One trend became so popular that even Lin-Manuel Miranda himself joined in.
As Hamilton continues to celebrate its 10th anniversary, two of its songs are gaining traction on social media. "Best of Wives and Best of Women" and "Take A Break" are picking up steam on TikTok as part of a trend where fans dress up in their best Founding Fathers costumes to act out the scenes.
"Best of Wives and Best of Woman" was the first to gain viral attention. In the videos, someone dressed as Hamilton – typically including a drawn-on goatee to honor Lin-Manuel Miranda – sneaks out while Eliza sings to him.
The trend became so popular that even Lin-Manuel Miranda himself joined in, acting it out with his recently-unveiled wax figure.
"Take A Break," which features Angelica and Eliza Schuyler's seconda act reunion, includes two people elated to be reuniting, as a stand-in for Hamilton reacts in the background.
