See Lin-Manuel Miranda surprise a ‘Hamilton’ superfan with a special full-cast performance
This is amazing, uplifting, and absolutely wonderful.
John Krasinski, on the second episode of his YouTube show, Some Good News, gave a nine-year-old Hamilton megafan a surprise for the ages: he and the original Broadway cast surprised her with a virtual performance of her favorite song, Alexander Hamilton, the opening number for the musical.
Krasinski was joined by his wife Emily Blunt, who costarred with Lin-Manuel Miranda in Mary Poppins Returns, to deliver the happy news to the speechless young fan named Aubrey.
Miranda, who played Hamilton, kicked off the performance via video conference before he was joined by his former castmate Leslie Odom Jr., who portrayed Aaron Burr, and Anthony Ramos, who portrayed the dual roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton.
Then, Daveed Diggs (Marquis de Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson) jumped in, followed by Okieriete Onaodowan (Hercules Mulligan/James Madison), Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton) and Christopher Jackson (George Washington).
The group was also accompanied by the many more from the company, including Jasmine Cephas Jones (Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds), Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler), Jonathan Groff (King George) and Javier Muñoz, who was Miranda’s understudy before later headlining as Hamilton.
Enjoy!
