There's an encore run of 'Hamilton' now packing the CIBC Theatre.
There's an encore run of ' Hamilton ' now packing the CIBC Theatre.
ABC7 Chicago is now streaming 24/7. Click here to watch 'Hamilton is a beautiful reflection of our values, of our impulses, and our yearning as Americans, and nothing represents America more than Chicago,' Seller said.
'So, here's a show in which people who are 10 are enjoying it and getting so much out of the music and so much out of the characters, just as much as people who are 80.'
Seller is the trailblazing producer who believed in Lin-Manuel Miranda and made his dream musical come true. 'My job as producer is to bet on the artist. Lin-Manuel Miranda had already achieved such artistic excellence with our show 'In The Heights' that when he brought me his next show, the answer was going to be 'Yes' no matter what,' Seller said.
'It all starts with the person who says, 'Let's put on a show,'' Seller said. 'When the hair on my arms stands up, when I'm listening to their music, when I get those goosebumps, when I feel the electricity going through my whole body, and then let's tell a story that matters.'
'When I produced 'Rent' in 1996, it's been 30 years,' Seller said. 'I remember a friend saying, 'I hope you're enjoying this. It will never happen again.' And lo and behold, it happened again with 'Hamilton' in 2015,' Seller said.
'I wrote a book in order to make sense of my tough childhood, in order to make sense of my poverty, in order to make sense of my feelings of being an outsider, and to understand how I used all of those feelings to help me get where I got,' Seller said. 'Once in a while, I will look around and say, 'How lucky I am to be alive right now.''
