joshua Henry will lead the Chicago company of Hamilton as 'Aaron Burr', starting next month. Over the weekend, he posted a beautiful remix of "The Reynolds Pamphlet" from the musical, and you can check it out below, plus weigh in on which tune he should remix next!
Henry, who made his Broadway debut in IN THE HEIGHTS, received Tony Award nominations for his roles in VIOLET and THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS and just concluded the Broadway run of SHUFFLE ALONG where he created the role of 'Noble Sissle'. The actor recently filmed a starring role in the Luc Besson action-thriller THE LAKE opposite J.K. Simmons and Sullivan Stapleton, which will premiere worldwide in January of 2017. His other film and television credits include SEX AND THE CITY THE MOVIE, WINTER'S TALE, and Season 7 of ARMY WIVES.
With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler, music direction/orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The musical won eleven 2016 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Score, Book of a Musical, Direction of a Musical, Choreography and Orchestrations. Mr. Miranda received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Hamilton.
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, told by America now.
