John Krasinski and wife Emily Blunt surprise 9 year-old girl with Zoom performance of original Hamilton cast including Lin-Manuel Miranda. The Hollywood couple gave a nine-year-old Hamilton fan called Aubrey a delightful surprise on Zoom over the weekend. The little girl had tickets to see the musical but her hopes were dashed as theaters shut down amid the coronavirus lockdowns. Her mother Tweeted Miranda letting him know how disappointed Aubrey was - and revealed she had watched Blunt's movie Mary Poppins Returns instead. So on his YouTube show Krasinski gave her two surprises as he chatted to her via the video link. First he pulled Blunt, who played Mary Poppins, into the chat - leaving Aubrey open mouthed.

Daveed Diggs reprised his role as Thomas Jefferson, with Christopher Jackson returning to the part of George Washington. Phillipa Soo was back playing Alexander Hamilton's wife Eliza, a performance that earned her a Tony Award for best actress. Jonathan Groff, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Anthony Ramos, Javier Munoz, Okieriete Onaodowan, Jasmine Cephas-Jones of the original cast all got in on the act. Their choice of number was an apt one as Aubrey revealed that Alexander Hamilton is her 'favorite song' from the show. Los Angeles. April 6, 2020.
