Special FeaturesTake a Tour of "The Room Where It Happens," Leslie Odom, Jr.'s Dressing Room at HamiltonLeslie Odom, Jr., who stars in Hamilton as the antihero/narrator Aaron Burr, barely leaves the stage during a performance of the hit musical. But when he does, he makes sure he can rest and relax in style. We take readers inside his dressing room at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
"This couch... my wife Nicolette tried to get rid of it, so I thought, 'I know where it can go!'"- Odom

"I wanted a big accent wall of woodwork to go with the show's colonial feel. I found this amazing self-adhesive wall paper... it's great for temporary spaces."- Harrison

"Dual functionality is big for small spaces. The stools can work for both seating and small tables."- Harrison

"It's really something special as an artist when your work inspires somebody else to make something," says Odom of this painting by Kat KJ Lee.
"We put up the show for Broadway in, like, two-and-a-half weeks… so there was no time," says Hamilton star Leslie Odom, Jr., leaning against the doorframe of his second-floor dressing room at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Inside lays a quaint oasis totaling 70 square feet. Enter interior designer, artist, and performer Mike Harrison, who transformed what he calls "a buttery, yellow room" into a place where Odom could "relax before the show, unwind after the show and be able to entertain and have seating areas for guests."
The new institution will honor multiple honorees, with separate dimmings reserved for those a committee designates as having had a significant and lasting impact on Broadway.
