Members of the original Broadway cast of Hamilton are re-uniting for three special livestream events in August, to raise money for organizations fighting to end systemic racism.
The livestreams will feature behind-the-scenes stories, trivia, games, prizes and special “Hamilton” content.
Participating original “Hamilton” cast members include Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jonathan Groff, Neil Haskell, Christopher Jackson, Javier Muñoz and Phillipa Soo.
Special guests Brian d’Arcy James, Rory O’Malley and Andrew Rannells are also set to participate.
The #Ham4Change livestreams are August 1, 9 and 15, with the goal of raising $1 Million.
Since this is a fund-raiser, it is not free, as most livestreams these days are. Tickets are $10.
Performances are livestreamed at 1pm ET.
