Jon Rua had no idea that just his third Broadway musical and second with Lin-Manuel Miranda would not only be a critical hit, but a global and generational phenomenon. Hamilton has crossed entertainment boundaries, and shattered almost every Broadway record in history. Not only is Jon part of the original cast of Hamilton, but has the unique opportunity to be one of the first to understudy Lin Manuel Miranda himself playing the title role of Alexander Hamilton. Jon gives us an insight into what it’s like to embody such an iconic character and remain focused in a time of immense success. Rua’s artistry and focus on building a strong relationship with his talents gives us a valuable window into what makes a successful Broadway career.
