Reporter David Menconi sat down with Fergie L. Philippe '17 as he prepares to perform in the Broadway hit at the Durham Performing Arts Center next month.
ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ alumnus Fergie L. Philippe recently sat down with the Raleigh News & Observer in a return to North Carolina as a member of the cast of the Broadway hit “Hamilton.”
Philippe has been part of the national tour of the award-winning show that is selling out venues around the country. A native of Miami, Philippe is playing the dual roles of Hercules Mulligan and James Madison in the production.
In the Q&A piece with reporter David Menconi of the News & Observer, Philippe notes that at ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ he and his fellow students received a lot of attention due to the size of the program. “It taught me more about humanity, the person I am and the contribution I can make to art, which I think is more important than the art itself,” Philippe told Meconi. “I’ll be doing a couple of visits to campus, just acting like a regular student again. I really miss it.”
Philippe is finishing a run of the show at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and then will move to Durham, which will host 32 performances between Nov. 6 and Dec. 2.
