Pelley earlier today i spoke with an eyewitness to the massacre, sean royster, who was at the club with a couple of friends. ni weve seen pictures of people just picking up those who are wounded and running them down the street to the hospital, which is a couple of blocks away. Did you see that . I saw some people. People, when they came out, i went to the left, some people went to the right. They came back this way. My best friend, when we got separated, he was advised. He was one of the people who got shot. Apparently someone dragged him out and got him to an ambulance. Thats when i finally got in touch with him. Hes at the hospital now. Another friend of mine was inside, as well. Were still looking for him. No one has heard from him since last night. His family has been calling. Friends are calling. We havent gotten in touch with him. Everyone is really, really worried. Pelley cbs news is devoting all of its resources to this tragedy.

Pelley last october, Hurricane Joaquin became the deadliest atlantic storm since sandy. But joaquin didnt even brush the u. S. Coast. The most powerful atlantic cyclone in five years found its victims at sea 33 men and women onboard an American Ship called el faro. She was lost in the bermuda triangle, carrying a mystery to a grave deeper than the titanics, the greatest loss of a u. S. Ship in 35 years. The National Transportation safety board allowed us inside its investigation to show the enormous challenges. As we first reported in january, the n. T. S. B. Intends to shine a light on what went wrong, for the families and for the future, true to el faros name in english, the lighthouse. The u. S. Naval ship apache carved a calm atlantic off the bahamas on the search for el faro. She carried sophisticated Diving Technology under the command of captain gregg baumann, the navys supervisor of salvage and diving. Gregg baumann unfortunately, in a lot of the things that we do, it does involve a tragedy like this. And its just absolutely gut wrenching. But at the end of the day, what it is that you really want to do is bring. Bring answers back, bring. Help bring closure to the families. Pelley but answers were obscured by extreme depth and only a rough idea of where to look. Tom rothroffy this is the most difficult and complex investigation ive ever worked on in my 17 years with the National Transportation safety board. Pelley tom rothroffy is the lead investigator. All he had was the ships last position, an oil slick, and a little debris at s whats your level of confidence that, at the end of all of this, youre going to know exactly why this ship sank . Rothroffy weve experienced this sort of challenges before on other investigations, and were hopeful that well be able to determine the cause of the sinking. Pelley this is el faro, a typical mediumsized cargo ship, nearly 800 feet long. She was distinctive in a few ways she served the u. S. Military in the iraq war; she was cut in half two decades ago and lengthened 90 feet; and she was 40 years old, an age when container ships are commonly sold for scrap. Glen jackson why was a ship 40 years old, why was it still being put in service . Pelley the families of the crew have many questions. Glen jackson lost his brother jack. Jackson why was a ship that had been grandfathered in to not have the enclosed lifeboats being allowed to sail with just the open hull, like whaling lifeboats, and expecting people to survive in that . Pelley Tinisha Thomas lost her husband shawn. Tinisha thomas i asked the company a question why did they allow the ship to continue to go into the storm . Pelley they didnt have to go into the hurricane . Thomas they did not have to go into the hurricane. Pelley september 29, el faro left jacksonville, florida, for puerto rico. Captain michael davidson, who had a long career, intended to steer 65 miles south of the storms predicted path. Even in a hurricane, the ship could likely survive by using its turbine engine to keep the bow pointed directly into the waves, a ships most survivable angle. But in 18 hours, joaquin spun into a category three and slid southwest toward el faro. At 7 00 a. M. , october 1, davidson made an emergency call to the ships owner, tote maritime. What do we know from the captains last report . Rothroffy we know that they had lost propulsion, that the engineers were unable to restart the main engine. We know that the vessel was listing about 15 degrees, and that one of the hatches had popped or had come open. Pelley he was taking on water . Rothroffy correct. Pelley if the ship lost power, as the captain reported, you would expect her to turn sideways to the waves, and that is her most vulnerable position . Rothroffy thats correct. Pelley the ship was approximately here, miles from the eye of the storm. The forecast predicted gusts of 150 miles an hour and seas of 30 feet. Three weeks later, apache arrived in a search area of 198 square miles. Chief sonar operator charles kapicka towed a sidescan sonar for five days when he spotted something you dont see in nature a right angle. Charles kapicka r angles, straight with a shadow. At this point im calling over, saying i think this is something coming up you want to see. Pelley as the sonar scan slowly unfurled, the sound waves reflected the shape of a ship about 800 feet long. Baumann so, at that point, we talked with the n. T. S. B. And said, we believe we have found it. But before we gave full confirmation, we then put our curv in the water, and then did a survey of the hull with moving and still photography. Pelley the cablecontrolled underwater recovery vehicle can reach 20,000 feet. And these are the cameras . Baumann correct. So heres a pan and tilt camera. You got some lights right here. Pelley there is zero light at 15,000 feet. Baumann correct. Pelley total, utter darkness. So any light you have, you have to bring with you. Baumann absolutely. Pelley apache dropped curv 15,500 feet, nearly three miles. In the abyss, the temper about 33 degrees. The pressure more than three tons per square inch. Flurries of tiny marine life drift by, but fish are rare in the impenetrable darkness. This is where el faro came to rest upright, hull largely intact, her name mangled on the stern. Her depth markings reported that this, the bow, had sunk 15 feet into the mud. Her autopsy revealed a body that had been savagely beaten steel crushed, equipment collapsed. There was no sign of the 33 crewmembers. Equipment and cargo litter the seabed. Thats a microwave oven. And on the right, thats a printer. Here is the top of a car with a sun roof, part of the cargo. What do we see there . Rothroffy that is a liquid storage container. And you can e of compressed, kind of imploded by the pressure of the sea. Pelley of its 400 cargo containers, only two remain on deck. And toward the stern, in the structure called the house, where the crew lived and worked, curv discovered the most chilling evidence of the power of an unforgiving sea. Rothroffy now, at the top of that white line there is. Is the most surprising part of our video surveys. Theres nothing above there. Pelley what should be there . Rothroffy there should be two decks above that, the lower navigation bridge deck and the bridge deck. Pelley the two top decks had sheared off, including the bridge, where captain davidson would have been fighting the storm. They were nowhere near the ship. Also missing, the voyage data recorder, like a socalled black box on an airplane. It had been bolted to the top of the bridge and was the one piece tom rothroffy wanted most. Have told us what the crew was experiencing at the time in. In the minutes before the vessel sank, what they observed you know, the extent of the flooding, how they were responding; essentially, the events leading up to the actual catastrophe. Pelley you know, im curious when you first saw the video of the ship, what did you think . Rothroffy we were looking, of course, for the. For the bridge and the voyage data recorder. And we. We got up to that level, and to see just openness was. Is extremely moving and difficult to. It was a very big surprise to us to see that. Pelley moving in what way . Rothroffy just to. To see the violence of the sea and the winds that. That would have had to occur to cause that kind of. Im sorry. To cause that kind of an evt. Pelley because, certainly, there would have been people on the bridge. Rothroffy yes. Pelley . When that happened. Rothroffy yes, quite certainly. And the shock and surprise to them as. As waves and whatnot. And theyre just washed into the ocean. Pelley when you found out the news, how did you tell your son and daughter . Tina riehm how do you say anything to your kids . Pelley jeremie riehm left behind two children, 13 and 22, and his wife, tina. Riehm that was hard, because i guess i was in denial. I thought we had to tell my kids that it wasnt looking good for daddys ship. And that was. That was terrible. Its, like, my chest collapsed, and we couldnt breathe. It was very. Pelley deb roberts lost her son, michael holland. Deb, do you have an opinion on where responsibi l deb roberts im not a professional. Im not an engineer, im a business manager. I think it was a series of unfortunate events. And without any other information, i truly blame it on Hurricane Joaquin. Pelley glen, in. In your estimation, where does the responsibility for this lie . Jackson squarely on tote maritime. And you got to understand, commercial shipping, they got to keep that ship moving to make money. And it. Thats the whole horror of this tragedy is that 33 people died so that frozen chickens could be delivered on time in puerto rico. Thats it. Pelley the safety board told us that tote maritime, the owner, is cooperating fully. Tote declined to talk with us, other than to say it created a fund for the families and that el faro was regularly maintained. The ship had passed two inspections in the months before the accident. A week after we left, a located those two bridge decks about half a mile from the ship. The windows were blown out. The voyage data recorder was not there. But based on the captains last message, investigator Tom Roth Roffy has a lead on the loss of propulsion. Rothroffy i believe we have an understanding that it was actually the main turbine, the steam turbine that was lost. Pelley one theory is, in violent seas, the propeller might have been thrust out of the water, causing it to spin too fast and shut down the turbine. The families believe some of the crew are entombed in the ship, where they would have been struggling to get the turbine running. Richard pusatere, the chief engineer, was most likely leading that fight. Frank pusatere is his father. You believe that your son was in the engine room . Frank pusatere oh, most definitely. And until someone could prove me wrong, which would be the black box or any other thing, or richard walking through that door. Is that, when the ship listed and then capsized, i guarantee you they were injured. They were knocked out. And it. That was over. And they were all together. And thats. Thats how i want to believe it. And until you can prove me wrong, scott, or anyone else, thats the way its going to happen. And thats my report to the National Transportation safety board.

And one show towers above the competition, hamilton. The hip hop musical about americas Founding Fathers is nominated for a record 16 tonys, and has become a cultural phenomenon. Hamilton is the creation of 36year old Linmanuel Miranda, who wrote the music, lyrics and plays the title character. We originally broadcast this story last fall. Tonight, we expanded it to include o remarkable performances, and more of the story of Alexander Hamilton himself, one of the most audacious and brilliant figures in american history. Linmanuel miranda the thing about hamilton is he spoke in paragraphs. So the opening sentence of our show is this crazy runon sentence. How does a bastard orphan, son of a whore and a scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the caribbean by providence, impoverished in squalor, comma, grow up to be a hero and a scholar . Thats the question were going to answer for the next two hours and 45 minutes. Im past patiently waitin im passionately smashin every expectation every actions an act of creation. Rose in hamilton, the answers come fast. Alexander hamilton first time im thinking past tomorrow and im not throwing away my shot rose my shot is the shows anthem as hamilton arrives in new york city during the American Revolution and sees his opportunity. Rise up, take a shot take a shot, not throwing away my shot Linmanuel Miranda it took me a year to write my shot, which is hamiltons big i want song. Rose it took you a year. Linmanuel miranda yeah. Because every couplet needed to be the best couplet i ever wrote. Thats how. Thats how seriously i was taking it. Rose hamilton demands lots from you. Linmanuel miranda yes rose i mean, he is calling on your best. Linmanuel miranda hes calling on my best. Because he is the smartest guy in the room. So i have to write from the perspective of the smartest guy in the room when the other people are jefferson and washington and very smart guys. Sir, entrust me with a command. Rose hamilton was front and center at nearly every major event in early american history. Aaron burr man, the man is nonstop rose he never became president , but had a bigger impact than many who did. George washington let me y rose his mentor was george washington, played by chris jackson, who plucked hamilton out of the ranks and relied on him for 20 years. Thomas jefferson so what did i miss . What did i miss . Rose rapper daveed diggs plays thomas jefferson. He is hamiltons primary political opponent. Jefferson ive been in paris meeting lots of different ladies. I guess i basically missed the late 80s. Hamilton the bullets out your gun. The bullets out your gun. Rose the show reflects mirandas broad musical taste, but hip hop and rap define it. Your music is hip hop. Your music is rap. Linmanuel miranda yes. And i also believe that form is uniquely suited to tell hamiltons story. Because it has more words per measure than any other musical genre. It has rhythm and it has density. And if hamilton had anything in his writings, it was this density. Angelica schyuler im a girl in a world in which my only job is ar my father has no sons, so im the one who has to social climb for one, so im the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in new york city is insidious. Rose miranda wrote this for hamiltons sisterinlaw, angelica schyuler, played by reneeElise Goldsberry. Schyuler and we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world rose in hamilton, women get equal time. Schuyler sisters work work angelica work work eliza work work and peggy work work the schuyler sisters hamilton just you wait. Alexander hamilton. Rose the idea to cast black and Latino Actors to play the founders was deliberate. Miranda wanted to connect america then with america now. Cast you can never back down and never learn to take your time ooohh Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton rose hamilton blossomed during an extended run at new yorks public theater. fireworks fireworks over the hudson when it opened on broadway. Linmanuel miranda i come up here in the opening number. Rose the show has already reached the loftiest heights. In ten months at the Richard Rodgers theater, hamilton has established itself as broadways impossible ticket, fetching more than 1,000 a seat from ticket brokers. And those lucky enough to get a seat never know who might be next to them. The president of the United States. Linmanuel miranda at our sixth preview. Rose the Vice President of the United States. Linmanuel miranda yes. Its put my dreams to shame. Yeah. Its, its super, super humbling and when you list those boldface names that have come to see the show, i see those as an opportunity to see the show with fresh eyes while im doing it. Linmanuel miranda when dick cheneys sitting in the audience, i think what is he thinking when he hears the lyric, history has its eyes on you. You know, when the president is here, what is he thinking as he have to step down the so the country can move on. Rose hamilton was a complicated figure war hero, famous philanderer, political thinker, mudslinging politician, and the nations first treasury secretary. Ron chernow he creates the first fiscal system, first monetary system, first customs service, first central bank, on, and on, and on. Rose ron chernow wrote the biography that inspired the musical and is the shows historical advisor. Chernow heres the story of a penniless, orphaned, immigrant kid who comes out of nowhere and sets the world on fire. And his achievements were absolutely monumental. Rose you say he came out of nowhere. Where is nowhere . Chernow he was born on the island of nevis. He spent his adolescence in st. Croix. His father abandoned the family when alexander was 11. His mother died when he was 13. When he came to north america he didnt know a soul. Linmanuel miranda this is inwood. This is where i grew up. We were still playing dominoes on the street. Rose it is a story miranda could relate to. His father graduated college at 18 in puerto rico and moved to manhattan. Luis miranda became a prominent political consultant. His wife luz, a psychologist. Luis miranda luz and i, we have always known that this kid was destined for greatness. Rose hes looking down. Luis miranda my only concern was always, is his greatness gonna come with money, so he can survive forever . Rose when did you see the musical talent . Luis miranda always. Luz townsmiranda from the time he was tiny luis miranda always. Luz townsmiranda he loved to sing. He was always creating and he loved words and songs. Rose at five, miranda tested into Hunter College elementary, a school for highly gifted children, where he told us sometimes, he felt like he did not belong. Linmanuel miranda you know, everyone was smarter than me. And im not blowing smoke, i, my, i was surrounded by genius, genius kids. Whats interesting about growing up in a cuure like that is you go, all right, i got to figure out what my thing is. Because i am not smarter than these kids. I am not funnier than half of them, so i better figure out what it is i want to do and work really hard at that. And because intellectually im treading water to, to be here. Rose so why do you think im sitting here talking to you and not sitting here talking to one of your classmates . Linmanuel miranda because i picked a lane and i started running ahead of everybody else. So i, thats the honest answer. It was like, i was like, all right this. Rose this was theater. He was in practically every school play. Linmanuel miranda this is upstairs. This is really where we grew up. Rose the family didnt have a lot of money to see broadway shows. But they did collect cast albums. And miranda consumed them. Camelot, follow me, the lusty month of may. Linmanuel miranda the, all of the wordplay. If you may take me to the fair. Youll thrash and bash him . Ill smash and mash him . You will, you know, he will be trouble, he will be rubble. laughs rose if ever i would leave you. Linmanuel miranda it would not be in springtime, knowing how in spring im bewitched by you so. Rose how can you have so many songs in your head . Linmanuel miranda because i had a lot of time on my hands. Rose so many songs in your head. Linmanuel miranda um, yeah, well these were. Rose do you have room for anything else in your head . Linmanuel miranda i mean, i dont know my Social Security number. Rose he graduated from Wesleyan University in 2002 with a degree in theater arts. Thats where he began working on a show about his old neighborhood. Lottery ticket, just part of the routine, everybodys got a job, everybodys got a dream. Rose it turned into mirandas first broadway show. In the heights won the 2008 tony for best musical. Two months later, he picked up ron chernows book during a vacation. Linmanuel miranda this is what i knew from high school. I knew hamilton died in a duel with the vice prest. I knew he was on the 10 bill. But really, i was just browsing the biography section. It could have been truman. Rose and as you read it, what happened . Linmanuel miranda i was thunderstruck. I got to the part where you know, a hurricane destroys st. Croix where hamilton is living. And he writes a poem about the carnage and this poem gets him off the island. Rose you saw a rap artist in him. Linmanuel miranda yes. I drew a direct line between hamiltons writing his way out of his circumstances and the rappers i had grown up adoring. Its biggie and jayz writing about growing up in the marcy projects in brooklyn. Its eminem writing about growing up white in detroit. Its writing about that struggle and paradoxically your writing being so good it gets you out. Im thrilled that the white house called me. Rose nine months after reading the book, he was invited to the white house to perform a song from in the heights. He decided to take a risk. Linmanuel miranda i am actually, working on a hip hop album. Its a concept album about the embodies hip hop, treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton laughter you laugh . but its true rose so when you did it, and you look at the video now. Linmanuel miranda i see a terrified young puerto rican man. Rose do you really . Linmanuel miranda terrified. Because theres the leader of the free world, newlyelected leader of the free world. His entire family. Theres biden. The 10 founding father without a father rose but as he began the story, the room was mesmerized. Linmanuel miranda moved in with a cousin the cousin committed suicide left him with nothing but ruined pride, something new inside, a voice saying alex you gotta fend for yourself, he started retreatin and readin every treatise on the shelf there would have been nothin left to do for someone less astute, he woulda been dead or destitute without a cent or restitution, started workin clerkin for his late mothers landlord, tradin sugarcane and rum and all the things he cant afford that videos a microcosm of my entire hamilton experience. I say, hip hop, alexander and then, by the end, they are not laughing. Because they are in it. Because they have been sucked into the story, just like i got sucked into the story. When we finally drive the british away lafayette is waiting in Chesapeake Bay rose mirandas gift is bringing that story to todays audiences, reminding them whom to thank for building this nation. Hamilton how you say, no sweat we are finally on the field. We have had quite a run. Lafayette immigrants. Hamilton lafayette we get the job done. Linmanuel miranda theres a lot of ways in, right . If youre scared of hip hop or you thought hip hop was not music for you, we are going to give you king george who sings a britishinvasionstyle song from the 60s. Rose thats a showstopper too. Linmanuel miranda its a showstopper. And its a breath. King george iii you say, the price of my love is not a price that youre willing to pay. Rose the british king, played here by jonathan groff, scoffs at the colonists and european immigrants trying to go it alone. King george iii youll be back soon youll see youll remember you belong to me youll be back time will tell you remember that i served you well oceans rise empires fall we have seen each other through it all Linmanuel Miranda whats interesting about that role, and i didnt even really anticipate it when i was writing it, the king becomes the audiences surrogate. As they watch this country being formed in front of their eyes, and the king goes, wait. You are really going to keep changing leaders . Wait. What are you gonna do now the war is over . Rose or youre going to come back. Linmanuel miranda oh, you will be back. laughter he speaks to the country as if it was a girlfriend he didnt treat well. King george iii cuz when push comes to shove i will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love. Da da da dat da da da da da ya da da dat da ya da Linmanuel Miranda i think the secret sauce of this show is that i cant believe this story is true. Its such an improbable and amazing story and i learned about it while i was writing it. And i think that enthusiasm is baked into the recipe. Rose some of the other cast members, and the story of the duel that ended hamiltons life, when we come back. This cbs sports update is brought to you by ford.

Charlie rose ten months ago, the Broadway Musical hamilton struck like a cultural earthquake, shaking up the worlds of theater, music and american history. It even seems to have altered our money, when the Treasury Department scrapped plans to remove Alexander Hamiltons face from the 10 bill. Tonight, it is up for a record breaking 16 tony awards. The man responsible for all this is Linmanuel Miranda, who plans to move on and leave the show this summer. He took stories from dusty history books and conjured up living, breathing human beings. Linmanuel miranda i think we take great pains to knock all these guys off their pedestals. Rose yeah you do. Linmanuel miranda this is washington impatient and yelling, are these men with which i am to defend america . Which he did as he was fleeing new york. Thats a quote. This is jefferson and hamilton squabbling. George washington the issue on the table rose the tenor of their politics will sound familiar too. Hamiltons debate with jefferson over how to pay off the revolutionary war debt was so intense, miranda stages it as a rap battle. Washington are you ready for a Cabinet Meeting . Rose with washington as referee. Thomas jefferson in virginia, we plant seeds in the ground. We create. You just want to move our money around. This Financial Plan is an outrageous demand and its too many damn pages for any man to understand stand with me in the land of the pray to god we never see hamiltons candidacy look when britain taxed our tea, we got frisky imagine whats gonna happen when you try to tax our whiskey washington thank you, secretary jefferson Alexander Hamilton thomas, that was a real nice declaration welcome to the present, were running a real nation would you like to join us, or stay mellow, doing whatever the hell it is you do in monticello a civics lesson from a slaver, hey neighbor your debts are paid because you dont pay for labor we plant seeds in the south we create keep ranting we know whos really doing the planting rose hamiltons combative nature made him monumental enemies including president s adams, jefferson, madison and monroe. All downplayed hamiltons achievements and diminished his legacy. The only one to fare worse in the eyes of history was hamiltons killer, Vice President aaron burr. Miranda gives him a starring role. Burr becomes your narrator rose because you need what . Linmanuel miranda well, one, i need balance. Hamilton would be happy to narrate his own story. Rose in paragraphs and paragraphs. Linmanuel miranda in paragraphs and paragraphs. And also, burr is the mirror image of hamilton. Hes also orphaned at a young age. Speeds through college. Speeds through princeton in two years. Starts at 13. Age 13. Rose just as smart as hamilton . Linmanuel miranda just as smart as hamilton. But every time hamilton says go, burr says stop. Hes just cautious aaron burr hamilton doesnt hesitate. Rose burr is played by leslie odom junior. Burr takes and he takes and he takes and he keeps winning anyway changes the game plays and raises the stakes and if theres a reason he seems to thrive and so few survive then goddamit im willing to wait for it im willing to wait for it rose miranda explores the rivalry between burr and hamilton. From friends, to com in one song, they finally become enemies. Burr i, i wanna be in the room where it happens the room where it happens Linmanuel Miranda room where it happens was the toughest jigsaw puzzle ive ever done. Rose a puzzle explaining how hamilton, jefferson and madison made a backroom deal to move the u. S. Capital from new york city to washington d. C. In 1790. In the musical, this becomes the final straw for the man left out. Burr ive gotta be, ive got to be, in the room the big old room the art of the compromise hold your nose and close your eyes Linmanuel Miranda im both trying to explain this very complicated compromise that happened behind closed doors, and what makes it exciting in the context of our story is were telling it from the perspective of the one guy who wasnt there aaron burr. He says, these guys just traded away the capitol of our country in exchange for an unprecedented, Financial Plan. It all happened over a dinner that none of us were at. None of us had any say in the decision. Rose the room where it happens. Linmanuel miranda the room where it happens. Burr ensemble ive got to be in the room where it happened, the room where it happened i gotta be i gotta be in the rooooomm click boom rose for years, the story of burr and hamilton was hidden away in places like this, the New York Historical society library. It holds many of their original writings. This is where historian ron chernow researched the biography that inspired miranda. Ron chernow Linmanuel Miranda, i think, was smart enough to know that the best way to dramatize this story was to stick as close to the facts as possible. You want violence . Theres violence in the story. You want sex . Theres sex in the story. Rose you want power, theres power in the story . Chernow you want power in the story. This has all of the ingredients. Rose including the story of hamiltons political downfall. It began with a yearlong affair with a young woman named maria reynolds. It turned into the nations first bona fide sex scandal. Chernow i think that what makes the whole story so bizarre and unbelievable is that hamilton ended up paying blackmail money to mr. Reynolds. And this at a time when hamilton was not just the treasury secretary, but he was effectively, like, the Prime Minister of washingtons government. So he was the most powerful man in the government. Rose when he was exposed, hamilton did something no one expected he confessed everything. Chernow he wrote a 95page pamphlet when even his closest friends thought that a delicatelyworded paragraph or two would have done the trick. Rose i apologize, i made a st chernow and that would have done it. Jefferson madison Alexander Hamilton had a torrid affair and he wrote about it down right there highlights rose in the show, miranda uses hamiltons own words from what became known as the reynolds pamphlet. Jefferson madison burr i had frequent meetings with her most of them at my own house at his own house at his own house damn rose the scandal was one big reason there was never a president hamilton. Jefferson madison burr never gonna be president now aint never gonna be president now thats one less thing to worry about Leslie Odom Jr hes made these dead white guys make sense to a bunch of, you know, black and brown people. Hes made them make sense in the context of our time with our music. Rose we spoke last fall with some of mirandas most important collaborators castmembers leslie odom junior, renee Elise Goldsberry, daveed diggs, philippa soo and chris jackson. Rose what is it that connects . What are you hearing . What is it thats resonating in these audiences . Christopher jackson theres so many Different Things happening in this story that its almost impossible to peg, i think, its just the music, or its just the movement, or its the lights, or its the staging. And it could be any number of those things. Or all of those things. Rose these are good female roles too, arent they. Renee Elise Goldsberry yes they are. One of the things thats exciting to me about playing Angelica Schuyler and feeling so powerful and knowing the time that we live in with hilary running for president. We get to show who the founding mothers are and what they did. They were not just sewing flags. They were actually the muse, like Angelica Schuyler was to jefferson and to hamilton. Rose daveed, you said it gives you something you didnt have before. Ownership of your own history. Daveed diggs yeah, yeah. I mean, this is the only time ive ever felt particularly american, is in the last, like, eight months that ive been working on this. Rose hamilton has come politics and immigration are the hottest topics in america. But it is mirandas writing that has made it a juggernaut. When you write, i mean i have been told you write, and if its sad, tears come to your eyes. Youre in the moment to express yourself. Linmanuel miranda yeah. I think of acting and writing as pretty much the same thing. Its all about getting inside the skin of your characters, and seeing where they are, and knowing how theyve grown up. You have to know all this, like, in your bones, what theyve come up against, who they are. And then you just Start Talking as them. And you write until the rust comes out of the faucet and its clear water. And you write down the clear water. Rose because the clear water is the perfection at the end of this. Linmanuel miranda well, its the stuff that feels true. Chernow the bullet hit him actually on the right side. Rose most people already know how the story of Alexander Hamilton ends. He died in 1804 in a duel with aaron burr in weehawkin, new jersey. By then, burs hamilton, just shy of his 50th birthday, was practicing law. How could that happen . Chernow dueling revolved around honor. You were protecting your honor. Rose but here are two men, theyre not ordinary politicians . They have a lot to lose . Chernow here were two politicians with their careers in decline who thought that they would establish their courage and manhood on the dueling ground. Burr was feeling very, very frustrated. It seemed like at every turn Alexander Hamilton was there, you know, blocking his path. Linmanuel miranda he writes in a letter before the duel. He said there was no way this could have been avoided. We have been circling each other for a while. It was always going to come to this. Rose this was going to happen. Linmanuel miranda this was going to be happen. They are fundamentally different men. And they run in concentric circles until they meet. Tommy kail and everything around them is moving. Rose miranda and director tommy kail staged the intensifying rivalry between the two men. Ahhh. Linmanuel miranda yeah, rose its really cool. The turntable was essential. Kail it allows the propulsion of the show to continue, to continue this insistence of movement that hamilton had in his life. Hamitlon i imagine death so much it feels more like a memory. Rose many historians including chernow believe hamilton deliberately fired into the air, throwing away his shot. Wait rose it is a fatal miscalculation. Burr i hear wailing in the streets somebody tells me you better hide they say angelica and eliza were both by his side when he died Linmanuel Miranda heres the thing about hamilton. I think hamilton was ready to die from the time he was 14 years old. I think what he has is what i have, which is that thing of, tomorrows not promised. I got to get as much done as i can. clapping rose its not only good acting. Its not only good music. People are saying its transformative. Linmanuel miranda its certainly changed my life. But i think its because when great people cross our path, and im talking about hamilton here, it forces us to reckon with what were doing with our lives, you know . At my age, hamilton was treasury secretary and creating our Financial System from scratch. Rose and building a country . Linmanuel miranda yeah. I wrote two plays. The making of the hamilton cast album. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com. Sponsored by prevnar 13. What if one piece of kale could protect you from diabetes .
