Ha is no stranger to shifting contexts. The son of restaurateurs, he moved around a lot as a kid—from Seoul to Hong Kong to Connecticut to New Jersey—and attended both public schools and the elite boarding academy Choate. “I grew up washing dishes, busing tables, and watching my parents work day and night to put me through school,��� he says. Feeling unprepared for a career in acting after high school, he delayed enrolling in the NYU conservatory program and pursued a degree in East Asian language and culture at Columbia University. “If I were to sum it up, college for me was exploring my identity as an Asian American,” he says. “What is my heritage? Where do I fit in?”

His ruminations on race and its implications continued when, two months after graduating from NYU, he was cast in a Chicago production of Hamilton, becoming the first non-white actor to play King George. “Hamilton’s done so much for musical theater, telling the immigrant’s story and bringing people of color onto the stage in roles that aren’t usually written for us,” Ha says. “I don’t wish to be the first Asian-American anything, but if it is to be the case, I will proudly step into it, and, more importantly, clear the path for everybody else behind me to follow.” {x}

Can we just acknowledge all the amazing things happening at once in this? Oak’s little jig, Anthony’s fancy moves, Thayne’s facial expressions, Ephraim hurrying by with his pants only half-on, and Jon Rua just jumping up and dabbing. 

These silly boys give me life <3
