VIDEO: Get a Look Behind the Scenes of HAMILTON London's Epic #Ham4Ham Mashup

Lin-Manuel Miranda recently joined the West End cast of Hamilton for a special digital #Ham4Ham video in honor of tonight's opening. Lin and the cast mashed up their favorite songs by UK artists with some of the songs from Hamilton. You can check out that video here!

Now, the cast and crew have released a special behind the scenes video, showing the making of this epic #Ham4Ham mashup. According to the tweet, "On the day of filming, the band received their music at 2pm, and the cast joined at 3pm to rehearse and learn all blocking. Then, we filmed it all before 5pm!"

Check out the behind the scenes video!

The #Ham4Ham show began as a whim of Lin-Manuel Miranda's on the first day of previews for the Broadway production of Hamilton. When he saw how many people had turned out for that day's lottery, Miranda decided to give the crowd a short, impromptu performance before the names were drawn, and thus #Ham4Ham was born. Miranda continued as host of the pre-show event through its many iterations, before turning the responsibility over to the production's then-King George III, Rory O'Malley, when he departed the show this past summer. Since then, the Ham4Ham show has gone digital, with videos dropping every so often featuring Miranda or cast members from the various productions of Hamilton.
