#HamiltonCHI Takes Over Twitter

These days, Chicago might just be "the greatest city in the world." Why? #HamiltonCHI.

This month, the smash-hit musical sensation settles at PrivateBank Theatre in Chicago. Already, fans have taken to Twitter to express excitement about welcoming America's favorite Founding Father to the Windy City. Even the cast and creative team have joined in on the trending hashtag! Here are eight tweets to get you ready for Chicago's "Hamilton" invasion:

1) The man behind the magic, Lin-Manuel Miranda, says goodbye to the Tony Award-winning NYC production and announces that Chicago will meet Hamilton & Co. next.


2) Original cast members wish the new cast well! Renée Elise Goldsberry passes the 'Angelica Schuyler' baton to "In The Heights" star, Karen Olivo.

3) Chicago gets decked-out, "Hamilton" style! Actor Wallace Smith, who will play Hercules Mulligan/James Madison, posted this city signage.

4) The newly-minted George Washington, Jonathan Kirkland, posts a video of the excited cast celebrating one week until they arrive at the PrivateBank Theatre!

5) America's newest Hamilton, Miguel Cervantes, shares an issue of Chicago Magazine, in which he and his predecessor (Miranda) pose on the cover.

6) The official "Hamilton" twitter introduces us to Chicago's Aaron Burr, played by the talented Joshua Henry.
