A Decade and Counting
Thayne Jasperson, who originated the role of Loyalist Samuel Seabury in Hamilton, continues to perform in the Broadway show at the Richard Rodgers Theatre—making him the last remaining original cast member still onstage ten years later.
Living the Role
Known playfully as the “Phantom of the Rodgers,” he has grown so integrated with the theater that peers and fans joke he practically lives there.
Routine with Flair
Jasperson embraces the physical and emotional demands of performing eight shows a week—enjoying little rituals like eating kale, doing pre-show pull-ups, and even hand-washing laundry backstage.
Creative Engagement
He also filmed a lighthearted video series titled “At Home (The Richard Rodgers) with Thayne Jasperson”, reinforcing his unique bond with the theater.
A Personal Reflection
In an exclusive interview, Jasperson shared how he was drawn to Hamilton’s ambitious scope during its 2014 workshop and chose to stay—celebrating its evolution over time and memorable backstage moments involving luminaries like Michelle Obama and Beyoncé
