At today's Live #Ham4Ham show, Lin introduces our new #Ham4Ham host, King Rory O'Malley, and brought out special guest Aaron Tveit.

[@kathleenmcbride8911]

Lin looks kinda like that one 6 year old girl who's a bit too thrilled to be playing tambourine at her elementary school's choir performance.

[@madelynbraun8653]

AKA 1st grade me

[@dashad.4673]

He has the buns and everything 😂

Omg I literally said the same thing lol

[@AliciaKeele]

[@baileywill689]

This is too true

[@naturelover9716]

I am currently trying to explain to my sister that the guy with pig tails and a leather jacket playing the tambourine is a certified genius who won two Grammys, an Emmy, and a million Tonys.

I love how he entered completely in character as Gabe, just giving Rory that mischief glare.

No one: Literally not a single soul: Aaron Tveit terrorizing gay theatre actors bc he's hot and he knows it:

Only Lin could pull of pigtails and a leather jacket while playing the tambourine.

I was there and I can confirm I literally experienced death when he Aaron showed up

No, because Gabe is alive. The audience is deader than dead.

[@samanthaparuli2042]

Fun Fact: Aaron was actually snuck into the Richard Rodgers Theatre via tunnel from the Imperial Theatre, where Les Misérables is currently playing. The trio of Lin-Manuel, Rory, and Aaron even stopped by the barricade to take a quick picture. (Hey, at least he didn’t have to travel through a sewer like Valjean.)

[@theyluvtwoset.13]

Awwwww that's adorable! Lin and Rory are such big tveiter-tots I love it

[@spookyjim31]

Lin is the biggest fangirl of us all.

[@holly9096]

I'm a simple woman. I see Tveit and I click

[@shadowhunters8964]

Admit it... Regardless of your gender - you would click!

[@juliasings6131]

I mean, valid

[@beek.4860]

It's been a solid 7 years and I still think about this video on a regular basis. It's like one of my fever dreams. A Pulitzer Prize-winning songwriter in pigtails plays the tambourine and a Grammy-winning composer/director plays some kind of bizarre mouth accordion keyboard while Aaron Tveit crashes the show to terrorize Rory O'Malley in the middle of a song about repressing gay thoughts. It doesn't get better than this.

[@ptrocks99]

We need Aaron to be in Hamilton. #AaronforKingGoerge

[@vmp916]

And kick out Rory that soon?

[@ptrocks99]

No, they could alternate showss

[@reginacerezo6488]

Lin: "Not everyone will win" Me: "You already won when you get to see Aaron Tveit and you live, Lin"

[@inklings_press]

And in that moment, Rory O'Malley was all of us.

[@ReadingOne]

I know this is an old video, but I still love that Aaron started singing, noticed his mic wasn't working, then just kept on going while he figured out how to switch it on, without pausing at all.

[@Chris-vk8pr]

When Aaron came out I almost squealed

[@kalenaantone]

Me exactly!!!

[@baileyjackson2955]

I did when I saw the hashtag.

[@Aluradevries]

I think Lin and Aaron needs to do a play together. Lin has done some amazing musicals, and with Aaron's rang, plus their friendship, it would make for epic theater.

[@sarahfingret8734]

It was definitely worth Tveiting for. Wasn't expecting Next to Normal! One of my favourites

[@BroadwayBabe3]

On my birthday Lin wore pigtail buns, Rory was handed the Ham4Ham show, and Tveit showed up. Also, God smiled upon me.

[@oblongspheroid1661]

Saw the new Moulin Rouge with Aaron Tveit (Karen Olvio and Danny Burstein) the other day in Boston. It's gonna be huge. The sets and transitions were award worthy.

[@tareqhadi4589]

You're so lucky! I'm actually going to see a different show but my 10 year old daughter is begging me to take her there next year 😖

why is no one talking about how adorable Rory is being. I mean look at him (I'm even kinda sad he didn't finish Turn it off)

[@Deloreandiva91]

So I had already watched this ham4ham before I really knew who Aaron Tveit was, now a couple of months later I am back to watch this again as Aaron Tveit is one of my fave human beings now! Him, Rory, Lin and Lac in a video together is giving me so much life! I also now know what I'm Alive is from 😂 Next to Normal is def getting added to must listen to musicals list

What I should do: sleep What I actually do: Watching Musical-related Videos on KZbin until I found one, where freaking hot Enjolras bursts into a Hamilton-Show singing I'm alive from next to normal while Alexander Hamilton is playing Tambourine like an exited 6-year old school girl in a Grease T-Birds jacked. Goodnight folks!
