Travon and Mike head to Chicago to interview Ari Afsar, who plays Eliza in the Chicago production of Hamilton. She opens up about being an American Idol alumna, what Hamilton songs are most cathartic to perform, and why she’s definitely a Hamilton, not a Burr. She even lays down the beat from “Take a Break.” Plus, a bonus segment featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda and some very dedicated New York City Hamilheads.
