StreamingHamilton Stars James Monroe Iglehart, Alysha Deslorieux, Michael Luwoye, More Join This Ends Tonight ReadingThe play is written by Ain’t Too Proud star and fellow Hamilton alum Nik Walker.
Walker himself is a Hamilton alum and plays Otis Williams in Ain’t Too Proud—The Life and Times of the Temptations on Broadway. The star began writing the dark comedy during his time performing in the Lin-Manuel Miranda musical. This is the third and final play in what the performer-playwright calls his Bloody Boston Trilogy.
The reading also includes Chantal Thuy, Luke Humphrey, and Sarah Joyce. Anna Kaltenbach reads stage directions and Hamilton violinist Sarah Haines provides original music.
The play follows a Missouri lawman as he travels to Boston to settle the score with his nemesis. When plans go awry, the mismatched pair must work together to escape the frenzied city.
