To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Hamilton, original Hamilton cast member Thayne Jasperson recently visited Good Morning America, where he spoke about the long-lasting legacy of the Broadway hit.
During the conversation, the Jasperson reflected on the recent 10th anniversary performance, which saw former cast members and Lin-Manuel Miranda himself in attendance. "When I came out to do my bit, I didn't expect anything. I thought maybe I'll get a hoot and a holler from the OG cast, but then suddenly everybody started screaming and standing up," recalled the performer. "I'm trying to sing, and yet I'm crying and I'm laughing... It was like this feeling of love and support that I've never felt before."
Jasperson is the last original cast member still starring in the ongoing Broadway production, and credits his longevity to Hamilton being a well-written show and the opportunity to continue working alongside other top-notch cast members. "The work is fantastic. It's always relevant, no matter where we are in the world. There's a depth to it that you can dive into every time." Check out the full interview now.
