The Moment Leslie Odom Jr. Recalls Knowing Hamilton Was A Masterpiece

It’s rare for a Broadway show to become such a hit that it becomes a cultural phenomenon, and yet, that’s just what happened with Lin-manuel Miranda’s Hamilton. The show was a unique blend of American history and hip hop music and even if you never saw the show on the stage, you likely knew a lot about it and became a big fan of the music. For most the show’s success likely came as a surprise, but Leslie Odom Jr., who would go on to win a Tony Award for his performance in the show, says he knew Hamilton was something special literally from the beginning.
