Blaine Alden Krauss, who has portrayed both Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr in the Broadway show "Hamilton," highlights the rigorous demands of performing in the musical. The combination of rapid-fire rapping, choreography, and deep historical context creates a unique challenge. Krauss describes the physical and emotional toll of bringing a character's complete life story to the stage every night, likening the experience to an Olympic event. His reflections illuminate the dedication and stamina required to thrive in such a demanding role.
Theater is hard in general. To play someone's entire life span (Hamilton), and he's in every scene about the highest and lowest moments in his life, it's a feat, a major Olympic game every night.
I welcome it, but after each show it feels like a semi-truck hit me, physically and emotionally.
