On today's LIVE WITH KELLY AND MICHAEL, host Kelly Ripa explained how she is convinced her son Joaquin knows so much history because of the smash hit musical HAMILTON and wants Broadway to come up with an 'algebra' musical

The satirical website reports of complaints that the title character, who was born in the Caribbean, was not played by a white actor.

In the Broadway hit HAMILTON, Phillipa Soo plays Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, wife of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and co-founder of the first private orphanage in New York City.

Good news - Hamilton's digital lottery is officially back for the winter, meaning that fans can enter online daily for a chance to see one of Broadway's biggest hits. Better news - this means that Digital #Ham4Ham is back, featuring surprise performances from Broadway's best and beyond. Today's performance features HAMILTON's Jasmine Cephas-Jones performing 'My Man' from FUNNY GIRL with Alex Lacamoire on piano. Check out the video below!

Broadway In Chicago has announced its next season line-up: the Broadway musical HAMILTON, the North American tour premiere of Disney's ALADDIN, 2014 Tony Award-Winning Best Revival of a Musical HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, the 2015 Tony Award-Winning Best Play THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME and THE BODYGUARD.

Today's #Ham4Ham performance features a very special guest, Elmo, who gets both a rendition and explanation of 'The Story of Tonight' by Hamilton's own Christopher Jackson.

Now that we are a full two weeks removed from Fox's first foray into the world of live, televised musicals, I think it is time to look back at the lessons learned from GREASE: LIVE. Though I hailed it as a rousing success in my review, on Broadway Radio's 'This Week on Broadway,' and on BWW's 'Some Like it Pop' podcast, there are a fair number of critics and viewers that had perfectly reasonable hesitations. Whether it was occasional sound issues, too strict a reliance on the film for inspiration, the wonky new song, or uneven performances, I am fine with acknowledging those shortcomings; but to me, there are three things that made GREASE: LIVE the most entertaining and artistically satisfying live musical of this recently reinvigorated phenomenon.

Today's unique performance features Lin-Manuel Miranda singing 'Right Hand Man'- performed in the show by Christopher Jackson- accompanied by Weird Al Yankovic on the accordion. Check out the full video below!

Thank you, world! Leslie Odom Jr. took a moment during intermission at Hamilton tonight (as if he wasn't busy enough being awesome onstage as 'Aaron Burr' in Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical) to drop his new single, 'Good For You,' featuring co-star Daveed Diggs.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical makes it clear that Hamilton was an obsessive writer. See for yourself!

Tony Award-winner Lena Hall rocked yesterday's #Ham4Ham with the band from SCHOOL OF ROCK the musical.

As Lin writes 'In honor of Kids' Night On Broadway, where participating Broadway shows have free tix for kids this Tuesday February 9, we thought we'd let the kids of School Of Rock blow our minds. But that wasn't enough, so I brought along Tony-Winning superstar Lena Hall for lead vocals.
