[0:00] Joel Crump: Welcome to a very special episode of The Weekly Dose of Joel. Today, I'm joined by a true Broadway legend, Tony Award winner Renée Elise Goldsberry. You know her as Angelica Schuyler from Hamilton, and now her story is hitting the big screen in a brand new documentary called Satisfied. This film takes us behind the current of Hamilton's historic rise and into Renée's own journey of artistry, resilience, and motherhood. It's raw, it's personal, and it's inspiring. I met up with Renée right in the heart of Times Square, in front of her very own billboard, to talk about the premiere, her Broadway homecoming, and the balance between career and family.
[0:35] Renée Elise Goldsberry: Today, I am celebrating the premiere of my documentary, Satisfied, and I'm doing it in partnership with IR code, which is this awesome new technology where you can download straight from a picture, not from an icon. If you just download the IR code app, you know, to have special experiences. You can buy tickets to my film, you can come to a Q&A and meet me today, and you can stream my music. How exciting is that? I mean, this has to be home. You're in the obviously, which we can see right here. I know. Renée, over on 40th and Hamilton, to be having this journey and now be back here, home on Broadway, how does that feel?
[1:25] Renée Elise Goldsberry: It feels like I want to jump in the air. I mean, it doesn't get better than this, does it? It's so fun. Yeah. Yeah, I'm pinching myself. It's a surreal moment. It's exciting. It's been a long time coming to tell the story. We've been, you know, I started telling it while I was in Hamilton. Right. And now we're celebrated with these huge billboards in the greatest city in the world. The last thing I want to talk to you about is motherhood. I know you're a mother and I know that's a big part of this documentary. What does it mean to you to be a mother and be a stage mom? It's not easy, but you do it so well.
[1:53] Renée Elise Goldsberry: Thank you. Well, I figure it out and I get to watch a lot of other people do it really, really well. And the most important thing I need to do is kind of forgive myself for the things, you know, the times that the balance is off and just thank my husband and my children for their patience and their support of me through the process. You can't do anything without support.
[2:14] Joel Crump: Yeah. Thank you so much, Renée. Congratulations. That was Renée Elise Goldsberry, whose new documentary, Satisfied, is in movie theaters nationwide for a limited release between September 30th and October 2nd. If you want to relive the magic of Hamilton while seeing the untold story of one of its brightest stars, do not miss this film. A huge thank you to Renée for joining me in Times Square for this unforgettable conversation. And thank you for tuning into this edition of The Weekly Dose of Joel.
