The only thing better than Hamilton or Moana is both of them together, and former standby for the title character in Hamilton Jon Rua is serving us mashup realness in a sneak peek of his latest dance video, set to Alessia Cara's cover of Moana's signature "I want" song, "How Far I'll Go." Check out the video, and say a little prayer that we get to see the full video sooner rather than later!

Jon Rua is an actor, singer, and choreographer. Born to a family of Colombian immigrants, he was most recently part of the original cast of Broadway's mega-hit Hamilton. Other Broadway credits include Hands on a Hardbody and In the Heights. As an actor, he has also appeared Off-Broadway in Hamilton (The Public Theater), Kung Fu (Signature Theater), Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity, and Damn Yankees (Encores! series). As a choreographer, he has contributed to Broadway's Hamilton, On Your Feet, Bring It On: The Musical, Hands on a Hardbody, In the Heights, and NYCC's The Wiz. He is a creative consultant on Spongebob the Musical.
