- President Obama and the First Lady hosted the Broadway cast of the musical “Hamilton” at the White House Monday for a workshop and Q&A session with area students. President Obama delivered remarks on the history behind "Hamilton," and the cast performed “Alexander Hamilton," the opening song of the play, live for the attendees.

"lin will you dress casually or formally?"
lin: "yes"
😂😂😂😂

He took casual formal to another level
Haha those jeans
This dude looks like he got no sleep and showed up after a hangover.
Can we appreciate how this basically sounds exactly like the recording. Like Lin does such a good job making it sound authentic.
Wdym lmao Lins just doing his lil dancy dance

Hearing Obama make Hamilton references is the best thing ever

I saw this video already but you killt the explanation. 🫡
These explanations r golden my dude
Lin just shows up in jeans like he's not performing for the freaking President
Even more, I think Okieriete Onaodowan is the one with the hands in his pockets during most of the performance. Lol, that's uber-cool (no sarcasm intended)
why shouldn't one be themselves? the President isn't god. Obama is a cool dude. I highly doubt he gave a crap.
at least the jeans look nice? who really cares?
Lol ikr everyone else was like I need to look fancy then Lin's just like f it I'm done with this
Ehhh. He's still wearing a Suit. it's all good
Lin just awkwardly stands there
Rsweeneybrg Mo daddy
....
What
Rsweeneybrg Mo He's calling Lin daddy
Oh
Lin: wears jeans
Daveed: wears a vest
Oak: wears sneakers
Leslie: wears a nice suit
Is it just me or did they dress like their characters would 😂
they defo did ahaha
dude the harmonizing at 12:06 never fails to give me goosebumps omg
I got LITERAL chills✨
Lin: Full suit to the tonight show.
Lin:Jeans to the White House 😂
DIY Panda omg thank you for pointing that out!!
DIY Panda XD

Figuratively me
THANK YOU, YOU BLESSED SOUL FOR USING FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY PROPERLY
obama: this is the room where it happened!
leslie/burr: finally i made it
Yes.
Now that just makes me cry
Cherry ....
Yay I made it 1k likes
dunno why but that made me burst out laughing x'D
that thought of burr being out of breath but happy to finally be a part of the cool gang
11:00 very talented guy, he changed the speed of everyone within two seconds
I thought I was the only one that noticed the change of speed
I noticed that! Very talentad
Piano guy was too slow in the beginning lol
when they sung the word, "TIME", it was just too powerful
For real i had to rewind it 6 times
Exactly! And literally the musical is about that, Alexander Hamilton not having time so it's extremely powerful when you look back
12:06 (time stamp but honestly….THE CHILLS)
everyone: ok, were meeting the president dress FORMAL
lin: *J E A N S*
Don't forget the 🖐👈👉👇✋🤙👍👎🤲🤟👖👖👖
It's because he already knew the president
Look at anthonys shoes 😂
LOL
He was going to be singing and moving so he wanted to be able to move around
No microphone for George Washington but a microphone for Lin to say Alexander Hamilton 😂😂
Well he IS the main character
I think they did the whole show so he would have needed it later
😂😂😂
Damn
JAJAJAJAJA
That's true
Xiara DeLeon he doesn’t NEED a microphone with that voice of his 💕
So much happens in this 😆
Lin almost coming in early and Pippa is like 😯 10:11
Oak literally almost nocking over his mic 9:56
Daveed being iconic 9:30
Lin’s little dancy dance 10:00
Smol smirk 10:09
Lin rolling his eyes 10:15
LITERALLY
FR😭
bro i wheezed so hard at oak’s part for some reason n fell off my bed 😭 it’s too late for me rn
My theory is that they were all insanely hungover. I mean Lin literally created the musical and sings that song all the time. There’s is no better explanation for why he would be early on something that should be second nature. They’re all either vibin a bit too hard or look lost in space somewhere. Lin is a mix of both honesty lol. But hey they were preforming at the White House. That definitely calls for a celebration
@@LexiFonseca idk about the rest of them but DAVEED said in an interview that he was really hungover (the others probably were too tho)
I like how Washington and Eliza shared a mic as if they didn’t have the budget for another one
That weird moment when you don't have a microphone for George Washington

I'm still alive m0therfuckers
Everyone: *stands mostly still
Lin: I’m gona do a little dance
I laughed so hard haha 🤣
He's too adorable
I was like “Lin is having trouble standing still while he’s not singing” 😂😂
Heehee one more like fir 1000 likes on you comment
Everyone else: dress up
Lin: JEANS
The fact that he fit in “the room where it happened” just goes to show how brilliant that man is.
Powerful cast. The thing I appreciate the most about Lin Manuel is he empowers his fellow performers by not stealing the spotlight but once it's his turn he astounds.
The guy that plays Aaron Burr is really into it

I love how their body language says "scared to death" but none of those nerves come through in their voice. This cast is unbelievable
Leslies rappin is on point and that chorus from 12:04-12:10 had me like 😳
Performing is in their blood
Then the first note hits, and they are in the zone.
I think they were probably also like "uh idrk how to do this standing still"

Ik I was about to comment that
@@DebateNetwork6 It’s typical in theatre to give mics to actors with more lyrics. In that song it’s obvious why Burr got a mic.
Lin is such a musical genius! People will remember this song for DECADES.
The expression of Lin- Manuel's face when they all sing the verse "...will they know what you overcame?". We know, Mr. Miranda. We know what YOU overcame! Kudos.
Daveed's voice is weirdly unique... and weirdly hot...
That sums it up well.
WeirdlySmartTeenTV not weirdly just unique and hot
WeirdlySmartTeenTV that is so true. That's how i feel about his voice
so true.
i thought i was the only one who really thought about that haha
Everyone: formal clothes
Lin: J E A N S
All he needs is a black turtle neck and he can be the Steve Jobs of Broadway lol
Those were his formal jeans.
Lin is from NY... I'm disappointed he didn't wear his dress Tims.
White House, the president, formal clothes...
Lin: ha
I actually kinda like the mixture of formal and casual. Some types of clothes can be uncomfortable
Love how Daveed, Anthony and Oak just all try not to die laughing at 11:23 at Leslies screaming
I noticed that too and it was so hilarious 😭😭😭
Lin Manuel-Miranda looks so shy and tired here! This was at the initial height of the success of Hamilton. He had to be so exhausted and excited for this moment in time! Every time I listen to the Hamilton soundtrack I imagine what it’d be like if Washington, Hamilton, Burr, Mulligan, Jefferson, etc. could SEE and HEAR this magic…once we calmed them down over the sight of movie pictures in the first place. 😅 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
They were all extremely hungover that day 😂
When Lin goes Alexander Hamilton my name is Alexander Hamilton it feels so weird to not here the fans screaming in the background
IKR?! ☹️😂
I was expecting the screaming.
I was waiting to hear the screaming!
Or the first time he performed it when everyone laughed

Who knew that when Lin sang at the White House in 2009 that would lead it to being one of the best Musical of all time
Obama just finishing an amazing speech and goes to sit down... his mind “I have to fist bump someone” PROCEEDS TO
Lin’s hand gestures looked like the shy kid raising their hand in class.
oOp
😂
I always felt like I would get the answer wrong
He’s not throwing away his shot
Oh god, that's me.
The moment you realize that the Whitd House doesn't have enough mics for President George Washington
Mocha tf2 player Omg XD just realized
And then you realize
They actually have budgets too
Lol
oML TRUE

Sorry, but love the irony in this.
I love how it’s just Obama yapping for 8:40 seconds and then they start singing
7 years later and I am still in love with this ❤
Same
Sameee❤❤❤❤
This is so cool and historic but it literally looks like seven siblings lined up to perform this for their parents
so they can get the new starwars happy meal
fr like they performed at the WHITE HOUSE but they're so natural it's insane and funny
😂
HOLY DAMN I SEE IT
this made me giggle
John Lauren: “I died for him”
*cries*
I think he was speaking as his son in that scene as in he died for his honor otherwise it wouldnt make any sense as john didnt die for hamilton
@@PDXDario I mean, I guess it could've been either of them. In a way, they both died for him, I guess?
Grace Hanlon Lin mentions this in the book about the musical Hamilton. He’s proud of the fact that everyone in that section sings a line that applies to both of their characters. Lafayette & Mulligan sing “I fought with him” meaning alongside, but Jefferson & Madison sing “I fought with him” meaning against him. Pretty clever dude that LMM
Phillips death/its quiet uptown still make me cry..a lot
John Laurens : Me i love him 😣😉
11:14 Phillipa dancing/bouncing up and down to Leslie’s rapping is the cutest thing
I love how everyone else has some form of overcoat or something, even Eliza’s actress has a beautiful dress and then there’s Lafayettes actor looking like he’s going to his middle school homecoming 😂
Its so crazy that we will know lin as hamilton, but the new generation will know him as the guy from mary poppins
Aria definitely.
Oh now I know where I saw him
@Lacey Kean What's your source? I've read nothing about this
Sis is the same generation...
Hey I'm 20 yrs old and I've known Lin as Jack from Mary Poppins 'cause we saw that movie with my younger sis. But after that I felt in love with Hamilton and it's my favourite Broadway show
It’s feels weird watching a president make a non offensive joke

Yeah lol XD

Ah yes let's make sure not to give the first president a mic
It’s sad how he isn’t even like a Main role till like the middle of the play like Peggy was barely seen after and she got a whole dang mic lol
bust him outta the tomb already

Daveed is wearing skinny jeans so
Ella Kimberly no, even if you're good friends you don't dress like that on national television. It's Lin's style, he dresses like that not because he's friends with Obama

God I’m gonna do this if we have him as a history lesson
this happened to me,but the difference is that we where going to do a performance at the stage,I got the role as Eliza and believe me its hard,you have to Remember every lyrics of the song and put a lot of emotions,when we started to practice I told my drama teacher If I could switch the burn song into first burn,she accepted and went off........and then we met an EP and ES...
The kind of White House event that the Obamas excelled at creating. Civic, artistic, with its most political themes being "Our country is diverse, and look what cool stuff happens because of it!"
The smile she had on her face when Hamilton starting singing really got to me though
Everyone Else: Moving Like a normal human being

THEY SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THE RECORDED SOUNDTRACK OMG I LOVE THEM
There was a backing track. There's not enough of them to sound like the whole cast recording. They were still singing of course
No backing track; if you watch some of the other videos of them performing at the White House, you will see that the entire ensemble is on a section off to the far right. The entire cast is present, but they are in a separate section.
For example, skip to 13:20 and you can see the ensemble section.
+Jake861 nah there is, i checked you can clearly hear it when the girl says "me, i loved him"
That was Angelica & Peggy in the ensemble section. The reason it's so faint is because they aren't using stage mics, they're using backstage ensemble mics. The tempo is slightly off from the original and you can tell that portions of the singing are slightly off anyway. Back track isn't possible with a slightly off tempo.
Okay first of all
