Actor Leslie Odom, Jr. (L) and actor, composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (R) perform on stage during “Hamilton” GRAMMY performance for The 58th GRAMMY Awards at Richard Rodgers Theater on February 15, 2016 in New York City.<\/p><\/div>\n
Some of the most popular lyrics from that song include, \u201cDeath doesn’t discriminate between the sinners and the saints \/ It takes and it takes and it takes and we keep living anyway\u201d and \u201cIf there’s a reason I’m still alive when everyone who loves me has died \/ I’m willing to wait for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The track also left a strong impression on Odom Jr. himself, who told CBS News in 2016 that after hearing it, he was certain he wanted to be involved with Hamilton.<\/p>\n
“You hear a song like ‘Wait For It,’ you hear a song like ‘Dear Theodosia’ \u2014 if you get one of those songs in a musical \u2014 one \u2014 it’s worth dropping everything to sing that one song,” Odom Jr. said.<\/p>\n
“It’s the fact that… Aaron Burr gets ‘Wait For It’ and ‘Dear Theodosia’ and ‘The Room Where It Happens,’ and he gets to be the audience guide in that way. It’s just such a tremendous responsibility,” he added of the role.<\/p>\n
His work as Burr eventually paid off, as he earned a Tony award for Best Lead Actor in a Musical<\/a> for his role as Aaron Burr in Hamilton. The show took home a total of 11 Tony awards in 2016, including the prestigious Best Musical award.<\/p>\n![\"Disney](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/3xBv7LgXUxE7xyYQE_KjPA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/people_218\/45fae83e31465f56a63945ee253c61cd\"\/)
