Lin-Manuel Miranda reunites original ‘Hamilton’ Schuyler sisters
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Phillipa Soo performed at the United Palace for a mini “Hamilton” reunion.
“Hamilton” fans who turned out for a film screening on Monday surely walked away satisfied.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Phillipa Soo staged a mini “Hamilton” reunion Monday in New York, where they performed a song from the acclaimed Broadway musical.
The reunion took place at the United Palace theater in New York, which held a screening of “Satisfied,” a documentary focused on Goldsberry. Appropriately, Miranda, Goldsberry and Soo sang the song of the same name from “Hamilton.”
In the show, “Satisfied” tells the story of how Alexander Hamilton (Miranda) meets and marries his wife Elizabeth Schuyler (Soo) much to the chagrin of her sister Angelica Schuyler (Goldsberry), who is also in love with him.
In an Instagram post, Miranda noted that “this was the first time we’d all sung this song together since 2016” and revealed he only learned that Soo would be in town for the event on Friday.
“Grateful to hear these harmonies again,” he wrote in the caption of a clip that showed the trio rehearsing before the screening. “Grateful for Renee and Pippa and grateful to all of you singing along in the audience last night and around the world.”
“Hamilton” is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025.
To mark the occasion, the United Palace is holding a series of free screenings of movies featuring the original cast. 2021’s “West Side Story,” for which Ariana DeBose won the best supporting actress Oscar, and 2020’s “One Night in Miami,” which stars Aaron Burr actor Leslie Odom Jr., will also be shown.
“Hamilton” premiered at Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre in August 2015 to widespread critical acclaim. It went on to win a whopping 11 Tony Awards, including best musical and best featured actress in a musical for Goldsberry.
A filmed version of the show starring the original cast debuted on Disney+ in 2020.
DeBose, who was a part of the “Hamilton” ensemble, teased on the “Today” show last month that Miranda had unspecified plans to mark the show’s 10th anniversary.
“Lin texted me the other day. He was like, ’10 year anniversary. OK, we’re going to do some things,’” she said. “Granted, I don’t know what the things are, but he was just like, ‘Be ready.’ It’s very Lin of him.”
