“I’m kind of nervous about it—as you can see, my hands are shaking—I’m so nervous! But it’s going to be fun,” says Miss Saigon alum Rachelle Ann Go, who will take on the role of Eliza Hamilton.

The official start of rehearsals marked the culmination of a two-week preparation period, during which time Tony-winning music supervisor and orchestrator Alex Lacamoire guided the company through the music. “Everyone is so well prepared,” he says. “You can sense everyone having a good time; you can sense people really getting into the music. It’s been such a joy to see this music be embodied in this way.”
