âHamiltonâ Through the Eyes of Original Broadway Cast Member Betsy Struxness (DC Metro Theater Arts):
[. . .]Â Â Â Once I booked the job and we were rehearsing the workshop, I knew there wasnât a world that existed in which this show didnât go to Broadway. But thatâs as far as my mind went. It would get to Broadway, it would run, and a lot of people would probably like it. Like it. Ha! Boy was I not ready for how it was received.
It wasnât until previews off-Broadway that I knew something different was happening with this show. That was the day the #StruxSelfie came into being: accidentally and authentically. Busta Rhymes came to our show. Not gonna lie, I totally thought it was a look-a-like falling asleep in the front row. Turns out, he was closing his eyes to listen to all the raps with a keener ear. Afterward, there was a talkback, in which I participated. Busta remained, but in the middle of it gets escorted out towards the green room by our director Tommy Kail. When the talkback ended I went the same route and as a joke to pretty much no one I said, âHey is Busta still here?â
âYeah, heâs right there,â his security guard said, clearly used to people fawning over the man. I just started chuckling because A) I felt stupid and B) WHAT?! Iâm gonna get to meet him? AWESOME! So while heâs having a delightful conversation with Lin about the show, I snap a picture. The very first #StruxSelfie.
After that, it was just a steady flow of celebrity: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, and former President Bill Clinton. Sir Paul McCartney. Rita Moreno. Bernadette Peters. Bobby Cannavale. Rose Byrne. Glenn Close. Bon Jovi. Spike Lee. Jimmy Fallon. Sara Bareilles. Lily Rabe. Sarah Paulson. Julia Roberts. Patti LuPone. Mark Ruffalo. Edie Falco. Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz. Billy Crystal. Jerry Seinfeld. Michael J. Fox. Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Hugh Jackman. Frances McDormand. Tina Fey. Meg Ryan. RZA. Paul Rudd.
And thatâs missing some folks too. In our last two weeks of the off-Broadway run at The Public Theater, First Lady Michelle Obama came to a Saturday matinee. We knew SOMEONE was there but werenât quite sure who. Iâd heard Madonna was coming so when castmate Ephraim Sykes came off stage, awe-struck and just saying âSheâs here,â I was like, âMadonna?â
âMichelle Obama,â he whispered, wide-eyed.
Me: âWHAT?!â
And then we got to meet her. She gave us all hugs and told us how proud she was of us. Of course, I was watching this all through a glaze of tears over my eyes. Secret Service wouldnât allow us pictures, alas no #StruxSelfie.
And all of that was just off-Broadway. Thatâs when we started realizing that this wasnât only something different and moving for us as artists, but it was something different and moving to the audiences as well. That was clear the night Busta was there too, because as he was clapping and making eye contact with every performer at bows, Mandy Patinkin was in the row behind him, on his feet shouting âBRAVO!â Titan of Music and Titan of Stage and Film, two men of very different artistic backgrounds, both on their feet and both giving so much respect to what we had just given them. It felt very powerful.
Further on in our run, we hosted the UN Security Council. After the show, there was a cocktail reception where we all got to mingle. What a fascinating cross-section of diverse individuals in one place. In talking to some of them, I was really surprised by how taken they were with the show. People from other countries were apparently just as intrigued by the whole thing as Americans were. It was our first encounter with any sort of politicos coming to the show and immediately drew my attention. Our contemporized but authentic portrayal was getting noticed by those in government. Their love for it only proved how relevant the situations of Hamiltonâs time are currently, in the US and around the world.
Iâm not sure if others felt the same way I did, but the move to Broadway excited me and worried me at the same time. Was the reaction to the off-Broadway production a fluke? Would people still care? Would we disappoint anyone if we couldnât live back up to the hype? I think itâs safe at this point to say: No, it wasnât a fluke. Yes, people will still care. No, we are not a disappointment.Â
[. . .]
The dream has never been to be in a grand hit phenomenon of a show. The dream only went as far as getting me on Broadway. Once there, the goals kept changing because of the experiences themselves. The goal now is to keep looking for projects and opportunities that make me feel the way reading that casting breakdown for âHamilton Mixtapeâ made me feel. Excited. Intrigued. Eager. Itâs a rare combination of emotions that doesnât come along every day. Being part of the creative process for this show has changed my ideas of how I want to proceed with my career. Gone are the days of wanting to just be in a Broadway show, replaced by a relentless search for the next challengeâŚwhatever that may be and wherever it may lead is as yet unknown.
