Hamilton cast performs 'My Shot' at White House

The cast of the hit Broadway musical "Hamilton" performed the song "My Shot" at the White House Monday for an audience that included President and Mrs. Obama, Vice President Biden and local students.

poor Leslie, he has to sit there for like an hour waiting for his tiny line. But don't worry, he's willing to wait for it.

[GosterMonster]

"Laurens, I like you a lot" is one of the biggest understatements

[rae]

I just love how hyped Daveed gets for everyone else

[TykeiraJ]

Daveed said he was hungover and just vibing for these performances and you can definitely tell 🤣

[ajontheuke]

Here, we spot the wild Lin Manuel Miranbird flapping frantically amongst his calm friends

[raspberrybear]

They're so awkward saying swears in the white house.. I love it.

Miranda wrote Laurens, Lafayette and Mulligan in the style of older 80s/90s rap, while Hamilton spits modern hip hop verses to show how much more intellectually advanced Hamilton was, which is just insane genius writing.

[CompaDeArranke]

During most of the song: *Everyone else sings*

Leslie/Aaron Burr with his arms crossed: *Im going to wait for it*

[baehwayoung]

Lin aggressively gesturing while singing make me anxious


but i loved it

[sandytaylor]

You know Lin's about to get into it when that hand comes out and starts waving around like he's playing real life fruit ninja 😂

[harlow]

Y’all gotta remember: Lin wrote a lot of this. He has to know how to direct it in a way. His hands wiggle because he’s conducting himself and/or those around him, out of instinct as a little music man

LIN RAPPIN

HANDS:


You, want more


MOREE

Imagine history was really just a bunch of rap battles.

[LollipopDoesGaming]

Lin's so excited but at the same time he looks at whoever's performing like "wait wait wait okay good no mess ups so far" lol he's so full of passion i love this little linnamon roll

[sarahsterly]

When lin started rapping leslie immediately backed up

[NGGYU]

Three reasons why Lin-Manuel Miranda is the best.
1. Creating Hamilton
2. Wearing jeans at the White House
3. Having arm seizures while shouting "I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT!!"

[ulovejose]

lafayette : cant say anarchy right

lafayette in guns and ships : rapping like eminem

[quacknosis]

*Everyone else wears formal stuff*


Lin: People, I like jeans.

[thunderoriones]

I've always waited for Daveed's "—ANARCHY" during the performances of My Shot. There's just something about how he enunciates it so satisfyingly every single time.

[sethescope]

I live for Daveed's French accented "wHo ArE yOu?"

it just hits different
