Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Leslie Odom Jr. recently reunited to perform and discuss their experiences in a panel. They likened performing in Hamilton to running a restaurant, emphasizing the need for consistently high-quality shows. Every performance must be fresh and engaging for the audience, as the energy of each crowd is vital to the overall experience. Miranda also shared his favorite bagel spot, H&H Bagels, praising it for freshness and quality.
"Doing a show is like running a restaurant. It does not matter how good last night's meal was, everyone who came here tonight is expecting to see the Hamilton they read about or that they heard about from their friend. You've got to serve the meal fresh that night, and you have to give everything every night, and your reputation is as good as the show you're doing that night."
"We don't get to coast on any laurels. If we do our job right, the ending feels similar - people come back and kiss the chef. That feels really great, but you need to make it fresh every single night."
"You're the last ingredient. That's what makes it a joy to deliver: the gratification of seeing an audience respond in real time to what you're making."
"H&H is the best because they are fresh and inarguably delicious."
