In case you missed it, here are the OTHER videos from our Hamilton visit!

Multi-million dollar production but the most important tool to keep the show running appears to be a bent paperclip.

As a woman in sound, knowing that its a very gendered profession, it's wonderful to see Adrianna brought to the forefront for this video! Amazing video, Adam. Thank you.

I absolutely adore how when you mentioned 3d printing, she paused as a whole world of possibilities opened up. That smile warmed my heart today.

My goodness. Adam's passion for everything is so very contagious. The way he's able to see and appreciate the smallest of details in a job that, to me, would come across as tedious is just a magnificent character trait. But to then be able to express that to other people in a way that's exciting and able to break down those misconceptions is, quite frankly, inhuman. I have to feel like even she walked away with a greater appreciation of her own job, skill set and tools.

This myth was busted

Been a Sound engineer my whole life, Finally the Audio Dept is getting some interest from the rest of the community! i love when people see the magical world of theatre audio for the first time.

It's painful to think that all of these awesome people Adam interviewed are now out of work for the foreseeable future :( all of us in the stagehand biz are hurting. Idk. Maybe the hamilton production company will step up and keep paying them, but that hasn't been what's happened so far.

"It's lots of boredom followed by moments of abject terror" that's the exact definition of "Thank you 5" for crews 😂😂😂

I love these videos about the people without whom a show would never be possible. Stage performances are so plentiful in the skillsets required to make it all happen.

this was one of the best videos on Tested in a long time. Love this sort of highly specialized vocational knowledge. Same reason I recently have gotten into watching videos of old school cobblers and stuff like that

Did you see that? One smart person talking to another smart person:

This, surprisingly, is now my favorite video in y'all's Hamilton series.

Two Theatrical Sound videos in as many weeks?!?

See, I always love seeing mic placements on actors in stage shows. Especially in person, because that means that I'm lucky enough to be close to the stage. I find it so interesting to see the placement of mics and try to logic my way to reasons of the placement. I also really enjoy seeing the details that can only be seen up close, because they always add to the story for me. Like when I saw the Bandstand musical tour, I was actually able to see the band's dog tags and the fake seams from the stocking that the girls wear.

As a former property and costume manager (many many moons ago), I'm absolutely LOVING these behind the scenes glimpses of Hamilton!!

Jefferson:

Adam is living proof you can be extremely nerdy while being very kind and sociable. He's such an amazing person to watch and his pleasant attitude is so contagious. Makes it so easy to watch these videos of stuff I know nothing about.

Thank you Adam for taking a moment to turn the spotlight around on to an industry that often goes unnoticed. We do what we do because we love it and not for the attention but it is still nice from to have people notice our hard work from time to time.
