For leading ladies Morgan Wood, Marja Harmon and Rebecca Covington, this production of Hamilton is a chance to reconnect with a live audience
Three years ago, until COVID-19 restrictions shuttered public gatherings such as theatre productions, the hit Broadway showwas the hottest ticket in Toronto. Theatre lovers from near and far had made elaborate plans to watch the Tony, Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning show by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Originally slated for a 2½-month run by Mirvish Productions, the curtains came down on that production after just four weeks onstage.
“It’s just a marathon. Everyone’s on stage, pretty much the whole time – all three hours,” she says. “... It’s one of the hardest things I have ever done. But then when we all get together in one bow at the end, it’s rewarding. I think that’s what makes the show so powerful. That it’s not one person telling a story.”is also a lyrically dense show, adds Harmon, who plays Angelica Schuyler.
“We didn’t know when and how we were going to return. And I think it’s still a bit rocky – COVID. It still exists for us, for everyone. Being in the theatre and being in such confined spaces, it’s hard,” says Covington. “Yes, we were able to find other ways to perform – online and in Zoom environments. We were able to bring other people who are at home some joy. But it didn’t replace theatre. I think we really got to see how important it is to not take it for granted. So, we definitely come back with a new appreciation and renewed priorities.”
