Hamilton does Prince

by digby

Never ones to disappoint, the Hamilton cast joined mourning Prince fans by surprising their Thursday evening show with a stirring tribute. Before production’s end, everybody had gathered onstage at the Richard Rodgers Theatre for an appropriately crazy, dance-y rendition of the Purple One’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda explained afterward that Ham’s musical director Alex Lacamoire had spent the day orchestrating it. “Good night guys,” Miranda tweeted. “Today we laughed, we cried, we mourned, we danced. What more could we ask of that electric word, life?”
