#405: Jonathan Butler-Duplessis // Hamilton Broadway // Part One

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Jonathan Butler-Duplessis</span> <span class="s2">is currently in the Broadway company of Hamilton covering Aaron Burr, George Washington, and Mulligan/Madison. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s2">Jonathan grew up in Chicago singing in church and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> got his first break thanks (in part) to his grandmother's babysitting gig. He did a lot of community theatre but by the time he graduated from high school, he stopped performing. After a quick (not great!) experience at a Christian bible college, Jonathan had the opportunity to audition for the University of Illinois and he took it. He worked hard, he wanted to learn, he used the tools they gave him, and he kicked off his prolific career.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s2">Jonathan has this No Shortcuts mantra and it's definitely the vibe of his three episodes. From professional wrestling, to a metaphysical discussion of Beyonce's Renaissance, to his love of small details, it all seems to come back to how all of these things effect his performance in Hamilton and everything else he does.</span></p> <p>///</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/chitownsoul217"><strong>Jonathan on Instagram</strong></a><br /> <a href="https://www.cartoonnetworkhq.com/show/jade-armor"><strong>Jade Armor</strong></a><br /> <a href="https://www.thirteen.org/podcasts/the-plate-show/"><strong>The Plate Show Podcast</strong></a></p> <p>///</p> <p><a href="https://gillianwithag.com/"><strong>Gillian's Website</strong></a></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>
