Alexander Smashilton? Why didn't we think of this?!

For all you fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda's new musical Hamilton and NBC's cult musical drama SMASH, check out a new Tumblr mash-up that mixes references from both shows to hilarious, apt, thought-provoking and perfect effect. Scroll down for a sampling and find the full site here!

The new musical Hamilton has book, music and lyrics by Tony and Grammy Award-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also plays the title role. The musical is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography byAndy Blankenbuehler and music direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. Hamilton is inspired by Ron Chernow's biography "Alexander Hamilton."

The cast of Hamilton is comprised of Lin-Manuel Miranda (Alexander Hamilton), Daveed Diggs(Marquis De Lafayette, Thomas Jefferson), Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler), Christopher Jackson (George Washington), Jonathan Groff (King George), Jasmine Cephas Jones (Peggy Schuyler, Maria Reynolds), Javier Muñoz (Hamilton alternate), Okieriete Onaodowan(Hercules Mulligan, James Madison), Leslie Odom, Jr. (Aaron Burr), Anthony Ramos (John Laurens, PhilipHamilton) and Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton).

HAMILTON is the acclaimed new musical about the scrappy young immigrant Alexander Hamilton, the $10 Founding Father who forever changed America with his revolutionary ideas and actions. During his life cut too short, he served as George Washington's chief aide, was the first Treasury Secretary, a loving husband and father, despised by his fellow Founding Fathers and shot to death by Aaron Burrin their legendary duel.

SMASH premiered on NBC in 2012. It follows Broadway writing team Julia Houston (Debra Messing) and Tom Levitt (Christian Borle), who come up with the idea of a new musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, to be titled BOMBSHELL. Also in the cast are Anjelica Huston as lead producer Eileen Rand, difficult but brilliant director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport), Megan Hilty's Ivy Lynn, the workshop's original 'Marilyn', and Katharine McPhee's Karen Cartwright, a talented but naive ensemble member who quickly becomes Ivy's main competitor in the quest for the lead role. Universal Stage Productions has since begun development on BOMBSHELL as a musical for the stage.
