Lin-Manuel Miranda continued his series of mini-concerts for the dedicated fans who showed up for Wednesday's lottery of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, now in previews at the Richard Rodgers Theater.
Yesterday's performance, which Miranda dubbed, 'BRING IT ON Wednesday', featured Hamilton ensemble cast members and BRING IT ON alum Ariana DeBose and Jon Rua. Miranda himself did some gender bending, taking on the role of the show's 'La Cienega.'
Check out the BRING IT ON performance below, including portions of "It's All Happening" and what Lin-Manuel described as "my favorite rap I ever wrote", the Michael Jordan rap!
HAMILTON is inspired by the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow and features book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and direction byThomas Kail, who previously collaborated on IN THE HEIGHTS.
The new musical follows the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: Alexander Hamilton. Tony and Grammy 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.
