    Rory O'Malley's comic road to King George in 'Hamilton' started in Burbank

    by Jessica Gelt, Los Angeles Times Dec 12, 2017 4 minutes

    LOS ANGELES - Rory O'Malley's husband says O'Malley's head has gotten bigger since it's been wearing a crown. O'Malley doesn't argue. Playing King George III in the national tour of "Hamilton," after ruling the role for nine months on Broadway, has done wonders for his self-confidence.

    "It's definitely a high when you walk onstage and everybody starts applauding before you even say anything," O'Malley says over coffee in Burbank on a recent afternoon. The sun pounds mercilessly on an outdoor table, causing O'Malley, the self-professed "whitest person who ever walked the face of the Earth," to shrink like a violet.

    King George provides comic relief in Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical, which wraps its run at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre on Dec. 30.
