Tree King talked with Simon Longnight, who portrays Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the musical Hamilton, playing now through November 24 at the Buell Theatre at DCPA.

Simon is an incredible, versatile performer and actor with substantial experience in theatre, dance, television, and film. After a hiatus, Simon rejoined Hamilton.

Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and show tunes.

Simon gained national recognition for his portrayal of Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the renowned musical. Longnight was handpicked to star opposite the writer and creator Lin Manuel Miranda in Puerto Rico and continued to perform in San Francisco, LA, and now in Denver!

Tune in to Mid-morning Jazz with Tree King on weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon.
