Fortunately for us, Anthony was able to audition of what was then-called The Hamilton Mixtape, publication the job, and fulfill Lin, aka the man who would become his advisor.
Their chemistry on phase as both good friends and dad and also boy (Anthony pulls double-duty in Hamilton as John Laurens and Philip Hamilton) is just one of the best components of the musical and also demonstrates just how close the pair overcame the program of their year on the program.
If it had not been for Anthony Ramos’s off-Broadway program Heart and also Lights shutting throughout previews, he might never ever have actually crossed paths with Lin-Manuel Miranda.
While Hamilton might have been the catalyst for their partnership, it’s not the only musical the pair share. After Anthony was cast in the workshop of Hamilton, Lin asked him to be part of 21 Chump Street, a 14-minute musical based on episode # 457 of This American Life called “What I Did For Love.” “Lin placed me on the map with that said one,” Anthony formerly informed TheaterMania. “I’m really happy that he trusted me with his product.”
Now if that didn’t convince you of the depend on they have in one another, the reality that Lin is passing the duty of Usnavi from In the Heights (a role he both came from and also composed on Broadway) to Anthony for the film version should. In an interview with The New York Post, Anthony specified that “it’s outstanding that Lin turned over this duty that meant a lot for him to play, and primarily was like, ‘I’ma count on you with this.'”
Thankfully, they’ll both be appearing in the film version, as Lin will certainly be playing Piragüero, aka the legendary Piragua Guy. If you intend to see even more of the close friends, you can capture them in Disney+’s Hamilton on July 3, or you can keep scrolling to see several of their cutest moments– including Lin fangirling over Anthony’s relationship with Jasmine Cephas Jones.
