Gregory Treco (who appeared on Broadway in the short lived Boy George cult classic Taboo the musical) started off in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s smash hit as a standby in Broadway company and now is currently starring as the show’s narrator / villain “Aaron Burr” in the sit-down Chicago company at the CIBC Theatre
