John Krasinski is back with Some Good News!

On the second episode of his YouTube series, the 40-year-old actor surprised 9-year-old Hamilton super-fan Aubrey, 9, with a performance of her favorite song “Alexander Hamilton,” the opening number for the musical with Lin-Manuel Miranda and the original Hamilton cast!

Lin-Manuel, who played Hamilton, kicked off the performance via video conference before former castmates Leslie Odom Jr, Anthony Ramos, Daveed Diggs, Okieriete Onaodowan, Phillipa Soo, Christopher Jackson, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Javier Munoz all joined in.

Aubrey had plans to see a performance of Hamilton in Jacksonville, Florida, but due the global health pandemic, she wasn’t able to attend.

Before the Hamilton cast called in, John told Aubrey that he would send her and her mom to the Broadway show in New York “When it’s all over.”

Also making appearance in the episode was John’s wife Emily Blunt, who starred in Mary Poppins Returns with Lin-Manuel.

Hamilton is hitting the big screen!

Disney has announced they will be releasing the 11-time Tony Award winning Broadway musical in theaters – and the original 2015 cast will starring in it.

The upcoming Hamilton movie will not be an adaption of Lin-Manuel Miranda‘s musical, but rather a “live capture” of a stage performance. It was shot at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in Manhattan before founding members began leaving the production.

“Lin-Manuel Miranda created an unforgettable theater experience and a true cultural phenomenon, and it was for good reason that Hamilton was hailed as an astonishing work of art. All who saw it with the original cast will never forget that singular experience,” said Bob Iger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company said in a statement. “And we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to share this same Broadway experience with millions of people around the world.”

The original Broadway cast includes Lin-Manuel as Alexander Hamilton, Daveed Diggs as Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson, Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr, Christopher Jackson as George Washington, Jonathan Groff as King George, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler, and Phillipa Soo as Eliza Hamilton.

“I fell in love with musical storytelling growing up with the legendary Howard Ashman-Alan Menken Disney collaborations – The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin,” Lin-Manuel shared. “I’m so proud of what Tommy Kail has been able to capture in this filmed version of Hamilton – a live theatrical experience that feels just as immediate in your local movie theater. We’re excited to partner with Disney to bring the original Broadway company of Hamilton to the largest audience possible.”

Hamilton will be out in theaters on October 15, 2021.

Miguel Cervantes‘ daughter Adelaide has sadly passed away.

The 42-year-old Hamilton star and wife Kelly confirmed that their 3-year-old daughter had died on Saturday (October 12) after entering hospice care last week.

“The Cervantes family is heartbroken to announce that their baby girl Adelaide Grace passed away early Saturday morning,” the Cervantes family shared in a statement with People. “She was held in the loving arms of her family as she peacefully achieves the ‘calm’ for which they’ve been searching for so long. They would like to extend their deepest, heartfelt gratitude to all who have reached out with words of support and prayer and will continue to feel all the love as they go through this difficult time.”

On Sunday, Kelly took to Instagram to share a black and white photo of her late daughter’s bedroom.

“The machines are off. Her bed is empty. The quiet is deafening. Miss Adelaide Grace left us early Saturday morning,” Kelly wrote. “She went peacefully in my arms and surrounded by love. Finally, she is free from pain, reactions and seizures but leaves our hearts shattered. We love you so much Adelaide bug and forever after.”

Adelaide spent nearly all of her life battling seizures. After experiencing her first seizure at 7-months-old, doctors diagnosed her with epilepsy. Two month later, Adelaide was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms (IS).

Miguel will be taking a brief break from his leading role in the Chicago production of Hamilton.

Our thoughts are with the Cervantes family during this difficult time.

A performance of the Broadway musical Hamilton on tour in San Francisco ended in mass chaos on Friday night (February 15) after the audience self-evacuated.

A woman in the audience had a medical emergency near the end of the show and it happened during the moment of the show when Hamilton is shot on stage. Audience members thought that the woman was shot, though she was really having a heart attack.

Mass chaos ensued and audience members rushed to the exits after someone in the crowd yelled, “Gun!”

The woman and three other people were taken to the hospital with injuries. One of the other three suffered a broken leg. The woman who had the heart attack is reportedly in critical condition.

Cast members also evacuated the theater as someone pulled the theater’s fire pull station. Rick Negron, who plays King George in the production, took to Twitter to explain what happened.
