Ok, the title really could have been longer. Actor John Krasinski (The Office, Jack Ryan) has a YouTube series titled “Some Good News“. In Episode 2, he, his wife, and friends rendered a young girl utterly speechless when they surprised her on a Zoom call.
Oh, the friends included Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the cast of Hamilton.
Missing Hamilton due to COVID-19
This young girl was due to go see Hamilton with her mother, but their trip was cancelled due to the pandemic. Her mother tweeted to Lin-Manuel about this, and Krasinski picked up on this.
He called this young girl, and what followed is just fantastic:
One of my favourite parts is around 11 minutes when she is utterly speechless as Lin-Manuel joins the call.
It definitely gets better, though, as Manuel’s friends (aka, the cast of Hamilton) join the call too to perform her favourite song from the production.
What do you think?
