that awkward moment when the current president didn’t have a mic for the first president

[izzyrossi]

“So do u want to wear a suit or go casual?”
Lin: yes

[Shenanakins]

"AND PEGGY!" still kills me. peggy is such an effortlessly funny character😂😂

[fbi]

i don’t even wanna know what it felt like singing in front of people that can make history

[jxp]

**when there is no microphone for Washington**

[Holobrine]

Remember when the White House had such class as this?

[rougemochi]

Everyone’s super tense until burr starts belting the “woulda been nothing left to do for someone less astute” and then everyone’s like “damn boi okay let’s go then, shit.” And step up and it’s so awesome

[ElizabethT]

What I love most about "Schuyler Sisters" is that the whole ensemble seems to have so much fun singing it.

[mydeartulip]

I don’t blame the cast for being so tense. Singing in front of a microphone..in front of the president.. isn’t the same as performing, acting, AND singing, y’know?

Lin: *wears jeans to the White House*
His mind: *these are my fancy jeans, it’s fine*

[SkeletonCavalry]

Everyone: *act cool Obama is looking at you*
Daveed: hell yeah, this is a jam

[justanamericanidiot]

2:08 I love how everyone’s just vibin while burr’s giving the performance of his life

[novembersoh]

LIN WORE JEANS TO THE WHITE HOUSE I CAN'T

[albertvu]

Obama: I want to be in the room where that happens
The original cast: Yes.

[leahvaldez]

1:53 did you notice that the music started playing too quick and he had to go faster😂

[sofarisp]

The way Anthony and Daveed look so proud in the back while theyre singing “The Schuyler Sisters”, especially after the iconic ending, is adorable
