Alexander hamilton gay

In the musical bearing his name, Alexander Hamilton is a man all too aware of both his impermanence and his influence. There could never be enough time to do all that he dreams of doing, and he’s not about to “throw away his shot.” Pierre Jean Gonzalez, who plays Hamilton in the national North American touring cast, seems to be living a moment not dissimilar to the role he dreamed of playing.

“It’s a big spotlight,” Gonzalez tells Pride Origin on a recent Zoom call. “And that’s why I’m not taking it for granted.”

I didn’t even listen to it until a few weeks ago, and that is because the idea of a hip hop musical about America’s first secretary of the treasury is stupid. Even the Obamas laughed at Lin Manuel Miranda when he told them about it, and they’re a lot nicer than I am. The fact that it happened to work, and to contain given us probably the greatest cast album of all second, and that it happened to have saved American theater from itself should not detract from the fact that on paper, it really seems like a dud.
