HAMILTON to Perform on This Year's Grammy Awards! — Page 2

I really hope they don't do a medley- not that the show really needs a stellar performance to sell tickets, but medleys are rarely as effective as one full number from the show. My Shot seems to be the most logical choice for the Tonys.

If we are playing "I wish for this but know it would never happen," I think "Wait for It" would have been amazing for the Grammy Awards, if only because it is the one song that could (with edits) have a real shot of getting radio play....which is one of the few things that eludes them.

Seconded! Any word on this?

Sure, $400 a pop for a 4 minute performance.

(People would actually pay that ...)

I have no doubt that Lin will want to highlight Leslie as he is the best shot they have at an acting win.

What about Renee Elise Goldsberry?

Guess Fun Home is just chopped liver

If Lin is still going to be releasing the Hamilton Mixtape sometime soon, this will be fantastic promotion. Plus, the show is the biggest cultural phenomenon since "Rent" (sorry "Mormon" and "Wicked" and will likely win a Grammy for best cast recording. The cast recording made many critic's best-of-2015 lists and many thought it would be nominated for Album of the Year. The only shows I can think of that have performed on the Grammy Awards in the last 30/35 years are "American Idiot" and "Evita." This is pretty huge!

SO pumped for this! While I think their song selection is fine, I would have loved for Room Where It Happens to be featured...

Let's boycott the telecast until they agree to open the show with Sydney Lucas singing Ring of Keys prompted by K.D. Lang making a cameo as the delivery woman.

LIKE IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR

They must be so psyched, and I'm super happy for them. Reminds me of that interview Jimmy Fallon did where he told Lin he was so proud of him even though he doesn't know him. I feel the same for these guys, even though I have never seen the show and have never listened to the OBC album. It's awesome and it totally, totally helps they are such down-to-earth humble people. I like to think they're us, especially Lin, but a lot more talented and more hardworking. They're movers and shakers, and well, I'm a watcher and listener.

Lin mentioned they are doing the opening number (guess what, I don't know what that is!), and it's surely going to be a great performance!

And I am okay not seeing this for, I dunno, the next ten years until I can actually get a reasonable ticket, haha. Oy.

Obviously Hamilton will win the Grammy, it deserves it. But Fun Home's score is exceptional. I hope it isn't forgotten or overshadowed by Ham come Grammy time

Maybe the most sarcastic-sounding comment ever!


Great job to Hamilton, very exciting for them.
