Summary
<p>Sabrina Imamura has been a swing with Hamilton since 2017 starting with the original Angelica Tour and including stops on Broadway (twice), the Eliza Tour (the Los Angeles sit down), the And Peggy Tour (which kicked off in Puerto Rico), and is currently on the Philip Tour.</p> <p>Sabrina started dancing and playing piano at three years old, with ballet being her first love and main focus. After a lot of success in the world of contemporary ballet and concert dancing, she graduated from the University of Michigan and began auditioning in New York City. Soon after, agents started sending her out for musical theatre. She didn't have a book, she'd never taken a voice lesson, and other than absolutely loving Phantom of the Opera, Sabrina had no *actual* musical theatre experience. Do you think that stopped Sabrina? ABSOLUTELY NOT. She grabbed her "Think of Me" sheet music, used her extensive piano skills to help her rehearse the vocals, harnessed what she called "fake confidence", and she walked into those audition rooms ready to go.</p> <p>Most of the time, Sabrina was called in for what she calls "Asian specific" shows and roles. That changed when Hamilton came along in 2016, which was also the first audition room where Sabrina got the information she was craving: the intention behind the movement, the story, not just the <em>what</em> but the <em>why.</em></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sabrinamiko/?hl=en">Sabrina on Instagram</a></strong><br /> <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/sabrinamikostyle/?hl=en">Sabrina's Fashion Account</a></strong><br /> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sabrinamiko_"><strong>Sabrina on TikTok</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>
