On Thursday night's episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, Corden welcomes guests Leslie Odom Jr. Zazie Beetz, and Edward Norton, who is a super fan of "Hamilton."

Norton reveals he's seen Odom Jr. perform in Hamilton four times, including his last ever performance as Aaron Burr. Corden then asks Odom Jr. about the pressure that comes with a musical that so many fans know the lyrics, and Leslie reveals that early in the run at the Public he'd forget lines, so he had stage managers put the lyrics up backstage in every wing in case he forgot.

Odom Jr. then moves from the couch to the Stage 56 performance area to sing "Go Crazy" off his new album.
