    Getting your hair done by a tattoed 2m viking giant with a voice like rolling thunder. Damn.
  • @felixgla30
    for those who are interested: that hair-sack was used so the powder and oil in the hair doesn't leave marks and stains on the clothes
  • @ladypossum1776
    Guess you could say Adam's in The Room Where It Happens
  • Is it just me, or is a little weird seeing someone other than Johnathan Groff playing Georgie?
  • @gsterneman
    Thanks to Adam's videos, I went online and figured out that it would be cheaper for me to buy plane tickets and fly to San Fran to see Hamilton than it would be to buy tickets to the touring production currently in Dallas. See you on May 31!

    heavy is the head that wears the crown- quite literally, it seems!
  • Rick fits right in with Adam's style of interview - I feel like that share a similar comedic sense. This video seems really genuine because of that!
  • Adam: * having a great time, being enthusiastic, talking about production and design * George in the background: NO DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT, cause you're my favourite subject
  • I would watch a show where these two were partners struggling with that fact that the actors career was fading and the wig guy was becoming the biggest name in faux hair.
  • @Uldihaa
    I love seeing passionate, knowledgeable people chatting about their craft and the repeated revelation that we're all nerds in one way or another.
  • @daveco1270
    I wish they would have talked about how they do the microphones now. A lot of actors wear a tiny mic on their forehead, right around their hairline.
  • @mrKleen1
    He's like a kid in a candy shop, so awesome to see this stuff!
  • @jessical4866
    I have never realized until now how white Adam’s hair is getting. It’s closer to the color of the wig than the guy’s beard.
  • @MrNocilla123
    Daryl (the hairstyle guy) looks like a buffed up version of Adam
  • @emilyhills8386
    Okay. That lace headband just blew my mind!! I am stealing that!!!
