As co-host for The Breeze Auckland Breakfast show, it’s fair to say that I’ve been lucky enough to interview some of the world’s most famous musicians, but what some of you may not know is that I LOVE musicals. In fact, I even appeared in one! Just the one. There have been no calls since, however, I am available – call 0800breeze.
From Les Misérables to Starlight Express, The Wizard of Oz to Mamma Mia!, I’ve seen them all (and more). So, when my daughter Bella introduced the whānau to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, we were hooked. It’s easily one of my favourite productions and recently I was invited to Brisbane to see it before it comes to Aotearoa from May 26.
You will absolutely love the show – it’s an incredible must-see experience. Plus, I was also given the mind- blowing privilege of having a face to face chat with the man behind the magic, the Tony, Grammy, Emmy, Olivier and Pulitzer Prizewinning Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Here’s my chat with my new best friend Lin.
