Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Hamilton team are gearing up to bring the hit musical to the stage in Puerto Rico. Yesterday, the cast had their sitzprobe. Today, Miranda is taking to Twitter to show clips from the rehearsal.

The former president, best-selling author and Nobel Peace-Prize winner Barack Obama debuted on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart at number 22 alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda with their song “One Last Time (44 Remix),” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Just in time for the new year, Lin-Manuel Miranda is taking off to reprise his lead role in the Puerto Rico production of Hamilton. Check out photos from his arrival below!

The creators of Hamilton were recently honored for their contributions to American culture at the Kennedy Center Honors. Shortly after, director Thomas Kail, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, music director Alex Lacamoire, and writer-lyricist-actor Lin-Manuel Miranda sat down for an extended interview with "CBS This Morning" co-host John Dickerson.

Watch in the video below as the original Schuyler Sisters from Hamilton-Renee Elise Goldsberry, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Phillipa Soo perform live for the Hamilton Co-Creators at the 2018 Kennedy Center Honors. 

Hamilton is keeping the holiday medleys rolling with a tune from the Schuyler Sisters of Hamilton on Broadway, Mandy Gonzalez, Denee Benton, and Alysha Deslorieux. In honor of the first official day of winter yesterday, the trio recorded a rendition of "Silent Night" in Spanish and English.

The final #Hamildrop has arrived and it's a big one! Former President Barack Obama is featured on the track, which is titled 'One Last Time (44 Remix).' The song also features the vocals of Christopher Jackson and Bebe Winans.

As previously announced, Hamilton recently welcomed new cast members including Great Comet alum Denee Benton. Get a first look at Benton in the role in the stunning photograph by Josh Lehrer below!

Lin-Manuel Miranda is all about the surprise drops these days and here is another one. Tonight Lin added another to the collection of unheard Hamilton material he's been doling out for fans.

Every so often the musical theatre landscape experiences a swell of enthusiasm and excitement for a fresh, new and engaging play. Theatre fans (and casual viewers) alike can recall the hype when THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA or LES MISERABLES first opened (and went on tour). More recently the WICKED phenomenon brought young and old alike out to experience the magic and electricity that only a live performance can elicit. Today, the show that everyone is talking about (and obsessing over) is Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony winning musical HAMILTON. Like its popular predecessors, it has recently begun touring around the country - riding the wave of enthusiasm and further cementing its place as a true pop-culture phenomenon. But unlike its flashy, big budget predecessors, HAMILTON, in many ways, lives in its own category. It is a show that is modern, fresh, and that pushes boundaries and delivers in two and a half hours an experience unlike anything this reviewer has experienced before. I am thrilled to say, in the production that has now arrived at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts in Hartford, CT - HAMILTON shines brilliantly, delivering in every way (and beyond) on the hype that precedes it.

Lin-Manuel Miranda has just released another demo recorded during the early days of Hamilton! Of the track, 'This One's Mine', Miranda says: 'I wrote this song about Eliza meeting Hamilton. I played it for my wife. She said, 'Eh. It's good, but it doesn't feel like your final draft.' I stormed off. HOW DARE SHE? An hour later, I wrote Helpless. She was right.'

Lin-Manuel Miranda took to Twitter yet again this morning to share another demo he had recorded during the early days of Hamilton.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, earlier this month, the creators of Hamilton, including writer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, and music director Alex Lacamoire, received a unique Kennedy Center Honors as 'trailblazing creators of a transformative work that defies category.'

#EduHam is a series of HAMILTON Wednesday matinees made available to New York City schools with a high concentration of students from low-income families for the ticket price of only $10.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is gearing up to bring Hamilton to Puerto Rico, on top of his various other projects. He chatted with CBS Sunday Morning recently about what it's like to be bringing the show to his island, and what his goals are for the run.
