Austin Scott was most recently seen on Broadway in GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY. He also starred in both the Broadway and the National Touring companies of HAMILTON. Additional theater credits include HOOD (Dallas Theater Center), GOTTA DANCE (Broadway in Chicago), CHOIR BOY (Geffen Playhouse), IN THE HEIGHTS (Hangar Theatre, Broadway by the Bay). TV: POSE (FX).
Austin chats with me about what it was like to be performing in a new Broadway musical at the time of the shutdown, the benefits of not going the conservatory route, multiple auditions for the musical HAMILTON, learning how to step into Alexander Hamilton’s shoes, what he’s missing the most about playing Joe Scott in GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY, as well as a short passage from Conor McPherson’s stunning script.
