00:00What is it like to be here and kind of reuniting on the Tony's carpet?
00:04It's real fun.
00:06It's a fever dream. It's a fever dream.
00:08I mean, it just feels so surreal, and my face hurts from...
00:13We've been laughing for three days straight.
00:15It's amazing. It's amazing.
00:17Ten years since Hamilton.
00:20When you think back on that first night to now,
00:24can you even wrap your head around how much this show has meant to everyone?
00:30I mean, it's unbelievable.
00:31I think we're all still trying to grapple with it and understand it,
00:34and I'm thankful every day.
00:39It was such a singular, remarkable, life-changing experience
00:44that none of us saw coming.
00:47And it's changed all of our lives.
00:49And it also, for me, the most important thing
00:52is that it brought the most incredible people into my life.
00:55I have 28 unbelievable friends, and then some,
00:59because that's just the original Broadway cast.
01:01And then we had people join, and then the Chicago company,
01:03and then the tour, and it's just put the most amazing people in my life,
01:08and that is the biggest takeaway for me.
01:11Yes. I mean, it brought this person in my life.
01:13So, obviously, if it had done nothing else, that's it.
01:17But it is crazy to think about,
01:19because you don't think about it on the daily.
01:21But there are people who we met in this show,
01:23in our house, every day.
01:24Yeah, literally every day.
01:26We can't get Andrew to leave our house.
01:29So tell me about the rehearsal process.
01:33Is this the first time that you guys have all been reunited,
01:36not just publicly, but personally having everyone together?
01:39Oh, yeah.
01:39They scheduled a three-hour rehearsal for us to learn
01:42nowhere near three hours' worth of music,
01:45because they knew it would take forever.
01:46And it did.
01:47It took all three hours, and then some.
01:49Because we, it's a big, it's a family reunion.
01:51It feels like a ten-year high school reunion.
01:55Well, a lot of people have been calling this season of Broadway
01:59just so thrilling.
02:00What makes this season so special?
02:03I think there's so many different stories being told,
02:06which is so exciting.
02:07And I think there's so many new faces on Broadway,
02:10and so much new, fresh talent, as well as, I mean, Audra.
02:14It's just like, I think it's such a collaboration
02:17of so many generations, and I think that's really beautiful.
02:21And what can you tease about this performance
02:23that we will all see tonight?
02:25Nothing.
02:25It's foreign to see.
02:26We've signed NDA.
02:27No, we haven't.
02:27I barely know it at this point,
02:29so even if I wanted to, I couldn't tell you.
