the broadway smash hit "hamilton," emmy and grammy award-winning actor, musician and composer, chris jacksonone at home join our conversation right now on twitter@nightly using the hashtag tonightly. so i will talk about what you just talked about. the whole controversy surrounding beyonce's album lemonade. some people are criticizing her for getting all political and real saying she should leave that alone and just stick to music. others are praising her for making a stand. why are people so upset that beyonce is evolving as an artist. >> because it is 2016 and people love to bitch, larry, that's what it is. if you your biggest problem in 2016 is beyonce, kill yourself. end it. >> oh no. >> larry: is that what it is? >> that simple. >> listen, i think the big thing is that a lot of people felt like beyonce was a safe flak, she has light skin and blond hair and they're like she's not that-- she's not going to talk about black issues and got tricked because they had to remember that she she's actually black and that she can talk about black [bleep] >> larry: right, i like people think there i

chris jackson plays george washington. he sought me out. a lot of the actors didn't and i did not want to really undercut what the producer and director were doing at the rehearsal. harold: my experience in being a historical advisor was rather thankless and frustrating. i talked with tony kushner on this stage when the lincoln movie came out and the problems that had arisen. i was always asked my opinion and spielberg would say he didn't like the way i thought it should be and i would say it's not the way i think it's the way it was. his view was that art can go where history cannot. hamilton has one son in the play and he had five. it is made more simple. did they ask you to give that an ok? ron: if you ask me about my one big take away was, is that history is long and complicated and broadway shows have to be tightly constructed. i had hundreds of people mentioned in the book. a broadway show you have to have had most maybe eight or 10 principals. everything has to keep happening to them. sometimes things would happen in the show not to

and chris jackson and i, chris plays gorge washington, he's as much a history buff as i am, if not more. so we're both west wing fanatics. so he, was dawnted by stepping too george washington's shoes because he knew everything that meant, and it represented. he had done his homework. he had read the biography of washington three or four times, big book. it was interesting to talked to daf ed who said i never felt like any of those stories were relevant to my life and my yup bringing. we grew up the story of the creation of this dri is our story too. >> what were you looking for in casting all this, you and tommy. >> people who could do it. that sounds simple but it's hard. >> why? >> because it's a ton of language. it's easier for to you do this show if you maybe have done a little shakespeare, maybe done a little chekhov, than if you have done three musicals. >> because of the sheer abundance of language, and the piece. and so. >> it is shakespeare in terms of how much you can get. >> not in terms of quality n terms of-- in terms of quantity. >> quantity. >> within time. >> yeah, an de

chris jansen is in the village of jackson, wisconsin tonight having spoken to donald trump earlier today. chris. >> reporter: i did indeed. here is one of three. these counties where republicans are very, very heavy. it's one of the most republican areas in the country. most reliably republican. it's been busy all day long. let any take a check of how many voters have gone through here. one of the reasons donald trump told me he thought he would do well is because of turn out. seemingly not understanding in these three counties, high turn out favors ted cruz. he was unaware of the reports in politico, by nbc news, on the cover of new york magazine, reports that his campaign is disarray. fighting between the people who have been with him for years and the new political types that are coming in. i asked him about some of the criticism he's taken. his criticism of the governor, his criticism of the speaker of the house. his criticism of talk radio h t hosts. here is what he told me. >> you don't feel ill served that you didn't know they had been leading an anti-trump -- >> i don't mind that

. >> well, let's go right now to nbc's chris jansing, at a polling place in the village of jackson, wisconsin tonight. chris, thanks for joining us. i've got an interesting question for you. if donald trump is going to win tonight, why isn't he going to be in wisconsin? why he is back in new york? >> reporter: well, maybe he is hearing what we're hearing here, this is what they call the wow counties, three of them that are critical to republicans. in fact, they have some of the highest turnout right here, you can see all the people. if you go down this line, chris, they're going to go about a 52% turnout absolutely fantastic. he said that's one of the reasons he thinks he'll potentially win here. the problem is that this is heavily scott walker, and that h this is a place he made his come back. the reasons that donald trump came here and sounded as though he was so positive about his prospects here, it doesn't look good for him, when you have the kind of turnout in these heavily republican areas, that have been the the past of favorite scott walker. >> a new report out in politico. it says do

chris. >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. ted cruz heads into tomorrow's new york primary with some momentum after securing all 14 of wyoming's delegates on saturday, cutting into donald trump's delegate lead. could that all come undone in the next 24 hours? joining me with his break down the delegate math is nbc news political editor mark murray. mark, the delegate rules for each state have been different and distinct and bewildering and confusing. give us a quick rundown on what the new york rules are. >> the new york rules are if you end up getting 50% more statewide and also in every single of new york's 27 congressional districts, you can win all 95 delegates that are up for grabs. i think everyone realizes that donald trump is going to do very well tomorrow in new york. the only question is how much. i have him projected about getting anywhere between 75 and 85 of new york's 95 delegates. the way for ted cruz and for john kasich to really keep donald trump below 95 and all 95 is to be able to hold him down at a congress

jackson. hallie, it's happening, right? >> reporter: yeah, chris. it's gonna be happening sometime in the next couple of minutes. we expect the program to get under way, to see ted cruz and carly fiorina on this stage together, according to what a high level source is confirming to me. this caps really speculation that began back in early march when fiorina first endorsed cruz in a surprise appearance at a miami rally. she's been a surrogate for him on the campaign trail ever since and really one of his most prominent surrogates. she's done not just the campaigning, the events on her own, but has done a lot of delegate hunting for cruz even as he loses to donald trump in the primaries and it becomes mathematically impossible for him to lock up the nomination outright. cruz and fiorina will be headed to convention to continue to do delegate work, making a personal pitch together. so the big question now, though, chris, and one that we'd like to pose to the campaign is, why today? why the timing today? it should be clear after coming off of what has b
