EP. 9 — Yvette Nicole Brown: Heart, Comedy, History
Yvette Nicole Brown (The Odd Couple, Community) has been friends with Leslie Odom Jr. for over a decade. If that’s not enough to make you jealous, how about the fact that she was in the audience for Hamilton’s opening night on Broadway? She tells Travon why the show made her want to learn more about rap and why she admires Angelica’s strength of character. Plus, you really don’t want to miss Yvette singing along to “Alexander Hamilton.” Take note, Hamilheads: our next episode will drop on Tuesday, October 18th.
