At today's #Ham4Ham, Lin-Manuel Miranda bid adieu with a letter from A. Ham to his love, Eliza. Leslie Odom Jr. and Phillipa Soo joined him for a rendition of "Happy Trails."
That is what I wrote on my poster. I also wrote ONE LAST TIME- Leslie Lin Pippa. Leslie saw it and when he pints he was pointing at me and my mom. He asked for the poster after and my mom and I signed it so now him, Lin and Pippa have it.
Apparently a kidney can get you three tickets because someone said that on the black market one kidney goes for $32000. so you could get three tickets and have some money left to buy hamilton merch.
+Nerd Center I'm really tempted especially since I'll be in the city on Saturday I'm also going to two other Hamilton related events this week #hamiltrash
Ashlyn Cohen He did also say he might jump in for short bits of time in other locations like Chicago or other places on the tour if the actor needs a break :D so, fingers crossed I'll get to see him. It is still a little heartbreaking to know I'll never get to see the whole OC do this live though :/
The audience's reaction to "Do you so really relish the pleasure of being a poor man's wife?" somewhere between "that's so sweet/sad." and "so that's where that lyric came from!"
Alexander's letters were full of sweetness and love, yet the betrayal was coming. Approximately 11 years after the letter Lin read was written, the Reynolds affair took place. Read the letters Alexander wrote to Eliza during the affair, and you'll be horrified at his lies. He calls Eliza "My Angel" and "my beloved", and this is a part from one of his letters during the affair: "You said that you would not stay longer at Albany than twenty days which would bring it to the first of September. How delighted shall I be to receive you again...." Now do you truly understand why Eliza rants about Alexander's letters in Burn so much? Now do you know why Eliza fled to Albany to her family when The Reynolds Pamphlet was published? Now do you understand why Eliza refused to publicly comment on The Reynolds Pamphlet and kicked Alexander out for 9 weeks? Eliza's position was so undesirable. She couldn't separate of divorce from Alexander for a few reasons. 1) If she left Alexander, his career would be gone. Like GONE GONE. He would be publicly shamed even more than he was, and would become jobless. 2) She would have no money to support herself or her children. 3) She would have to take care of all her kids on her own. She had 5 kids, and was pregnant and very close to having her sixth. She would have no aid in raising them. 4) Eliza and her kids would all be ridiculed even more than what happened in real life. 5) She wouldn't be able to bear it if Alexander remarried with another woman. So yeah. Kind of a bad thing that he was really smooth.
My cousins laughing at me because I am sobbing over this. She will never understand, she is not understanding the unimaginable. BWAAAAAAA, IM SOBBING!!!
The song was the theme to an old TV show starring Roy Rogers. It was a cowboy show from the 1950s. A trail is like a path or journey. Wishing someone "happy trails" would be like wishing someone good luck and happiness the rest of their lives.
I seriously think I'm more emotional about the thought of not seeing Lin in the Ham4Hams every week than I am about the thought of the show itself having some cast changeovers
don't worry, unless he decides to retire at age 36(?) (which I doubt), he'll probably write another play or something amazing for us to fangirl about in half a dozen years
PARADOX It's Pulitzer, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (it's just an add on to the idea of "EGOT" :P) Lin already has the PEG and T, so now it's only a matter of time before the O xD (literally, even before Mary Poppins there's an entirely real chance that it could happen at next year's Oscars, since he's doing the music for Moana and I'd be pretty surprised if one of the songs wasn't at the very least nominated for Best Song!) Once he does get that Oscar, he'll be the 4th person in history I believe to have ever gotten PEGOT (fun fact: one of the few others who's done it is Richard Rodgers, and the theater that both Hamilton and Lin's first show In the Heights plays at is the Richard Rodgers theater! I just think that's really cool ^__^)
Lin, I have three things to tell you: 1.) PLEASE DON'T CUT OFF THE PONYTAIL 2.)I'd like to thank you for inspiring me and many others with your work, and for all the times I've listened to both the cast recordings to Hamilton and In the Heights and it's made my day better 3.) Finally I look forward to seeing you do more in the future I have the honor to be your obedient servant, C. Holm. ((And yes I know you're probably never gonna see this but a girl can dream))
That moment when you realize it's Lin's last #ham4ham show for now and he's about to leave in 3 days. He's gonna sing One Last Time with Chris Jackson for real and he's gonna teach Lin how to say goodbye. Ndhdhsish I'm okay 😭😭😭
Poetic prose for Leslie, Lin and Phillipa: I feel I am 10 feet under Helpless Cheerless Alone I ache for my cherished loves. Yet still, I feel as though I am floating through stars -- bathing in sunlight. For the happiness and successes, I have so desperately wished them, have come true in our parting and in their future plans. I wish them every pleasantry and luck upon slow Saturday mornings and broken wish bones. May their hearts be filled with every joy they have given me.
+Grace Baldwin yes, he's the writer, not the producer. So he can control the rights of the musical but actors and their wages are controlled by producers. All lead actors of the show sign a year long contract which guarantees they'll stay and also guarantees their wages.
I'm not crying, you're crying! But seriously, this show has changed a lot of peoples lives, and Leslie and Phillipa were a big part of that. I wish them the best of luck in whatever they go on to, and to those coming in to fill the roles. Happy trails!
GUYS I WAS HERE TODAY AND I WAS SO SAD AND IT WAS SO HOT BUT IT WAS WORTH IT EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T WIN THE LOTTERY. BUT AFTER THE MATINEE LIN RANDOMLY POPPED OUT OF A WINDOW AND IT WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE SO I JUST WANTED TO BLESS YOU ALL WITH THAT MEMORY. LIN IS GOING HOME BUT WE WILL ALL EVENTUALLY RISE UP AND GET TO BE IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS AND GET TICKETS TO HAMILTON!!!
I'm seeing Hamilton on July 18. I missed Pippa, Leslie, and Lin by nine days. NINE DAYS. WHYYYYYYY😭 (but I'm still super excited to see the best show ever recorded in Broadway history)
Teach me how to say goodbye... One last time... (not really last time tho) I'm would excited to see the new actors for Burr, Eliza, and Hamilton.. if I had tickets to New York and the show....
"I can't wait to see you again, it's only a matter of time"
LEAVE
Your username, omg
kill me
Me watching this: I'm laughing, I'm crying, it feels like I'm dying
same bruh I feel u
Crybaby
I see what you did there
MELANIE
im being such a...crybaby... while watching this
current mood: everyone's 'awwwwwwwww' when he got to the 'will you relish being a poor man's wife' part
right as I read your comment Lin started reading that part 😂
I got goosebumps when he said that. I didn't know it was a direct quote from Hamilton himself.
I paused the video so I could continue singing and finish that section
Unable to provide for your life?
❤❤
"How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" -Winnie the Pooh
I'm bawling RN 😰😰😰
MY FAVORITE DISNEY CHARACTER I'M CRYING WITH YOU
It's uber sad tbh
Lin is leaving from what I read going to do something for a marry popping movie so he will be a character of Disney
Teach me how to say goodbye...
Everyone is going ho-o-ome...
You just killed me
😭😭
That is what I wrote on my poster. I also wrote ONE LAST TIME- Leslie Lin Pippa.
Leslie saw it and when he pints he was pointing at me and my mom. He asked for the poster after and my mom and I signed it so now him, Lin and Pippa have it.
Nice!
I'm not crying there are just onions next to me 😭
I just finished watching your video!!
SAME WHY DOSE LIN HAVE TO GOOO
Same girl! Sameeee!
Molly Springs Thank you!
The The Thanks for watching!
What would I have to give to be in the audience on July 9th? A kidney? A limb? A kid?😉
No body parts... just money. Like $5,000. -_-
Apparently a kidney can get you three tickets because someone said that on the black market one kidney goes for $32000. so you could get three tickets and have some money left to buy hamilton merch.
+Nerd Center I'm really tempted especially since I'll be in the city on Saturday I'm also going to two other Hamilton related events this week #hamiltrash
I'd give all three
+Livy DiJoseph three?
I'm not crying. You're crying. Okay, I'm crying.
We can cry together :'(

FINALLY ON LIN'S LAST DAY THE SOUND SYSTEM WORKS
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Trust me it didn't. I wasn't even that far and I couldn't hear him today :( but it was totally worth it because I got to see him
lin, leslie, pippa, and adriana are all leaving i caNT HANDLE THIS
It makes me so sad D:
He did say that he would be back tho (Lin did)
Ashlyn Cohen He did also say he might jump in for short bits of time in other locations like Chicago or other places on the tour if the actor needs a break :D so, fingers crossed I'll get to see him. It is still a little heartbreaking to know I'll never get to see the whole OC do this live though :/
Our precious cinnamon rolls
I agree ;(
He called Eliza "his Betsy" - so cute!!
Is nobody going to mention Lin's t-shirt?!
I was going to comment on it, but I'm blinded by tears.
I am so excited that I'm getting one!
Phillipa Soo is such a beauty.
I know..... She is literally who I aspire to be....... Such an amazing person.....
+Corinne Primero singing goals
That too.......
The audience's reaction to "Do you so really relish the pleasure of being a poor man's wife?" somewhere between "that's so sweet/sad." and "so that's where that lyric came from!"
I think... Alexander Hamilton could honestly pick up any chick today as he could then. The man was smooth!
He wasn't that bad looking either.
Alexander's letters were full of sweetness and love, yet the betrayal was coming. Approximately 11 years after the letter Lin read was written, the Reynolds affair took place. Read the letters Alexander wrote to Eliza during the affair, and you'll be horrified at his lies. He calls Eliza "My Angel" and "my beloved", and this is a part from one of his letters during the affair: "You said that you would not stay longer at Albany than twenty days which would bring it to the first of September. How delighted shall I be to receive you again...."
Now do you truly understand why Eliza rants about Alexander's letters in Burn so much? Now do you know why Eliza fled to Albany to her family when The Reynolds Pamphlet was published? Now do you understand why Eliza refused to publicly comment on The Reynolds Pamphlet and kicked Alexander out for 9 weeks? Eliza's position was so undesirable. She couldn't separate of divorce from Alexander for a few reasons.
1) If she left Alexander, his career would be gone. Like GONE GONE. He would be publicly shamed even more than he was, and would become jobless.
2) She would have no money to support herself or her children.
3) She would have to take care of all her kids on her own. She had 5 kids, and was pregnant and very close to having her sixth. She would have no aid in raising them.
4) Eliza and her kids would all be ridiculed even more than what happened in real life.
5) She wouldn't be able to bear it if Alexander remarried with another woman.
So yeah. Kind of a bad thing that he was really smooth.
I hope Lin keeps the long hair after Hamilton
sadly he's cutting it off
+Sarah Romeo Did he say he was? I know he was dropping hints on Twitter but did he actually say it?
+Delaney Ford yes. In the last ham4ham this guy said he was cutting off his hair and Lin agreed
I should chop off mine too
He's cutting it
My cousins laughing at me because I am sobbing over this. She will never understand, she is not understanding the unimaginable. BWAAAAAAA, IM SOBBING!!!
"Happy trails, Happy trails"!!!! I say whilst sobbing!!
+Pinkmonkey auz what do they mean with trails? I'm not a native speaker. Does it mean something like career or something?
+Robin Sietsema it means to have a good rest of their life, wherever it may lead them.
+Robin Sietsema I guess it's like a journey? A trail is like a path, so if you imagine the person who is leaving is walking along their trail.
The song was the theme to an old TV show starring Roy Rogers. It was a cowboy show from the 1950s. A trail is like a path or journey. Wishing someone "happy trails" would be like wishing someone good luck and happiness the rest of their lives.
To the one guy who disliked this video: you have no soul.
I tell myself that they had tears in their eyes and missed the button....
LOL
I want it as an audiobook all in Lin's voice
I'm so in love with all of them.
I like your icon:D
Thank you!
+Morgan Aubel Your welcome
Morgan Aubel Sierra Boggess is like my favorite Christine Daae
no I will not cry
Yes we all will
You cried didn't you...
I seriously think I'm more emotional about the thought of not seeing Lin in the Ham4Hams every week than I am about the thought of the show itself having some cast changeovers
don't worry, unless he decides to retire at age 36(?) (which I doubt), he'll probably write another play or something amazing for us to fangirl about in half a dozen years
And... He'll be back. Time will tell...
+PARADOX he's actually working on an upcoming Mary Poppins sequel by Disney. He needs to win an Oscar in order to PEGOT.
sorry, what does PEGOT mean?
PARADOX It's Pulitzer, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony (it's just an add on to the idea of "EGOT" :P)
Lin already has the PEG and T, so now it's only a matter of time before the O xD (literally, even before Mary Poppins there's an entirely real chance that it could happen at next year's Oscars, since he's doing the music for Moana and I'd be pretty surprised if one of the songs wasn't at the very least nominated for Best Song!)
Once he does get that Oscar, he'll be the 4th person in history I believe to have ever gotten PEGOT (fun fact: one of the few others who's done it is Richard Rodgers, and the theater that both Hamilton and Lin's first show In the Heights plays at is the Richard Rodgers theater! I just think that's really cool ^__^)
I think we can all agree that none of us are going to be able to emotionally handle Lin's post Hamilton hair-cut. I'm not ready for him to go!
Didn't ever think a musical about politicians in the 1770s would make me cry so much but here we are
I will never be satisfied
WITH THE FACT THAT THEY LEFT
Front: "One Last Time"
Back: "July 9, 2016"
LIN YOUR T-SHIRT. TEACH ME HOW TO SAY GOODBYE
lin's hair is like... beyond comparison at this point
Lin, I have three things to tell you:
1.) PLEASE DON'T CUT OFF THE PONYTAIL
2.)I'd like to thank you for inspiring me and many others with your work, and for all the times I've listened to both the cast recordings to Hamilton and In the Heights and it's made my day better
3.) Finally I look forward to seeing you do more in the future
I have the honor to be your obedient servant,
C. Holm.
((And yes I know you're probably never gonna see this but a girl can dream))
Spoiler alert - she marries him!!
how could you spoil it (sarcasm)
I'M NOT CRYING!!!!I'M JUST SWEATING THROUGH MY EYES!!!!!😭😭😭😢😢😢GOODBYE LIN, LESLIE AND PIPPA!!!!😢😢😭😭
"My heart overflows with everything for you"
Same, Hamilton. Same.
Things that I'm not:
-okay
-not crying
-alive
Someday you will blow us all away......Lin you have blew us all away.
the entire cast has blew us away.
Why do you have to say goodbye?!
If he says goodbye, the fandom learns to move on.
No it doesn't.
*cries*
+Maddie Dixon true, true
the nation WILL NOT learn to move on!
+Maddie Dixon it out lives him when he's gone...
I'm sad because on July 9th, Chris will be singing One Last Time to Lin, and everyone will be singing Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story...
If i was Chris I wouldn't be able to get through that song without sobbing
His passion is so admirable.
You know, I never thought I'd say this, but here goes: Where can I find a man like Alexander Hamilton?
Don't go the path, we know how it works out.
So he can cheat on you, send your family into disgrace and your children to die?
Janice D she is not throwing away her shot
I really hope they have video taped the musical like I've heard I would kill to have a dvd of Hamilton
I've heard that it's either just a documentary or a full proshot production, I'm not sure which is correct.
They filmed two productions of it which are currently sitting locked away. I guess they'll release them in a few years at minimum.
they did a recording with the original cast and they are going to hold onto it for the future
Groff came back for two nights while they filmed
Heather Keeley Please tell me that's factual knowledge and not speculation!!!
"We cannot always have things as we wish."
Right, Lin. We can't. You're leaving. 😭😭😭😭😭
Before watching this I was like why is this ham4ham so long? "Im reading a letter from Alexander Hamilton" ah that's why
Now imagine: on Lin's last day, the cast sings You'll be Back to him. When he returns to his part as Alexander, he sings What'd I Miss?
"Shades of Fifty shades of gray by Alexander Hamilton" im dead 💀💀
3:30 to 3:41
As far as the people are concerned, you have to serve! You could continue to serve…😭😭😭🙏🏼❤️
I wish I could've been in the room where this happened
For one last time.
who else cried when they found out that Lin-Manuel Miranda is not going to play Hamilton anymore as of July 9th
ME
isnt he coming back after he finishes Mary poppins returns?
+igotamullet20 He is supposed to open up the England tour, That's a rumour.
+Camille oh 😛 but i heard in a interview he will come back
+igotamullet20 yeag
* cRies eNternelly *
+screaming noises me tooooooooooooooooooooooo :'(
Thanks for the tissue
That moment when you realize it's Lin's last #ham4ham show for now and he's about to leave in 3 days. He's gonna sing One Last Time with Chris Jackson for real and he's gonna teach Lin how to say goodbye. Ndhdhsish I'm okay 😭😭😭
For so long, Hamilton has been speaking Lin's words. It's so interesting to now see it as Lin reading Hamilton's
Pippa will always be Eliza to me..... So sad to see her go. I hope she does as well in Amelie.
Pippa didn't even have to say anything but I kinda screamed the loudest for her when I was there...
Pride is not the word I'm looking for. There is so much more inside me now.
Poetic prose for Leslie, Lin and Phillipa:
I feel I am 10 feet under
Helpless
Cheerless
Alone
I ache for my cherished loves.
Yet still,
I feel as though I am floating through stars -- bathing in sunlight.
For the happiness and successes, I have so desperately wished them, have come true
in our parting and in their future plans.
I wish them every pleasantry and luck
upon slow Saturday mornings
and broken wish bones.
May their hearts be filled with every joy
they have given me.
I'm listening to this letter and thinking "and I can't even get a text back"
im gonna miss him :"(((
Me too. 💕 and nice picture of Jungkook
"My Betsy" Hamilton the romantic.
Seriously though, LMM should've left Hamilton the day Alex died (July 12)...
He threw away his shot, in the end, too.
His contract expired the 9th so that's why he left that day instead of the 12th
+Patricia Ramirez I realized that, scrolling through some of the comments :) I'm just saying that it would have been cool if he left on the 12th
He needed a contract for his own musical?
+Grace Baldwin yes, he's the writer, not the producer. So he can control the rights of the musical but actors and their wages are controlled by producers. All lead actors of the show sign a year long contract which guarantees they'll stay and also guarantees their wages.
I just finished sobbing all my heart out. Here we go again. Gonna miss these babes❤️
I'm cryinggg!!!! BY PIPPA LESLIE AND LIN I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!😭❤
petition to have Lin host a digital Ham4Ham once a month or something! I'm excited for Rory, but L I N
Cried.
Three of the best actors and characters.
Why? My heart is racing. My hands are shaking. Crying. So much crying. Someone help. Why am I crying over a play a bout the founding fathers?
We all wonder... Why we are crying over a musical about founding fathers 😭😭
+Star can't believe today's the day😭
I'm not crying, you're crying! But seriously, this show has changed a lot of peoples lives, and Leslie and Phillipa were a big part of that. I wish them the best of luck in whatever they go on to, and to those coming in to fill the roles. Happy trails!
I'll see you on the other side, Lin. We all love you.
Can we just talk for a second about how UTTERLY MAJESTIC LIN'S HAIR IS HERE
he caught off 😭😭😭😭. it was only for Hamilton
Kevin Davila I know I died
It must be nice...it must be nice....to have the entire world on your side.
He's gonna have to teach us how to say goodbye 😭
I cant believe I didnt watch this as it happened I just got into hamilton the last few monthS WAT IS WRONG WITH MEEE
GUYS I WAS HERE TODAY AND I WAS SO SAD AND IT WAS SO HOT BUT IT WAS WORTH IT EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T WIN THE LOTTERY. BUT AFTER THE MATINEE LIN RANDOMLY POPPED OUT OF A WINDOW AND IT WAS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE SO I JUST WANTED TO BLESS YOU ALL WITH THAT MEMORY. LIN IS GOING HOME BUT WE WILL ALL EVENTUALLY RISE UP AND GET TO BE IN THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS AND GET TICKETS TO HAMILTON!!!
IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING
Face it; we all are. 😢
Lin's hair is fabulous
I knowwww
so this is what it feels like to have your heart ripped out of your chest...
Thank you all for creating something so beautiful and magical. You have certainly given this man justice and your admirers joy. ❤️
All of his letters to Eliza were so amazing. Guh. I'm crying. I'm gonna miss them so much!!!!!!
8:53 "will you relish being a poor man's wife"
I never realized how nice Lins hands are
Goodbyes are always melancholy, but I'm glad he's getting the opportunity to move onto other things.
I'm seeing Hamilton on July 18. I missed Pippa, Leslie, and Lin by nine days. NINE DAYS. WHYYYYYYY😭 (but I'm still super excited to see the best show ever recorded in Broadway history)
We'll miss you Lin! 💗💗💗💗
So are Leslie and Phillipa leaving too? It's gonna be a whole different show.
Yes
But Karen Olivo is going to be Eliza
+The Signs You are correct, my friend has lied to me. My apologies
Don't worry. Javier, the new Hamilton, is very good. He performed in front of Obama TWICE. Its still gonna be the best show on broadway.
I'm really going to miss them
My one request is that Lin pops in often to keep doing occasional Ham4Hams. That is all I ask, LIN!
I teared up when Pippa and Leslie came out. :'( Such a great leading cast. Sad I didn't get a chance to make it out to see them before they parted.
We will miss you Lin!!!!!! love you so much ur such an inspiration 😊
I literally had a dream where Lin and I became best friends and I just woke up and now I'm watching this what is happening Lin don't leave
HE's GOING OFF TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOU
That is such a heart felt letter Im crying I cant believe our Linnamon Roll is leaving!
Gonna miss them sooooo much.... *crying rn*
Thank you for being the soundtrack to my dreams, adieu Lin
someone lock them inside so they can never leave
omg I'm bawling my eyes out. what did we do to deserve these beautiful people???
Teach me how to say goodbye... One last time...
(not really last time tho) I'm would excited to see the new actors for Burr, Eliza, and Hamilton.. if I had tickets to New York and the show....
This is so great i cant *sobs my eyes out*
Oh Lin. What will we do without you. Happy Trails, with love.
this makes me sad
Ur mom makes me sad
Sick burn
+Steven Kollin u cant say sick burn to ur own burn and ur mom jokes arent even funny
it's a magical thing called sarcasm
My heart overflows with everything for you!
"Teach em how to say goodbye, say goodbye, you and I"
YOU COULD CONTINUE TO SEEEERVE
I feel in love with Alexander all over again after Lin read this letter!!
sitting on my couch bawling inconsolably as my parents roll their eyes
No no no no no no no no no dont leave me no no no no teach me how to say goodbye
I'm trying very hard not to cry at my desk at work right now. Happy trails to those moving on, and a very warm welcome to the new cast members!
im currently at the mall trying not to cry
