Bonita Hamilton, James Brown-Orleans, and Enrique Segura had never really done a show that lasted more than a few months. But when they were cast as the Hyenas in the Broadway's The Lion King, their contracts were for yearlong commitments. They signed on the dotted line more than a decade ago and have been playing the same roles ever since. How do they keep it fresh night after night? What benefits have been afforded to them? Find out in the first edition in our brand-new video series.
