TWITTER WATCH: Lin-Manuel Miranda Attends Knicks Game, HAMILTON Played on Jumbotron

While musical theatre has occasionally taken inspiration from the sporting world, with varying degrees of success (DAMN YANKEES, ROCKY), you'll rarely find showtunes on the set list of your local stadium or arena.

There have been exceptions. Many soccer teams in Europe have claimed Rodgers and Hammerstein's "You'll Never Walk Alone" as their inspirational anthem; not for any affinity for the musical CAROUSEL, but because the Liverpool band Gerry and The Pacemakers had a hit single with the song in 1963.

Decades later, in Los Angeles, Dodger Stadium organist Nancy Bea Hefley regularly played LES MISERABLES' "Master of The House" when pitcher Orel Hershiser took the mound, noting the pitcher's nearly unbeatable record at home games.

Will the New York Knicks start adding selections from Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton to their playlist? Basketball's history of being an urban city game sure seems like a great match for the revolutionary new hip-hop musical.

The Grammy-winning MacArthur genius grant recipient had a prime courtside seat at Madison Square Garden last night. And though the home team fell to the visiting Toronto Rapters, the evening wasn't a total loss as he got to see Hamilton's recent Grammy Award segment played on the arena's Jumbotron.

Who knows... Maybe soon, with the game on the line in the final seconds, fans may start hearing the speakers blaring out, "I am not throwing away my shot!"

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: AlexanderHamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winnerLin-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 lifelongHamiltonfriend 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.
