From a shortage of boys to lack of diversity, creator of the web series LANKY SCIOLIOSIS Tim Murray (currently in 50 SHADES! THE MUSICAL) imagines a somewhat problematic Ohio production of HAMILTON in the hilarious parody below!

Yesterday's #Ham4Ham featured assistant company manager Kaitlin Fine as she dueted with Jonathan Groff on 'Our Children' from RAGTIME. Watch below to watch the whole performance- complete with dancing from  Miranda and Okieriete Onaodowan.
