CultureHISTORY: The Cast of Hamilton - The White House (March 2016) - #ObamaFarewell
"The people will hear from me... One last time And if we get this right, we’re gonna teach ‘em how to say Goodbye"
From a cast performance at the WH last March featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda and the incredible vocals of Tony-nominated Christopher Jackson, this is one of the show's highlights. It’s also another chance to appreciate LMM’s stunning writing and, at the end, he uses portions of George Washington’s actual Address which was written with the help of Alexander Hamilton.
Watching this talented young diverse cast perform for the Obamas was stirring and as the song concluded one of the background singers had tears in her eyes.
