AGREED. His vocals gave me instant chills.

I've been lucky to see HAMILTON with three different casts (the original, Chicago, London), and each successive one has made me appreciate what an under-heralded wonder Christopher Jackson is. This guy has a vocal quality that's impossible to match, and hearing him sing during the Kennedy Center Honors gave me the same goosebump chills that I first got when I saw him perform on Broadway.

He's a multi-talented guy, writing and producing his own music as well, but i have to wonder if he'd prefer to be performing in another Broadway cast or simply doing his own thing.

And he's a terrific supporter on behalf of autism awareness

I have a neurological disorder; my daughter has two; and we have kids on the spectrum in our extended family. I saw this great article on the Jacksons in the American Academy of Neurology's Brain and Life magazine. One more reason to admire this talented man.

Thank you, GMB! For a while there, I thought I was the only one! I have also been lucky enough to see three HAMILTON casts, and I agree that he is an unheralded wonder. I heard some interview with the HAMILTON creative team way back in the beginning, and they asked Alex Lacamoire about his favorite moment of the show, and I'm paraphrasing here, but he said something like 'hearing Christopher Jackson sing.'
