As Hamilton continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary, one of its song has gone viral social media. "Best of Wives and Best of Women" continues to pick up steam on TikTok as part of a trend where fans dress up in their best Founding Fathers costumes to act out the scenes.
In the original trend, someone dressed as Hamilton – typically including a drawn-on goatee to honor Lin-Manuel Miranda – sneaks out while Eliza sings to him. At this week's screening of the Hamilton Proshot at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Phillipa Soo treated the audience to an in-person recreation of the viral trend.
