Miranda started the #Ham4Ham "preshow" at Hamilton on Broadway: while fans waited outside for the daily ticket lottery, he and guests (show cast members, other Broadway stars, and more) would come outside and perform something fun, whether a Broadway show throwback or a role-reversed song from Hamilton or something else entirely.
Seeing Hamilton became something of a pastime for celebrities, meaning that Miranda got to meet a ton of Hollywood, music, and political figures. But he missed out on performing the night Beyoncé and Jay-Z attended the show — not for lack of trying! "I was pulling the I.V. out of my arm, I had a fever of 104, and my wife was like, 'Stay in bed.' I was like, 'I can do it, I can do it.' You just couldn't miss because it was like the internet came to the show every night."
