00:00How special is it to be back here, especially with the 10-year Hamilton anniversary?

00:04It's amazing.

00:06Good shows open every single year, but you'd be hard-pressed if you spun the block

00:11to find any of them that are still occupying the same theater 10 years later.

00:15We really know how lucky we are.

00:18We have lightning in a bottle with this show.

00:20And reuniting with everyone, what was that like kind of coming back?

00:23I heard the rehearsals was yesterday, I believe?

00:25Yeah, I will never forget the big bear hug that I walked into right off the plane from L.A.

00:31I walked into a big bear hug from just 30 of my nearest and dearest, and that's what it is.

00:38It's this experience that only we had, you know, building this thing and hoping that people would like it

00:46and being, you know, worried, of course, but, you know, to look back on how far we've come,

00:54and it's just extraordinary.

00:56And you're making your Hamilton return.

00:58Why is now the perfect time for that?

01:01I mean, I didn't have kids the first time around.

01:04Now I've got an 8-year-old and a 4-year-old.

01:07There was a talk of a one-night-only concert that kind of fell through,

01:11and so this is the next best thing.

01:13We get to go in for a few weeks and try it on for size again.
