John Krasinski Got The Original ‘Hamilton’ Cast To Sing On His YouTube Show

John Krasinski recently launched his own YouTube show called Some Good News. The series aims to report on positive stories to lift people’s spirits during difficult times and it’s kind of the best. Last week, the Office star reunited with former castmate Steve Carell for the show’s 15th anniversary. However, this week he may have outdone himself by getting the original cast of Hamilton back together to sing for a young fan.

  1. Broadway musicals have all shut down, sadly. Given the current global health crisis, much of the world has pretty much shut down, and that includes Broadway shows. After seeing a tweet from 9-year-old Hamilton superfan Aubrey, who was disappointed that she wouldn’t get to see the hit musical for her birthday, John Krasinski decided he had to do something about it.
  2. Krasinski did offer the fan an opportunity to see Hamilton in the future. Once the quarantine is over, John Krasinski told Aubrey he’d fly her and her parents up to New York City to see the show like she’d always dreamed of. That generous offer would have been enough, but there was another surprise in store.
  3. It wasn’t long before Lin Manuel Miranda turned up. He popped up on the video chat and began singing the show’s opening number, “Alexander Hamilton.” That just so happens to be Aubrey’s favorite song in the musical, and it was only about to get better when the entire original cast joined in the call to sing their respective parts. Incredible!
  4. Aubrey was in shock. If you needed more convincing that John Krasinski is a genuinely good dude, you only need to watch this episode. Seeing Aubrey delighted and in shock as the Hamilton cast serenaded her was incredibly heartwarming for her (and great to watch as the fan of a show myself).
  5. This was the best surprise ever. If John Krasinski is bringing in the big guns like Hamilton in only Episode 2, imagine how much better Some Good News is going to get as the series continues! I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!
