#464: Paul Louis Lessard // Hamilton's Philip Tour // Part Two

<p>Paul Louis Lessard currently plays King George III on Hamilton's Philip Tour and this week they tell us about how playing King Herod in Jesus Christ Superstar helped them get there.</p> <p>Paul was admittedly one of those people who had an "aversion" to Hamilton back in the 2016 era, but eventually he was listening to (and falling in love with) select songs like "Take a Break" and "Wait For It." But it was "You'll Be Back" that led him to write a Facebook post way back in 2016 letting the world know that one day he will be playing King George III. It didn't hurt that almost all of Paul's King Herod reviews mentioned a KG3 vibe, which Paul made sure casting knew about when he was auditioning for Hamilton almost eight years later in 2023.</p> <p><a href="https://www.paullouislessard.com/about"><strong>Paul Louis Lessard</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/paullouislessard/?hl=en"><strong>Paul on Instagram</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>
