5. Backstage and Front of House

Hamilton and Us with Giles Terera

Step behind the scenes of the Victoria Palace Theatre in this very special episode, as host Giles Terera is joined by some of the brilliant Backstage and Front of House team who helped make the original London production of Hamilton such a massive, multi-award-winning success: Katy Bryant (Company Manager), Olivia Cass (Front of House), Heather Teasdale (formerly Deputy Stage Manager, and now Stage Manager), and Sharon Williams (Head of Wardrobe).
Tune in to hear all about their fascinating, essential roles, find out how to tell if you've got a coffee problem, and learn which Hamilton cast member was sometimes deliberately told it was later than it was in the hope that they'd actually be ready for the start of the show. Plus, listen with bated breath as this week's guests compete for a money-can't-buy prize – Giles' potted cactus – by sharing their stories of what they were doing at a particular moment during the iconic song 'Wait For It'...
Hamilton and Me: An Actor's Journal by Giles Terera – his account of researching, rehearsing and performing as Aaron Burr in the original London production of smash-hit musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda – is published on 1 July by Nick Hern Books.
