“I would say my style is a mixture of impulsiveness and convenience,” Diggs says. “By which I mean, probably 75 percent of what I wear is something somebody gave me—a clothing company while touring with clipping. or a gift somebody brought back for me when they went on a trip—and the rest is something I saw that totally blew my mind in the moment and I had to buy it.”

Number One: I’m a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich. My father has no son so I’m the one who has to social climb for one

Number Two: He’s after me cause I’m a Schuyler sister, that elevates his status. I’d have to be naive to set that aside

Number Three: I know my sister like I know my own mind, you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind. If I tell her that I love him she’d be silently resigned, he’d be mine, she would say “I’m fine”, she’d be lying

things i’ve learned from hamilton: i haven’t really truly fucked up until a whole chorus of people is shouting “no!!” at my poor decisions

And if your wife could share a fraction of your time, if I could grant you peace of mind, would that be enough?

What exactly is my responsibility here? To comfort insecure heterosexual men? That can’t possibly fall to me.

one of the things i adore about hamilton is that there isn’t a gender divide in the chorus.

in most shows i’ve been in, there’s a difference between what the men in the chorus get to do, and what the women get to do (and you’re always one or the other based on voice part, no ambiguities allowed). in pirates of penzance, there’s the pirates on one side, and the nice proper ladies on the other. in les mis, there’s the prisoners, and there’s the prostitutes. it defines which scenes you appear in, and sometimes it keeps you from some of the coolest parts of the show.

but hamilton uses the entire vocal range of the chorus in every scene, even in entirely “male” spaces like battle scenes. i never thought i’d see a broadway show–especially a historically-based show–where someone with my vocal range would get to shout “HERE COMES THE GENERAL” and make cannon sound effects. you know?

broadway has been a really strictly gendered space for so long, worse than almost any other media i can think of. hamilton gives me hope because it’s set a precedent of casting based entirely on ability. if you can spit the words, if you can hit the notes, if you can make the role come alive, it doesn’t matter what you look like or how you compare to the real historical figure. there are sopranos at the battle of yorktown. maybe somewhere out there, there’s a woman who could be the perfect alexander hamilton.

hamilton has already broken down racial restrictions in casting so beautifully, and i’m starting to see cracks in the gender side, too. i can’t wait to see what happens next.

Corruption’s such an old song that we can sing along in harmony and nowhere is it stronger than in Albany. This colony’s economy’s increasingly stalling and honestly that’s why public service seems to be calling me.
