Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr. stopped by The Tonight Show earlier this month to sit in with The Roots and promote his self-titled solo album. But in a bonus “tales from backstage” segment, he talks about his emotional final performance as Aaron Burr (sir) in the groundbreaking musical. The Tony winner explains that in the week leading up to his departure he tried to “feel whatever [he] was feeling.” He’s been working on the show since its earliest workshops and he calls his exit “bittersweet.”
