Opening Night: HAMILTON on Broadway with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr., Jonathan Groff & More

[@umhellabella]

Lin: "It feels great to be in this room where it's happening" Did you just...

[@theamericanyoutuber]

Yup. :)

[@ne0njuice782]

Bella King yes definitely!

[@gaylaxy9087]

Great lol now I feel bad for Burr

[@hecko-ck6kh]

Bagaha yeah

[@sophiaredwood5825]

You could tell that probably he’s been planning saying that in an interview ever since he wrote the song 😂

[@angiewagner9232]

Anthony is beautiful. Lin is perfect. Leslie has the voice of an Angel. Phillipa is queen. Daveed is a rap GOD. Renee lives her roles. Jasmine has the voice of a goddess. Chris Jackson has beautiful eyebrows. OAK IS FLAWLESS. And also... GROFFSAUCE.

[@sadierainbowitz1225]

YES

[@halfakiwi3250]

Agreed

[@theamericanyoutuber]

Total agreement!! :D

[@angiewagner9232]

Ellie the cat right... on it...

[@mooimiu]

RENEÉ????

[@selaboswell5753]

"I read that he was president."- Lisa Lampanelli LIN - "Don't do a thing history will prove her wrong." CAST- "But Lin!" LIN- "We have a show to perform let's move along." HAMILTRASH"Strong words from Liz someone oughta hold her to it." CAST- "I can't disobey direct orders." HAMILTRASH- "Then I'll do it."

[@princessadrychannel3464]

I love you for this.

[@user-fh2cp6iu4g]

i'm singing this right now, and it's the best thing. THANK YOU

[@itsblakelol]

Thank you.

[@nimishajoseph363]

CAST: Hamiltrash, do not throw away your shot.

[@selaboswell5753]

Possoms Amazing of course my good friends

[@BriBri897]

I feel like Leslie was trying really hard not to say RISE UP

[@theamericanyoutuber]

XD

[@minara3282]

Bri Burke lolllll 😂😂😂

[@dariaroman8560]

Bri Burke BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE LIVING ON YOUR KNEES YOU RISE- to the ocassion.

[@xavvyr]

i was trying to urge him to

[@rat5800]

Bri Burke lol

[@lettucelive]

"It feels great to be in this room where it's happening!" Is he ever not on lmao

[@baeah3021]

I know they said all the stuff about Lin being "non-stop", but I was surprised that no one said anything about the fact that he writes like he's running out of time. Like, there's even that infamous story about he said "okay hi welp I gotta go" at a friend's birthday party because he had the idea for Wait For It; that is incredibly Hamilton-like.

[@ElizabethMerritt]

Phillipa Soo is a goddess

[@siabangia8238]

you speak so much truth

[@areyoureadyforlove6963]

very much so but I feel so bad for Eliza.. so much heartbreak

[@lonelytrashcan9170]

I fucking love what you just said. Pippa slays my whole life

[@estherrosi-kessel5192]

Elizabeth Merritt for some reason though in this vid I feel like her voice sounded different than normal. But PIPPA IS AMAZING.

[@emma.6078]

[@n1ss13]

I feel like this needs to be said: Christopher Jackson has beautiful eyebrows.

[@TiraKellci]

+Nissie A. They are life-changing....

[@livydijoseph5659]

U are so right

[@itsmefaith8976]

[@selinabaumstark2947]

[@karleena8840]

That one woman... Hamilton was NOT president. I learned that from this musical that you very much. Thanks Lin.

[@hamiltrash9138]

Karleen A never gon be president now...

[@swg7310]

That person is a stand up comedian. It’s literally their job to make jokes and show sarcasm!

[@lizziehargrove4310]

Hamiltrash that’s one less thing to worry about

[@foodplayzgames]

@@swg7310 yes. I started laughing when she said taht cuz she was joking

[@AstridLana]

lol poor lady who said the only thing she knew was that he was president

[@sarahdecker2522]

+AstridLana she also said after she did some reading. I wonder what article she read to come to that conclusion.

[@kiraparrish8059]

[@theadventuresofmeeee]

Spoilers... Oh yeah, just 200 years ago 😂

[@strawberryfrog2721]

^^

[@ellamarks400]

Also they say it in the first song

[@madisonhughes3670]

The fact that Jazzy wasn’t interviewed...if that isn’t the most “AND PEGGY” moment you’ve see then....

[@angelix_8]

Jasmine needs more recognition

[@mariamatedei]

They said no to this 😔

[@lopaisate]

"I read that he was a president" get out , just get out

[@kalahdolman4783]

Lol, right! Like, where did she even read that?

[@mayawoni]

woah i thought Oak's voice was like really low and husky from listening to the music. it's amazing how different it is when he talks normally.

[@foraged_porridge]

I know!!!!!! I love his voice either way though.

[@lucicorinne297]

phillipa soo is a cinnamon roll and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

[@kaileyperalta4645]

obsessed with janthony Why dies everyone call her a cinnamon Roll? I'm so confused

[@kyla596]

Once Upon A Hamiltrash she is basically too good for our world... honestly everyone in the cast is cinnamon roll basically why Lin is called a "linnamon roll" 😂

She's a human.

[@maijalynch8698]

It's not a spoiler, it's called history 😂😂

[@madelinejoybrashier]

A) GOD I need to see this musical. This looks like the best thing EVER. B) Bless Lin, what a freakin talent, I put him up there with Sondheim. C) The excitement of the cast I think is a total testament to the production material. D) Aaron looks like a blonde Alex Turner right now lol (random, I know)

[@amayamack1610]

[@Liletter]

Oak’s natural speaking voice is surprisingly high pitched, and Phillipa’s is surprisingly normal, they hit such low and high notes in the musical.

[@stuckdream1ng]

i’ve been trying to find groff everywhere. he came up and i gasped. i love that man

[@saratreat2219]

What a beautiful time capsule. I never had the pleasure of seeing it in person with the original cast, so I can only imagine how electric it must've felt on opening night.

[@manuelorozco7760]

The first time I ever felt that way of not seeing an OG cast was Wicked. Particularly since Idina and Kristin are both legendary stage and screen vets

[@vivtsang7152]

i've counted two puns in this video. what have you done today? lol

[@stephpiano2908]

Pride is not the word I'm looking for. There is so much more inside me now 💙👏🏽👏🏽

[@KellyinKansasCity]

I was lucky enough to see it twice on the opening week. It was amazing and I will be seeing it the next time I'm in NYC. One of the, if not the best, show I've ever seen on Broadway or otherwise. Loved it!

Omg luckyyy

[@isabellaleal1091]

funny that james monroe is now in hamilton as thomas jefferson lmao

[@tyedyepandas5448]

I love how it's opening night and they are already quoting it

[@DavidWilliamsaz]

Celebrities Hamilton never was President. He was also never set or in line to be President. Many of the founding fathers disliked Hamilton so much they passed a law that only natural born US could be President. He was born as an immigrant from the Caribbean. Yes that is why they had it in there. That is literally the first line minute of the play. How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore And a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot In the Caribbean by Providence, impoverished, in squalor Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

[@SaraH-ps8ob]

The 10 dollar founding father without a father got a lot farther by working a lot harder

[@cerotoffy]

by being a lot smarter by being a self-starter by fourteen the placed him in charge of a trading charter

[@Xplszny]

The Constitution says you have to be a natural born US citizen or a citizen at the time the Constitution was adopted. This means Hamilton could have been president

[@cerotoffy]

Xander Paluszny You ruined the chain. :(

[@SaraH-ps8ob]

Xander Paluszny so sad :(

[@fandomdomination3071]

This afterparty is now the stuff of legend! We have some video clips but in general this party is legendary!

[@sydneyhirshberg5155]

"Then he decided to get into a duel with Arron burr and that didn't end well" "Spoiler!" So not a spoiler. Anyone who took an American history class knows how this show ends. I love this show and I can't wait to see it! Too bad an idiot got assigned to interview.

[@ellerealyay1293]

Yeah, but some people are not from the USA you know

[@sofiafarina]

I love how when Anthony ended the interview with "you're gonna get left behind" and it transitions to Jonathan Groff! Cus Left Behind was literally the best song sung by our Groffsauce
