Legendary stars are attending HAMILTON!

Off-Broadway hit musical Hamilton welcomed even more big name talent this week when iconic screen star Harry Belafonte and Emmy Award-winning stage and screen legend Andre De Shields stopped by the show this week and a new series of photos of the individuals posing with the creator of the show, Lin-Manuel Miranda, are now available to view.

Miranda shared the shots on Twitter, commenting of Belafonte, "The Maestro: Harry Belafonte." along with a pic of De Sheilds, writing, "The legend: André De Shields, flanked by the Schuyler sisters

The official description of Hamilton is as follows: "From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: Alexander Hamilton. Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is. From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelong Hamilton friend and foe, Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down. Hamilton is the recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New American Plays Award."
