“It was at the moment of where we were trying to decide what to put on the $20 bill, and we came out in the Obama administration,” she says. “Then as the world kept turning, it felt like maybe this is for the world that was to come...it’s a ‘progressive revelation,’ I call it.”

As for Odom, the man who originated the role of Aaron Burr examines “Wait for It.” Of the song, the Tony winner says “the writing is everything. And here, Lin-Manuel [Miranda] gave me exceptional writing.”

Hamilton was released as a film capture on Disney+ last summer, and has since been nominated in several categories this year's Golden Globe Awards, SAG Awards, Critic's Choice Awards, and NAACP Image Awards.
