And we sort of realised there’s value in capturing what it feels like in the theatre with this company. We realised pretty early, even when the show was off Broadway, this is going to be a tough ticket. Talk me through how that decision was made. So, Hamilton is coming to Disney+, which is incredibly exciting – and a year earlier than planned. And so once it became clear that filming was not starting up any time soon, I began to work on those in earnest, yeah. I had some other writing projects that I was working on, but they were going to happen later. Boom! through to the end of April and I’d be editing in post-production. Well, on the alternate timeline – I feel like we all have an alternate timeline and what our year looks like… On that timeline I would have been filming Tick, Tick. Have you been able to start some creative work again then? It isn’t until very recently that I was able to have a creative life again and sort of start writing again, because your day is about what does the world look like? I have a five-year-old and a two-year-old, so they’re the day gone at 6am and it doesn’t start again until they’re asleep at 9pm. So it was a month of inertia because, you know, after the enormous momentum that goes into planning, it was just figuring out the new reality and what kindergarten looked like for my son. We filmed ten days of coverage when the call came – we were already social distancing on set when Netflix shut down all their productions.

I was shooting a movie I was making my directorial debut.

I think it took me the first month just to get my head around what the world looked like.
