Where ‘Hamilton’ Hides Its Orchestra

Dallas Taylor, of Twenty Thousand Hertz fame, all-too-briefly tours the Hamilton orchestra pit with current musical director and conductor Roberto Sinha. Peeks behind the curtains always fascinate me, as both a theater nerd and a technology nerd. One unexpected tech tidbit: the different piano sounds for the show are actually played through Apple MainStage, not the keyboard itself.

Taylor promises more Hamilton episodes and thank goodness, because I could watch this stuff for hours. (I also really enjoyed the episodes for Wicked and The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.)
