On last night's 2015 BET HIP HOP AWARDS, Black Thought and Questlove introduced cast members of Broadway's HAMILTON, , Renee Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs and Lin-Manuel Miranda, as they put on their cypher masks for this year's Hip Hop competition.

Our $10 Founding Father is breaking the bank on Broadway!

Lin-Manuel Miranda's HAMILTON is busy breaking box office records and boundaries on Broadway, but what will happen when the hip-hop hit is licensed to high schools? 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!

Stars of Broadway's Hamilton, Renee Elise Goldsberry, Daveed Diggs and Lin-Manuel Miranda, will be featured on tonight's HIP HOP AWARDS, airing on BET TV.

Tonight's #Ham4Ham featured their first sing-along contest, with three competitors (one, Andrew Kober, a ringer from LES MISERABLES), crowd participation and a training session from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Daveed Diggs. Check it out below, recorded by Howard Sherman!

Just like the founding father it's based on, the HAMILTON Original Cast Recording is beating the odds, climbing the charts and breaking the mold.

HAMILTON's #Ham4Ham lottery performance has quickly become one of Broadway's favorite traditions as fans gather in front of the Richard Rodgers Theatre to see what HAMILTON writer Lin-Manuel Miranda has in store -- and who his guest performer is. Today's special guest was stage and screen star Laura Benanti, accompanied by tap dancer extraordinaire, Jared Grimes. Below, watch as they sing and tap dance to MY FAIR LADY!

Statistical proof that HAMILTON contains far more words per minute than conventional musicals.

During a talk at this weekend's New Yorker Festival Miranda revealed that HAMILTON would definitely be filmed with its current cast!

Today's special guest was none other than kid critic Iain Armitage of 'Iain Loves Theatre' fame. Below, watch as he raps both Hamilton and Jefferson's parts from 'Cabinet Battle #1' with Miranda, Daveed Diggs, and Christopher Jackson! Too adorable to miss!

The website aims to fully annotate the entire score of HAMILTON with its historic and musical references.

It's been just over two months since President Obama stopped by the Richard Rodgers Theatre to catch a preview performance of Broadway's hottest show, and according to the New York Times, he'll be heading back to Hamilton soon.

Tonight, October 2, Wesleyan University will host a sold-out benefit performance of the much celebrated musical HAMILTON at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.

Fresh off of being officially declared a genius by The MacArthur Foundation, Lin-Manuel Miranda took to Twitter this afternoon to announce his newest project, THE HAMILTON MIXTAPE.

HAMILTON creator Lin-Manuel Miranda has a dream that one day we'll be listening to showtunes on the radio again. He explained in a recent interview with Rolling Stone: 'You used to hear a Cole Porter song on the radio and then you'd go pay for a ticket to a Broadway show to hear that song in a show. If any cast album could afford to push the limit of that, it's this one.'

As a show intrinsically about politics, HAMILTON is a fitting Broadway show for America's presidential campaign season which is consuming our country.

Today's #Ham4Ham performance reportedly blocked the entire street in front of the Richard Rodgers Theatre due to the multitude of spectators, according to Twitter reports. The performers at the special event this afternoon were HAMILTON's Ariana DeBose with special guest Ryann Redmond (BRING IT ON).
