Lin-Manuel Miranda And Stephen Perform 'Button!'

The next great American musical is here, and its name is "Button!"

Watch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert weeknights at 11:35 PM ET/10:35 PM CT. Only on CBS.

[peepo]

Lin pretending not to know who Button is after he wrote a sick rap about him is my favourite

[marieldelara]

That smirk after "My name's John Adams" thou *I died inside*

[kaitlyncarroll]

I died at "Ask Abigail, she knows"

[katie]

Colbert really has unrealised dreams of performing in a musical.

[TheZeitergeist]

Button Gwinnett: Who lives, who dies, who tells your story.

[sarahgilmour]

Button Gwinette is not throwing away his shot

[YarrBr]

"I'll just keep freestylin' until we're done with it!"

[kaylabostic]

I need Button to be a thing 😂 I'd go see it

[Malallory]

We are so privileged to live in a world in which this exists.

[heynowmate]

I love how Lin just falls into character so easily and gets really excited about it😂

[emmablood]

I didn't know that I needed this in my life until now. Bless Lin for continually finding new ways to drag me down into the abyss. It's rather nice down here.

[wowzers]

Today my teacher asked me to name one person who signed the deceleration and I said button... She was very confused so I showed her this

[claireswadling]

Didn't know Stephen could rap. He's actually pretty good at it.

[cass]

All these founding fathers are getting shoutouts omg I'm crying

[MCwelfare]

FUN FACT: So Button's signature is one of the most valued on the Declaration of Independence. He was a serial debtor. Most of his signatures are IOU's.

[uhhhmaeve]

Angelica, could you tell Button that John Adams doesn't have a real job, anyway?

[darkinstinctful]

The difference. When jimmy does something like this it's silly. don't get me wrong, I love what jimmy is doing. But when you watch stephens show, You feel like you're learning something new, something out of the norm of our pop-culture knowledge. .

[doitjamie]

It's like School House Rock just dropped a new album.

[spidrmk]

I never though I could find John Adams so attractive

[emilyharley]

That cocky smile Lin does at 1:15 is my favorite thing
