Daveed Diggs News

In our new series, Broadway by Design, BroadwayWorld will be shining a spotlight on the stellar designs of this Broadway season, show by show. Today, we continue the series with Tony nominees David Korins and Paul Tazewell, who acted as scenic and costume designers for Broadway's smash hit, HAMILTON.

On May 4, the 2016 Tony nominees flocked to the Paramount Hotel, where they met with the press for the first time since getting the big news. BroadwayWorld will be bringing you coverage from the epic day over the next month (so watch out for lots more), but for now, check out photos of Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical nominee for Hamilton, Daveed Diggs, as captured by Walter McBride!

Last night, two of HAMILTON's Tony-nominated stars, Leslie Odom, Jr. and Daveed Diggs, made appearances on late night shows at 11:35pm. Odom Jr. spoke with Jimmy Fallon, giving him juicy details about his own experience in the audience of HAMILTON, while Diggs chatted with Stephen Colbert about how Jefferson managed to plant so many crops all by himself. Check out their two appearances below!

HAMILTON star Daveed Diggs has come a long way from his days as a struggling artist, when he first arrived in New York almost 12 years ago.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, the producers of Hamilton recently struck a profit-sharing deal with members of the original cast, ensuring that those who've been with the production since its initial labs will receive a portion of upcoming royalties. Today, the Dramatists Guild of America has released a statement on the matter.

Below, check out some backstage photos taken by BroadwayWorld's acclaimed photographer, Walter McBride!
