"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," the Schuyler sisters sing in Lin-Manuel Miranda's revolutionary musical HAMILTON.
Then, in her role as Angelica Schuyler, Tony-winner Renee Elise Goldsberry adds, "And when I meet Thomas Jefferson, I'm a' compel him to include women in the sequel!"
Thomas Jefferson had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton being selected as the Democratic Party's nominee for United States President, but after 240 years the dynamic actress is apparently very excited to see that the sequel is being written.

HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War, and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton is the story of America then, told by America now.
The musical is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman and The Public Theater.
The Hamilton Original Broadway Cast Recording - recipient of the 2016 Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album and a regular on numerous Billboard top 10 lists - is available everywhere nationwide.
HAMILTON: The Revolution, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter's book about the making of the musical, is on sale and has been a selection on The New York Times Best Seller List.
The musical celebrates its 1st anniversary on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6. A touring production begins a 21-week run in San Francisco in March 2017, followed by a 21-week engagement in Los Angeles. A London production will be mounted, also in 2017.
