Video: Anthony Ramos Addresses Solo Absence at HAMILTON Tony Awards Reunion

Anthony Ramos is setting the record straight about the Tony Awards Hamilton reunion performance. During a recent visit on Watch What Happens: Live, Ramos responded to the fan outcry over the apparent omission and explained why he didn't have a solo in the medley performance, despite his major role in the original production.

"There was a solo moment in that whole sequence, but I didn't say yes to the Tonys until Saturday morning and the Tonys were on Sunday. So they weren't even planning on me being there," said the actor. "The cut that part. They choreographed the whole number, and then I texted Lin on Saturday morning like, 'Yo, is it too late?'... so they fit me in where I could fit in."
