PSN Peek: The Sound Design of Hamilton

When it comes to Broadway, the only word on anyone’s lips for the last year has been Hamilton. Having generated arguably the biggest buzz over a musical since The Producers, the show has become a modern phenomenon, but while the music and lyrics have captivated fans around the world, they don’t mean a thing if you can’t hear them. Which is why Glenn Kiser, director of the Dolby Institute (pictured), recently interviewed the man who ensures that happens every night—Hamilton’s sound designer, Nevin Steinberg—for The Dolby Institute and SoundWorks Collection's Conversations with Sound Artists podcast, which you can hear right now in this PSN Peek.
