Lin-Manuel Miranda Releases Cut Song from HAMILTON
Lin-Manuel Miranda took to Twitter today after the news of Broadway suspending all performances until April 13 due to Covid19.
He tweeted: "Wish I could send you peace of mind via this app. Alas."
He continued his tweet, saying, "Here's a cut Hamilton/Washing tune called I Have This Friend. No one's heard it, not even Kail. Funnier if you picture me and @ChrisisSinging singing it." He's referring to Hamilton director Tommy Kail and the original George Washington, Christopher Jackson.
On SoundCloud, he added, "This was my first draft of the song before The Reynolds Pamphlet. With Hamilton & Washington. I don't think I even showed it to Tommy Kail. It would go where Hurricane is now. Stay safe out there. Love you."
Listen to the cut song below!
