Two St. Louis natives part of Hamilton production

Hamilton is back at the Fabulous Fox Theater through September 8th, and this touring company includes two people from the St. Louis area.

Nathaneal Hirst is a Belleville West High School graduate who is in the ensemble. Abby Powers is a Francis Howell North graduate who is the stage manager.

Listen to the interview with Debbie Monterrey from KMOX's Total Information AM:

"It's going to be really fun," says Powers. "Knowing you have family and friends in the audience is one of the most special things about touring. It almost feels like a big 'thank you' to all the people who've supported us. Parents who drove you around. Friends who came out to see you play Tree Number 3."

"I've been auditioning for this show since it came to Broadway in 2016," says Hirst. "And I just finally joined this year, and it just means so much to have so much support from St. Louis and my community here."
