Chris Leary is a Norfolk native who attended VCU in theatre before heading to NYC, where he eventually landed a job as a dresser on Hamilton and now on Saturday Night Live. We talk about:
– Getting from VCU to NYC
– How he got on Hamilton
– Behind the scenes at the Tony Awards
– Working on Spielberg’s West Side Story
– Dressing on SNL (including Bowen Yang)
NOTE: Since Chris was so much fun and so informative, his interview will continue next week with Part 2 (more on SNL plus RuPaul’s Drag Race).
Speaking of drag, here’s another Tequila Mockingbird.
