HAMILTON's #Ham4Ham lottery performance has quickly become one of Broadway's most enjoyable new traditions! In today's special pre-show performance, FINDING NEVERLAND star Matthew Morrison joined the party to freestyle rap based on the word "Disneyland," with HAMILTON star/creator Lin-Manuel Miranda. In addition, HAMILTON music director Alex Lacamoire accompanied Morrison as he serenaded Miranda with LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, the show for which Morrison received a Tony nomination. Check out the video, recorded by Howard Sherman!

After the performance, Miranda tweeted, "Thanks to @Matt_Morrison for freestyling AND singing Piazza. Thanks to @LacketyLac for navigating 5 Guettel key changes on a Melodica." Alex Lacamoire (@LacketyLac) replied, "I got to perform music from PIAZZA. WITH Matt Morrison. The pleasure is allll mine."

Matthew Morrison (@Matt_Morrison) then responded with, "@Lin_Manuel @LacketyLac thank you gentlemen for having me! Had so much fun hanging out and supporting your beautiful show, @HamiltonMusical."

HAMILTON recently opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, celebrating with some all-American fireworks at the after-party. "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 byThomas Kail, with choreography byAndy Blankenbuehler and music direction and orchestrations byAlex Lacamoire. "HAMILTON" is inspired by Ron Chernow's biography "Alexander Hamilton."

"HAMILTON" which recently transferred to Broadway following a sold-out run at The Public Theater in NYC 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 Burr in their legendary duel.
