I chatted with Andrés, Alex Giosa, Juan Felipe Mayorga, Dena Tauriello, and Ryan McCausland about the behind-the-scenes experience and challenges of being a sub on such a challenging show.
In this video, Juan Felipe Mayorga talks about how he met Andres Forero and got the opportunity to sub on Hamilton. Juan, originally from Colombia, admired a jazz pianist named Hector Martino back in college. After moving to New York and studying at Drummers Collective, he connected with Hector, who introduced him to Andres. A casual meetup during an audition led Andres to invite Juan to watch Hamilton from the pit, eventually giving him the chance to sub for the show.
