Lin-Manuel Miranda brought Broadway nostalgia and star power to Radio City Music Hall on Sunday (June 8) as he reunited with the original Hamilton cast for an exceptional 10th-anniversary performance during the Tony Awards.
The five-minute tribute opened with Miranda and Leslie Odom Jr. performing “Non-Stop” before transitioning into a medley of fan-favorite numbers like “My Shot,” “The Schuyler Sisters,” “You’ll Be Back,” “The Room Where It Happens” and “History Has Its Eyes on You.”
The performance earned a standing ovation from the audience packed with theater royalty and industry insiders.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote and starred in the 11-time Tony-winning musical, was joined on stage by Daveed Diggs, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo, Christopher Jackson and Jonathan Groff, among others.
The emotional reunion marked a decade since Hamilton reshaped modern musical theater with its blend of Hip-Hop, history and storytelling.
Speaking to People, Diggs reflected on the moment.
@people #DaveedDiggs and #EmmyRaverLampman went from costars to partners as part of Hamilton’s first #Broadway cast, and as they prepared for their #TonyAwards special performance, their child was there for “all the rehearsals.” ❤️ #Tonys #TonyAwards2025 #RedCarpet

“In this business, you keep moving so much that you don’t often take the time to recognize how special something is while you’re in it. It was really special. Obviously, the response was special, but that group of people is pretty singular. I’ve never been in a room like it,” Diggs said.
Goldsberry echoed the sentiment, saying, “I walked in there, and every single person that came into the room, just tears of joy bubbled up from my soul. We group hugged a million times. We just love each other so much.”
Groff, who played King George III, poked fun at his brief role in the tribute.
“It’s like the easiest thing ever – and then I’m just watching in total awe. It was such a reminder of the genius of that show and the genius of that original cast. It’s such an incredible group,” Groff told Variety.
Hamilton premiered on Broadway in August 2015 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The show expanded to London’s West End in 2017 and continues to run in both cities.
