After I saw Hamilton, I started watching more youtube videos about the performance. And I stumbled onto this mini-series were Adam Savage goes behind the scenes to see how the show comes together.
Its a fascinating look at what it takes to put on a production, and just how talented some people are - people that you never see, and who get little credit.
I've linked several episodes below, and they are worth watching. But consider for a moment that while we think about the performers being essentially unemployed while Broadway is dark - there are the unseen folks who drive the production and have other skills (likely most of them can't sing or dance and may never have a desire to!) are also out of work for now.
