With the recent release of Umbrella Academy Season 2, you might be interested to know that Emmy Raver-Lampman (UA’s Allison Hargreeves) has had a storied history with Hamilton.

Emmy Raver-Lampman began her Hamilton journey in the original 2015 Broadway ensemble, in the Woman 5 track, before eventually joining the Chicago (Eliza Tour) ensemble in the same track. During this time, she served as understudy for the Schuyler sisters. She eventually went on to star as Angelica in the First National (Angelica) Tour cast alongside frequent costar Solea Pfeiffer. During this time, she flaunted her natural hair, becoming the first Angelica to sport a Mohawk. She stayed in this role for one year, dazzling audiences in San Francisco and Los Angeles, before leaving the cast in early 2018 to begin filming Umbrella Academy Season 1. Emmy is one of two OBC cast members to have not been featured in the recently released Hamilton proshot, now streaming on Disney+.

Emmy is close with many of her former Hamilton castmates, but none so much as OBC castmate, Daveed Diggs. According to media sources, the two have been dating since 2019, though rumors have persisted about the pair since 2017.

She was also recently featured on the Daveed Diggs/ Rafael Casal album, Seven Nights in Chicago, which was released last year, as well as on the soundtrack for the film Blindspotting, which was co-written by and stars Diggs.

Most recently, Emmy starred in Gun & Powder at the Signature Theater alongside fellow Hamilton alumnus Solea Pfeiffer and Donald Webber Jr. But Emmy truly is nonstop. Working with filmmaker Nick Simon, Emmy stars in the forthcoming An Untitled Horror Film, the first film to be shot entirely during quarantine. Additionally, she was recently cast in the animated show Central Park, where she will costar alongside Hamilton alumnus Diggs and Leslie Odom Jr, in role of Molly Tillerman.

Emmy tends to keep her personal life very private but is notable for her love of snacks, avocado toast, and books. She is a self-proclaimed bookworm and avid reader. She is also an activist and feminist, and has participated in a number of fundraisers and protests. She is currently participating in Ham4Change alongside many of her former Hamilton OBC castmates.

You can Emmy on social media at @emmyraver, and be sure to catch her on Umbrella Academy if you haven’t already.
