Despite the immediate success and excited buzz that surrounded HAMILTON when it was previewing at the Public Theater, author/star Lin-Manuel Miranda made no secret of the fact that the hottest ticket in town was still a work in progress and that he would occasionally skip performances so he could watch the show from the audience in order to make revisions.
Today on Twitter, set designer David Korins posts a photo of a reflecting pool that was used during previews, but eventually cut.
