Andrew Chappelle talks boy band fantasies, being a “TV thot,” and keeping close with his ‘Hamilton’ fam
Moesha. But after school, he set his sights on New York City and made his Broadway debut in Mamma Mia!, the timeless ABBA jukebox musical, before touring with a production of Priscilla Queen of The Desert.Of course, his biggest break came when he joined a little original off-Broadway shows you might have heard of called Hamilton.
Chappelle went on to perform with the Tony-winning show on Broadway for five years, remaining close with the cats to this day.So close, in fact, that he’s still working with them!
He can currently be seen in the second season of Starz’s critically acclaimed series Blindspotting, opposite Hamilton co-star Jasmine Cephas Jones and produced by Daveed Diggs.
He’s also been touring film festivals with a comedic short he co-wrote and stars in called Fanatic—which happens to be directed by another one of his former “Ham” family: Taran Killam.Busier than ever, Chappelle still found time to sit in the hot seat for Dishin’ It, our our rapid-fire Q&A series.
