The #Ham4Ham shows gave lottery participants a chance to see the stars of the Tony Award winning show in performance, even if their names were not chosen for the daily lottery. The performances often featured special guests including such Broadway luminaries as Cynthia Erivo, Audra McDonald, Kelly O'Hara, Aaron Tveit and Patti Lupone. Lin-Miranda Manuel Miranda originally served as host of the #Ham4Ham shows. When he departed the musical, Tony nominee Rory O'Malley, who currently portrays King George III, took over hosting duties.
