Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Jasmine Cephas Jones—the actress who originated the roles of Eliza, Angelica, and Peggy Schuyler in the Hamilton—performed "America the Beautiful" during the Super Bowl LI pregame show.
A performance of "America the Beautiful" prior to the National Anthem has been a Super Bowl tradition since 2009 (opens in new tab). Previous performers of the song include Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, Queen Latifah, and John Legend.
The ladies could hardly contain their excitement when the news of their reunion was announced.
Your girls are backkkk & including women in the sequel. See U at the Super Bowl. 2017. @reneeelisegolds @Phillipasoo https://t.co/tFn4g2F04OJanuary 27, 2017

And, of course, Hamilton creator Lin Manuel-Miranda joined in on the fun.

The performance did not disappoint. The ladies crushed it, and earned big cheers for an ad-libbed lyric, when they added "and sisterhood" to the classic patriotic tune.
