#378: Jason Arrow // Alexander Hamilton: Australia, New Zealand, Manila // Part One

<p>Jason Arrow and I spoke in April 2023, right after he ended his run as Alexander Hamilton in Australia. Since recording, the company had a very limited run in New Zealand, and as of September 2023, Jason will be in Manila in the Philippines performing in the Asian premiere of Hamilton.</p> <p>Here's one of the many interesting thing about Jason: for a guy who first connected with Burr, he has a lot of Hamilton traits. Jason started doing theatre as a teenager, mostly just a hobby at first. He was doing community shows while studying computer science, graphic design, and film/tv theory. He realized very quickly that he belonged *in front* of the camera.</p> <p>Jason went to the prestigious Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and that's where he learned about this show called Hamilton. It sounded really incredible but he was very busy and didn't have the time to commit to falling in love with such a layered piece while still in school. And then 2020 came around and changed everything.</p> <p><a href="https://linktr.ee/jasonarrow?fbclid=IwAR0lbJfbFglr_MdjopubCvqAB1N7bWHRIHOr0rLJu9fQJyD83q1CDCRHCVs"> <strong>Jason Arrow's Linktree</strong></a></p> <p><strong><a href="https://twitter.com/gillianwithag" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gillian on Twitter</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/gillianwithag" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gillian on Instagram</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://twitter.com/TheHamilcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hamilcast on Twitter</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thehamilcast/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hamilcast on Instagram</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheHamilcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join the Patreon Peeps</a></strong></p>
