"Hamilton" Star Renée Elise Goldsberry Unveils Emotional Documentary "Satisfied"

Renée Elise Goldsberry, the acclaimed actress who portrayed Angelica Schuyler in the hit musical "Hamilton," is set to unveil her highly anticipated documentary "Satisfied." The film, which will premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Festival, offers a deeply personal look into Goldsberry's life as she navigated the challenges of building a family while simultaneously pursuing her passion for theater.

Goldsberry, now 54 years old, recently reflected on the moment she first heard the "Hamilton" song "Satisfied," which she performed in the musical. She recalls "cursing out loud" upon hearing the demo, as she was struck by the brilliance and speed of the track. Goldsberry was so enamored with the song that she even re-recorded it for her own album, a testament to its enduring impact.

The documentary "Satisfied" serves as a celebration and a tell-all account of Goldsberry's experiences. It explores the process of bringing "Hamilton" to life while she simultaneously struggled to start a family, ultimately welcoming her son Benjamin in 2009 and her daughter Brielle in 2014. Goldsberry's journey of balancing her career and personal life is a testament to her resilience and determination, and she hopes the film will encourage others to pursue their dreams without sacrificing their personal aspirations.

As the "Hamilton" musical celebrates its 10th anniversary, Goldsberry's documentary serves as a poignant and timely reflection on the sacrifices and triumphs that come with pursuing one's passions in the theater industry.
