52
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: calling attacks like the Orlando shooting acts of Islamic terrorism,

53
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: but won't demonize Muslims because of such attacks. We can

54
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: call it radical jihadism, we can call it radical Islamism,

55
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: but we also, you know, want to reach out to

56

Speaker 1: was in the room where it happenes. Where are we happy?

78
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Where it happened? No one really knows how the Dame

79
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: Hamilton's the room where it happened. That's uh. Actually the

80
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: characters are and Burr and he is getting ready for

81
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: that denuement, that final climax, the duel with Alexander Hamilton's

82
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: which ended the first US Treasury Secretary's life. Anyway, this

83
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: hip hop musical has become such a phenomenon, just not

84
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: on all the United States, but worldwide and joining us

85
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: now to talk to it. I want to get right

86
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: to him is Sam Rudy. He is the founder of

87
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: Sam Rudy Media Relations. He's the press rep for Hamilton's

88
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: the Musical on Broadway. He is also a veteran of

89
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: many decades. He is respected, read any story about him,

90
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: and loved by everybody on Broadway. Just about Sam. Welcome,

91
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: thank you very much. It's nice to be back here

92
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: after a few year absence. It's great to have you back.

93
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: To you. Kathleen and meet to meet him a Broadway

94
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: Fionado himself. In fact, his wife luckily got bat to

95
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: see Hamilton's recently. Am I right? I did not get

96
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: to see if No, but your wife did. Yes. So

97
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: along with everyone else, it's hard to find people who

98
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: don't like Hamilton, who in fact don't love Hamilton's, and

99
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: more to the point, who aren't obsessed by Hamilton's. They

100
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: dunaway called me today. Can I just say that for tickets?

101
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: For tickets, well, gosh, can't you afford to pony up

102
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: the thousand or was it five thousand? However much it

103
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: is now I have to ask you. The closest I

104
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: got to the Tony's was TV and actually live on

105
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: their boys side, So we stood outside of the theater

106
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: to be in that neighborhood. We don't get The Tonys

107
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: are early up there every so, all right, that's a

108
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: great neighborhood for it, because you sense a lot of

109
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: the residents they are really enjoy having the experience of

110
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: having the Toney's on their street. How did you get

111
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: involved with Hamilton's um? I uh. The producer Jeffrey Seller.

112
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: I have worked with him since U two thousand three.

113
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: Other musical that's still running in New York called Avenue Q,

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in two

115
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: thousand and four. And uh, I've I've worked for for

116
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: Jeffrey on other checks through the years, and but we

117
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: hadn't worked together in a while. And last season he

118
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: produced the Last Ship Stings Musical, which was a wonderful

119
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: experience for all of us, apart from the fact that

120
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: it didn't run very long. Um. And shortly after we

121
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: announced that the Last Ship was going to close, UM,

122
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: I thought maybe I should consider semi retirement because I thought,

123
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: without a big Broadway show, I'm not sure if I

124
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: need to work full time in the in the business,

125
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: in the city and so and so forth. Anyhow, he

126
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: called me and said, you know I want to do

127
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: I want you to do Hamilton, don't you And I

128
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: said no, But I know now, and I guess retirement

129
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: will wait. Sam taking a look at the results from

130
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: yesterday's broadcast of the Emmys. This was from the beach.

131
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: I didn't haven't heard that. I'm telling you here. This

132
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: is the highest level of audience viewership in fifteen years.

133
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. Eight point seven three million viewers an increase

134
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: of thirty five over the ceremony. And I want to

135
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 1: note that this does not include the last fifteen minutes

136
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: of the broadcast, which aired outside of prime time. So

137
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: clearly there's something going on that is drawing people to theater. Yes,

138
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: tell me what has changed in your estimation, how it

139
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: has become popular and has sustained itself in the age

140
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: of the small screen, the big screen, and every other

141
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: kind of screen. I would say that the brand of

142
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: Broadway has probably never been healthier than it is now,

143
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: and I would trace that back to oddly enough, September eleven.

144
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Broadway was in good shape then, but as

145
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: you recall, the day after September eleven, Giuliani and all

146
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: of the elected officials and so on and so forth,

147
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: the first place that they turned to to say, please

148
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: help us send the message that New York is still

149
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: functioning and we haven't been brought completely to our knees.

150
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Get your shows back on. And of course that's what

151
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: theater people wanted to do. That's what they do, is

152
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: they put on shows and they perform. And the addedge

153
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: that show us go on certainly applied at a time

154
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: like that. So I really feel that there was some

155
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of harmonic convergence or just a convergence of events

156
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: and influence and desire at that time that has really

157
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: helped elevate Broadway in the in the years since then.

158
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: Noel Miranda, a hip hop musical of such scope and scale,

159
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: calling on history, inspired by Ron Churner's incredible biography of

160
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: Alexander Hamilton. Does this signal a new wave in the theater,

161
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: a new generation? What does it tell us about musical

162
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: shows in general? Well, I mean people call it a

163
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: game changer. Um, it's hard to imagine that we're going

164
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: to be seeing nothing but hip hop music was here

165
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: on out. I don't think that's going to happen per

166
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: se um. I think this was addressed on some of

167
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: the acceptance speeches last night and some of the remarks

168
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: made during the telecast, which is, if nothing else, Hamilton's

169
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: has reminded us that anything is possible. Any subject is

170
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: not too dear or not too unlikely to be turned

171
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: into a work of art, and um, that's what Hamilton's is.

172
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: Sometimes I hear my word, when I hear myself call

173
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: it a show, I thought, that's you know, it is

174
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: so much more than a show. I mean, it is

175
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: first and foremost a show, but it just turned people

176
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: on in a way. The beautiful thing about Hamilton's It's

177
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: brings so much story to so many people and it's

178
