- On “Love for the Techies Day," production stage manager Jason Bassett calls the cues while Lin-Manuel and the company perform “Ten Duel Commandments” (without the dual turntables).
- Zábava
is hamilton so fucking perfect that they actually acknoledge and show appreciation for the tech crew? as someone who has spent high school backstage on sound, fuck yeah.
I actually run the crew at my local middle school. (our production of grease had 2 1/3 turn tables that we had to load from under a 3 foot platform -not fun btw..., a garage door, a full size foam car on casters, two hinged walls on either side of the side of the proscenium and at least 4 flown items)
This whole thing, including the fly's were run by 8 6th-8th grade students with me supervising. I am proud to say the actors and the shows producers recognize the work done by the crew, the builders and the technical crew. It makes me sad when I hear of theaters where the tech crew does not get recognized so good on these guys!
+Tyler Russell good job! That sounds like way too much responsibility for me, but damn I gotta give you props for all of that!
tw11n gem11n11 yes! techie! I'm a sound guy too
RIGHTTT LIKE THATS SO GOOD
Shout out to Lin for running just to pet a dog
haha I caught that too! The best!
When was that??
+Mara Lewis 4:27 :)
He ran TWICE! 2:16 and 4:27, I love him😂
he's too pure for this world
"techies are shy" there's a reason we are techies!
+Camille Lombard my brother started as an actor and went into tech a few years later, he's now a stage manager and lighting designer (does lighting, sound or stage management depending on where he's needed)
I wouldn't exactly call him shy, he's gone on stage in drag more than once :p
Lic021 haha that's fair! The previous tech manager in my theatre was also an actress and she was amazing on stage, but most or us techies would never go on stage :D
Is it because you're amazing?
honestly tho
there's no way I would sing on stage which is why I'm on stage crew and the one time we had to go on stage we all hid behind the cast
There is 23 light cues in this song alone. No wonder it won the Tony for Best Lighting ;)
There's a show on the West End (I can't remember which one) which has 750 lighting cues throughout (it's a musical). That's considered a low amount...If this number has 23 alone....I don't even want to know how many are across the entire show...
There are a total of 856
Dan Crew mouth drop
Dan Crew 😲
@@dancrew1866 that is....a lot of lights 😲😲
Cracking me up that they cut out they end because there was no way they were yelling "FIRE" on a crowded New York street on 9-11
Pse Udo one two three four five six seven eight nine GOOD LUCK WITH THE LOTTO!!
Do you have Disney+?
Let’s appreciate that they yelled “good luck with the lotto” too. They organised to loudly yell that so that it would cover anyone who did yell fire.

How does one bet a got hamilton shirt
+burningphoenix36 hey go to hamiltonbroadway.com and they have the official ones, you can buy them online or at the show if you go, but those are all around $40. there are some cool ones on redbubble that aren't official designs, but they have shirts that Lin and the rest of the cast has bougjt
Addison Ramirez no duh
Addison Ramirez he should just be mah boyfriend already seriously
Gay Person he deserves Jasmine
1. TECH CREW BEST CREW
2. That moment when Leslie took off his sunglasses and put them on Jon.
3. TECH CREW BEST CREW
I only have 2 words for you: Jon Rua
Time stamp?
@@binx414 3:40. It happens as someone passes in front of them, but you can still see some of the exchange.
@@mirandabee2323 thank you!
I am so glad this exists. So many people have absolutely no clue what it is we stage managers do during rehearsal and performances. Now I can point them to this video, which has a brilliant stage manager showing us all up by calling cues - notice that he starts at LQ 450? And that he's calling a new cue every few seconds? This man is badass!
+Anja Hose Is there something special about LQ450? Is that like the 450th lighting cue/q?
+QuikVidGuy Yes, exactly! Each cue is numbered, usually starting at 1. However, in some instances like dance concerts or musicals, you might start in Cue 101 and then start the next song at Cue 201, and so on. It's a way of organizing - cues go in order but you can skip numbers, if that makes sense.
Our school has light cues go by number, and sound cues go by letter
i did a school production of peter pan and was stage manger along with another girl and we didn't get mentioned in the 'thankyous' in the last performance
Cinnamondoodle i believe thats pretty standard
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW FUCKING FABULOUS THEY SOUNDED LIKE OMFG YASSS
i think it sounds even better than on the album^^
I would 100% watch a full-length video of Jason Bassett calling the entire show.
The harmonies in this show are freaking amazing.
As a person who does theatre, I would just like to thank any and every person who does any sort of backstage work for any shows. Us actors and actresses may memorise the lines and "put on" the show, but the crew is the reason the show goes on in the first place. Without crew there's no lights, no sound. There's no set if the crew sets the set. Sometimes people miss their queues because the crew makes sure that people are where they need to be. Every little thing that isn't a person onstage is crew and that's pretty damn amazing.
Phoebe Martin people like you who don't think we techies do nothing restores my faith In humanity thank you 😊
We do are best. Y’all make the crowd go wild and are insanely talented, we just set the stage and make sure everything looks nice and is safe
yep I agree! I’m not doing big performances at the moment and I haven’t done theatre in 2 years and 3 months (I’ve been counting because u miss it) but I have experience on it all so I totally agree with this! I wish everyone got credit at the end of all shows☺️
Phoebe at my middle school, tech ran out and got a bow as well. It was fun as hell every show
Ok but
Lin jumping before the song starts
I HAD TO PAUSE AND REPLAY IT LIKE 4 TIMES
"ThisisTenDuelCommandmens!"
I thought I was the only one XD
"thisistenduelcomandmnts"
IT'S KDAHSHDBDBSS * ^ *
Jon Rua and Leslie Odom Jr's sunglasses trade is my favorite...
I KNOW RIGHT
here i am, crying, taking in the fact that this is the closest ill ever get to see hamilton with the original broadway cast,
Saame
Same... 😭 dang it! I'm Cryi... I mean yeah...
It keeps leaking here on CZcams if you haven't seen it yet. Just keep an eye out.
shawnydabunny has one up.
Just wait. The official recording will be out in no time.
a=Holy shit, they sound exactly like the cast album
Grace Nern they are the cast album
IS u stupid?
No shit
This is the most amazing thing ever as a stage manager and as a girl who wants to stage manage as a career
Just every detail of this show is amazing - even the lotto system
Is it a system that all shows have or not? I know RENT had a lottery while it was on Broadway - is it not common practice? (It should be if it isn't!)
yes...but the other shows don't give you a free show while your waiting! everything about hamilton is a game changer
yes...but the other shows don't give you a free show while your waiting! everything about hamilton is a game changer
+Sabina Barber most shows don't have a lotto. i think hamilton is the only one at this point in time
+Francis Carbone Ugh. I know, right? Everything, EVERYTHING they do just screams "we LOVE live theatre, and we want you to love it, too". So inspiring!
2:25 Anthony couldn’t keep a straight face it’s so adorable 😭
"If he doesn't say go at exactly the right time, we fly off the stage!"
**crowd laughs**
That's not funny. I'm a little horrified. He's totally right, those turntables are actually a very dangerous and very complicated bit of machinery and have to be called perfectly. If anything goes wrong, they could cause very serious problems. There's so much that goes on behind scenes that people don't understand. And when you have big, intense numbers like this, THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON ON THOSE HEADSETS.
I wish more shows did something to make techies' jobs more known and their importance more known.
Right?! How perfect they sing The Ten Duel Commandments on such a scary piece of equipment 😱
They are extremely dangerous and temperamental. I worked as a techie assistant/apprentice and one day during rehearsal the turntable desided to break by stopping and then suddenly lurching and throwing everyone on it off. from where we operate we can't see much of the stage so we just listen over the radio for cues so we did know that it wasn't working and just heard the panic from the cast. After this we got a bigger window which did help prevent some accidents.
Got to love revolves and automation. The Hamilton donut has some stupidly fast automation cues. The automation I opped in town was a serious speed donut and it can easily go very wrong with someone out of step....
Just imagine Lin’s next musical: “The Techies” 😂😂
Yep this facts right there. I’m only 13 but I’ve worked on turntables before for a production of Aladdin in front of 200 people! (The biggest crowd I’ve performed in front of) Obviously it wasn’t a huge crowd or huge musical as there’s as we were only kids at the time (11 and 12 year olds) but we were so scared to have to dance, act and sing while those turntables were moving because ANYTHING could go wrong like you’ve said and it’s absolutely terrifying! And on top of that during our performance we did a whole new world which meant we had a “magic carpet” so there was a lot of dangerous tech on that stage and a lot of people watching so it’s scary because we don’t want to get hurt but we also don’t want the audience and our family and friends witnessing it! so yeah😂
did anyone else hear leslie's voice break at 3:16?
"hAve him turn around so he can have the liability"
😂 baby
kyd nord omg XD
Deniability...
@@lc-eq5fi Oak too 😂
RENEE IS THE CUTEST/YOUNGEST LOOKING 45-YEAR OLD MOTHER OF TWO WHAT HOW
can i just talk about how goddamn beautiful these harmonies are okay
As someone who does tech I can vouch for the “techies are shy” comment. Getting that guy to stand in front of a crowd is probably the hardest sell Lin Manuel Miranda will ever endure.
So let's all play a sad song for the jaws that hit the floor belonging to those who didn't realize Charles Lee is drop dead gorgeous.
Rebecca Hughes me
Rebecca Hughes The actor who plays Lee is Jon Rua
Jon Rua is a damn beautiful specimen
John Rua is so handsome.
The crazy woman flailing her arms while ruining across the performance and kissing her ticket then running back pushing actors out of the way......yeah I wanna duel her.
when was that?
Ok but that part where Mr. Lin says that techies are shy and Mr. Jason leans on the wall, proving his point, is an entire mood
Let's take a moment to appreciate the Burr X Lee moment there
Ejreen Del Mundo LEEBURR
As an SM and a diehard Hamilton fan, this means the world to me.
+kamcd711 RIGHT?! my fave broadway memory is sitting in the Wicket SM booth a year after it opened. True art.
tbh this is probably one of my favorite ham4hams besides the ladies of hamilton bc 1- They all look so adorable 2- ANTHONY RAMOS 3- ITS TEN DUEL COMMANDMENTS
I love how they still went and did the turns even without the turn tables. That poor line looked so smushed
MY boyfriend who is a natural born theater nerd and techie fucking loves this
Leslie runs out that door like "I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!!!"
when they came out of the door one by one they were all bobbing and jumping and just a bundle of sunshine all excited to meet the audience omggg what a blessing
"Got Hamilton."
Oh I wish I did.
I have never appreciated Jon Rua's voice more than now
It sounds just like the album
Colorfulcactus and they're on the pavement. this is insane
As a theatre nerd I am absolutely in love with this.
okay, but Lin’s “come at me bih” pose at 4:00 is by far the best thing I’ve seen ever.
i think this is my favorite ham4ham
I'm so sad that I'll never see this live with the original cast.
same
I think we all are
Emily Pyles It's online
I'm from the future. It's online now.
@@asherujudo7383 🤣
The whole time, I was terrified people were gonna run into each other. I've seen people try to do big choreography in a cramped setting, and it's not pretty. A few times, you can see Anthony actually stop mid-step because he's about to hit a company member. Lol
You noticed that too?!
When?
I kept staring at Morgan and Carleigh throughout the whole thing like my god why are the ensemble members so beautiful I'm crying
As I an SM, I absolutely love this.
im dying of anthony's cuteness he's my fave (along with everyone else in the cast they're also my faves) this is adorable and amazing and ahhhhhhhh
the "most disputes die and no one shoots" part though
This was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. As someone who wants to go into stage management, this was super cool. Seeing him call the cues during their performance gave me chills and put a silly grin on my face.
Watching this side by side, synced up with the disney+ version is incredible. You actually see the lights change as he's calling it
3:45 Pippa, Jazzy and Oak laughing at eachother🥺🥺🥺
I only have 2 words for you: Jon Rua
I know right?
Yasss
Yes.
02:14 lin's jump so cute
as a fellow musical stage manager this truly warms my heart
As a stage manager myself, this brought me a lot of joy. We are shy, that's why we stay out of the lights, but it's great to be appreciated, especially with a cue set this grand.
I have so much more respect for this cast after realizing this performance was in the midst of some messy and heavy arguing over compensation. The actors weren’t all necessarily getting along, they felt undervalued, and yet they still all performed for free with smiles on their faces.
I am now sending this video to my friends when they ask what I do as a stage manager.
I see Oak and Pippa and Renee and Jasmine, where was Daveed?! I love that they put all this effort in to figure out a performance without their usual setup just to give props to the guy who has one of the most important jobs that no one knows about.
Also, Anthony is an angel. There are very few celebs that I think could make me completely freak out if I were to meet them in person, but I'm pretty sure he's one of those few.
Mallory Jones I'd like to point out that Anthony is ROCKING that man bun
Mallory Jones I think Daveed wasn't there. Some of the ensemble members weren't either, from what I could tell
That woman running across whole they are preforming.....rude much? She could have went a different way than right through their area.
I think she was just trying to get through as fast as she could, she was obviously dropping something off for someone at the lotto booth. She was just a little flustered, and she looked embarrassed to be doing it.
+Gretchen Guimarin She was trying to get her name into the lotto. Honestly it just seems rude. Kind of feels like she just wants to go to a popular Broadway show rather than actually appreciate the performance, seeing as she paid no attention to the one being given by literally the entire OBC.
lol love how they are scooting around at 3:34 as if there were turntables
so adorable :3
Can we just talk about Leslie casually sticking his sunglasses on John Rua’s face?
Yes.
I would give almost anything to have hair like Carleigh's. its sooooo pretty.
I THOUGHT INWAS THE ONLY ONE THAT NOTICED OML LIKE IM IN LOVE
I agree
4:27
AWW THE DOG IS SO CUTE THAT LIN PET
The “Most disputes die and no one shoots” give me so much serotonin. THE CHORDS ARE SO SEXY BRO WTF IT GIVES ME CHILLS I’m literally bouncing rn ohmygod
As someone who's on tech crew and costume department at my school, I very much appreciate that they show appreciation for us that do all the behind-the-scenes work. We are the kind of people that typically get ignored so it's nice to get recognition
3:04 when they do the spinny thing godDAMN what I would give to see that on stage
Love fot the Techie Day.
The fact that they show sopport for ALL cast, crew and assamble is what makes me love this musical even more.
is this the closest I'll ever get to seeing the entire original cast of Hamilton perform?
Honey, have I got news for you...
“Most disputes die and no one shoots”
*Lee gets shot in a duel*
*Philip gets shot in a duel*
*HAMILTON gets shot in a duel*
This was one of my favorite Ham4Hams.
2:39 Leslie must be having a good time
As a techie and (hopefully) future SM on broadway this legit made me cry. It's amazing that they brought attention to the amazing work of stage managers! This isn't easy and like Lin said it has to be done perfect every night. Thank you thank you thank you. It was also just amazing to hear him call it.
"-at exactly the right time, we fly off the stage. Our lives are literally in his hands" why did I find this so funny? 😂
this was the. coolest.
I’m onstage in my middle schools productions and I never knew that our lights people did so much. Our stage manager just gets us being the curtain in the right times and stuff. Our people in the light and sound booth do so much that you don’t even know some times. Being backstage is just as important
I started listening to Jason give his cues, then got lost in watching the cast perform, then came back to Jason.
That adrenaline dance move. So fucking smooth and perfect. I can't handle this whole number.
Shout out 2 hamilton for acknowledging every member who has helped with the shows success including those BEHIND the stage as well as those performing ON the stage!
Thank god Leslie got his sunglasses back,lol
As a former stage manager this made me happy and gave me flashbacks to some nightmare productions.
4:05 the way anthony goes up to jasmine 🥺
I like how Lin is just wearing a "got hamilton?" shirt xD
I NEED
I got it online
i loved how i can recognize all of the ensemble members from the musical
I am shaking while watching this because 1) AH I LOVE THIS 2) I'm stage manager in our elementary/middle school talent show so YEET, RECOGNITION!! 3) that sunglasses exchange 4) everything about this!
Bro I can’t stop laughing at the fact jasmines dying of laughter at 3:46
why is charles lee so hot
Dank MiMi because Jon Rua is perfect in every way
The DSM/SM has so much power. It's great. Personally I love being on the fly floor and listening over cans to "Fly 1 stand-bye" Me: "Standing By" "Fly go" Me: Lowers/hoists the thing. The physicality of flying is just really nice. Plus you get a great view :D
+lakerose Counterweight flying is more or less completely gone where I work (Norway). The theatre where I work currently has 40 motorized flybars.
Me, an aspiring stage manager, being proud of myself at being able to understand the cues.
(I have stage managed three shows but that was two school shows and an amateur panto, which we did cues differently because our kit isn’t as good and we have considerably less cues, I was mainly just telling them when the stage was ready for the lights to go up and music start and they went from there. So I only cued them in scene changes. Also, I’m 15 and first started tech when I was 12 because I used to dance in the shows but developed stage fright and feel safer backstage in the dark. So yes, I went from performing and having an okay amount of confidence to becoming shy and anxious and invisible.)
As a stage manager, this makes me so happy and blows my mind at the amount of cues he has to call
Yay tech!! Not only does this have a bunch of my precious children but my people are celebrated! #gotech This is my favorite Ham4Ham!
i'm a stage manager for a play and it is one of the hardest job eveeeeeeer cry
I have to watch it once to hear the Stage Manager and then again to hear the words to the song!
whoever recorded this..bless you
This is probably my favorite Ham4Ham. I love this cast and this show. Everything is just so amazing.
We watched this today in my stage managing class and it was the greatest day of my life
why can't i get this recognition? I'm the stage manager and have been for the last 3 years....
This guy has a++++ concentration! How the heck does he keep up with all those queues!
I wish I was there for that Ham4Ham
I just LOVE Pippa. She is soooo nice and held the door for everyone
3:30 my fave bit lol
THE STAGE MANAGERS ARE AMAZING WE STAN
Entire company?
Where the f U C k is DAV EE D
AngelDax I WAS GONNA SAY THAT BUT I DIDN’T WANT TO SOUND LIKE I ONLY COME FOR HIM!!!
Dude I was wondering the same damn thing lmao
