Proof that Broadway stars are just theatre kids that made it

"Hamilton's selling fine." Understatement of the year.

Love it when Lin forgets the words to the musical that he wrote

Lin looks like he just finished writing the federalist papers

This a normal drive to school for theater kids.

"What's you're name, man?" "Lin Manuel Miranda" -kill me he's so adorable-

Imagine walking the streets and seeing a car full of broadway performers just singing their hearts out in a car with James Corden.

Lin’s little “that’s me!” Is the most adorable Edit: at the end of the video I was literally crying

I can imagine them getting pulled over, and when the officer looks in the window, he faints.

“Hamilton is selling fine” three years later tickets are $200

When Audra decides to lean in and let the operatic training flow and dominates the entire car of Broadway stars. I started clapping without even meaning to.

The way that they all knew to harmonize when singing Rent made my heart extremely happy.

What I've learned from this Broadway stars are just successful Broadway Nerds

Haters: You can't do les Miserables with just 5 people Lin and company: Watch us

this is one of the most chaotic carpool karaokes i’ve ever seen thank you Lin

0:39 Alexander Hamilton 1:27 Guns and Ships 3:53 Seasons of Love 6:00 Can't take my eyes off you 8:15 One day more

NO I NEEDED TO BE IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED

*As a theater kid I can confirm this is how we act on car rides*

i’m jealous of every person who saw this car going down the street with this going down inside and recognised that james corden was in there with a bunch of broadway stars

3:52 as a theatre kid i can confirm, our reaction is either that 'awww' or "**IMMEDIATELY STARTS SCREAMING THE LYRICS**"

"Hamilton is selling FINE." Oh Lin you humble little muffin

I wanna be in the car where it happened

As a member of the theater cult I can 100% confirm that this is how we act 24/7. best car ride I’ve ever seen

With Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Tony win, every person in that car is a Tony winner. 😳 As a theater kid, this makes my heart soar 💓

james should become an uber driver for a day and do carpool karaoke with random people

When you're fangirling 6 years late

When you sing with people who can actually harmonise and do the different parts of these songs it just makes them so much better.

That rendition of One Day More… EPIC. I’ve watched it 100x over the last few years. ❤

Thanks to Hamilton I aced history of the revolutionary war. I want a musical about algebra guys.

I'm so sad I will never see Hamilton with the original cast members 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Like Lin isn't the best singer... but man in this type of scenario you really see just how talented he actually is. Most people in the car are just singing the words that most of us would sing, but Lin knows how much better it will sound with all the backing which he does pretty much solo... dudes fkn great

I am currently in my bed sick, and this managed to get me to sing along and smile! I love this!!

We have a happy car filled with...A white female, a black female, a gay man, a Latino, and a Brit! :-)

Lin: Hamilton is selling..fine.. *Hamilton tickets sell out the DAY THEY GO OUT*

0:57 love lin doing a harmony here that isn't even in the show

Audra has the most incredible voice! I just love her!

Lin’s been doing Hamilton for so long he answers people with “I’m at your service sir” now

Before Hamilton: 'I'm at your service, sir.' Oh, Polite! After Hamilton: 'I'm at your service, sir.' REFERENCES AND POLITE

Every time I watch this, I imagine the sound guy trying ferociously to keep all of the mics they placed in the car within their db limits as actual Broadway stars sing their hearts out. The sound pressure levels within that car had to be just off the charts.

THE HARMONIES AT 4:47 OHMYGOD

That's it. There will never be a better carpool karaoke.

Cordon: wanna hear some music? Lin: sure! Cordon: * puts "Burn" and glares at him angrily *

Here I am obsessing over everything Hamilton musical related. I’m years late I must confess, but it’s best thing I have ever watched while in quarantine. Such a feast for all the senses! 🙌🏻

This was 7 years ago and i am still loving it. The way they all look so happy while singing these songs is making my day.

This is what theatre kids look like when they are in the car going to Denny’s after the show.

This is probably the closest thing I'll see to broadway till I'm older

Well, James says that he wants them all to meet up in 10 years to see what they've achieved. Only 4 more years to go!!! We need a repeat of this!!!

Audra McDonald is my vocal idol. Her voice just melts me everytime. ♥️♥️♥️

“HAMILTON” Lin: “THATS ME!” “WHATS YA NAME MAN” lin: “LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA”

I'm not even a real Broadway fan and I deeply wished that was at least a 6 hour video.

Seeing Hamilton on Disney and live ( 2 TIMES at Sydney lyric Theatre) made me realise that i want to be like them. Be on Broadway, sing, be on a stage INFRONT of millions. I hope i make it that far. I really do.

when he said "hamilton is selling fine" i was like WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT IS SELLING LIKE CRAZY

I wanna be in the car where it happens, the car where it happens

I need a friend to sing Hamilton in the car with.

Audra MacDonald is just amazing!! I'd listen to her sing the manual to my kid's carseat!

Damn... the second Audra opens her mouth though... What a voice! What a talent!

"Hamilton" Lin: "That's me!" Awww

Mom- what do you want to do when you grow up? Me- be in a car singing Hamilton songs with Lin

This will never get old. Audra McDonald is a n awesome singer. That last note.

The collective “awww 🥰” was sooo wholesome ☺️ also love rent 😅

“As a theatre kid I can confi-“ baby the only people here ARE theatre kids. We know.

I have watched this video so many times. Every time I get chills. This video always makes me smile. They are proof that every theater kid out there has a chance to live their dream. It's beautiful to see them all together.

I always come back to this video because it reminds me of my musicaldays as a theatre kid. Best part of my life! Also, I think the part of Jesse pushing away Jane during One Day More is absolutely hilarious.

When all you want to do is be on broadway but you can't sing, dance, or act

it must be nice to be in a car when all the passengers can actually sing😂😂

I work as a background actor and a stand-in. I was working on this production a few months ago and luckily, the set was right in my hometown, just a 5 minute drive from my house. Usually I have to travel at least 30 minutes in an Uber or 1.5 hours on public transit to make it to most sets, which are usually downtown. I had already been working on the production for a few days, but for some reason on that day in particular, one of the wranglers made an announcement that there was going to be a new actor on set. They warned us not to approach them, ask for selfies or autographs, or post about their involvement in the production anywhere online. They reminded us that we were legally bound as per the NDAs we signed. Now, this announcement was a bit odd because they never have to specifically tell us not to do these things. Working in the film industry, it's already a well known rule that it's never allowed to approach cast and ask for selfies or anything like that, unless they start talking to you first. Even then, it's super unprofessional to ask for a selfie or autograph. You can get into a lot of trouble for doing this. Same goes for PAs, grips, and other crew (except for more important positions like assistant directors, directors, showrunners, producers etc.) So, to have a wrangler make this announcement got me thinking... How famous is this actor for them to have to specifically instruct us not to interact with them? Because I've worked on set with actors like Bob Odenkirk, Ryan Reynolds, and Mark Ruffalo and not once have I ever been told not to approach; it's just a given. So, before we went to set, I looked at the call sheet for the day to see who the actor was and I saw an actor's name I didn't recognize, so I looked it up and turns out it was a fake name. Weird. Also something I've never seen. Actors' real names (stage names) are always used on call sheets as far as I knew. Anyway, we got to set and I was placed at a table with another fellow BG. This man walked past us with a little boy, which I assumed was his son. He and I exchanged a look as they both walked past us because I was (unintentionally) staring at him. I swore I recognized him. I realized why I recognized him and said "that dude looks so much like Lin-Manuel Miranda". Then I remembered the announcement and thought "Wait... was that actually Lin-Manuel Miranda?" So I looked up if he has a son, and sure enough, he does. I Googled his name along with the name of the production I was working on and there were some rumours posted by a few publications that he might be involved in the production, but it was only speculation and never actually confirmed. So it became clear to me that it was in fact him and that his involvement was being kept secret, hence the warning. It also explained why there was a fake name on the call sheet; so that no one could take a picture of it and post it online, therefore leaking his involvement. I'm obviously not naming what the production is to keep it a secret until it comes out, but it was surreal and super cool seeing him in person like that. Not only did I see him on set, but he was in my hometown! The shitty little town I've lived in my whole life that nobody who doesn't live here has ever heard of. It was just super crazy to me to have an A-lister like 5 minutes from my house like that. Anyway, I'm excited to see this project when it does get released!! I love Lin-Manuel Miranda. I just saw Hamilton on Disney+ recently, and was an instant fan. He is a great actor, songwriter, playwright, and director as well. I saw his movie adaptation of "tick, tick... BOOM!" recently and loved it as well.

I guess we know why Lin always yells "WHAT?" at the end of one day more now

"And the world's gonna know your name! What's your name man?" "Lin-Manuel Miranda!" I honestly love him so much

This is me home alone. I just scream Hamilton, Heathers, Les Miserables, Beetlejuice, and any other musical.

Hamilton Parts: All the theater kids or everyone that likes Hamilton, just does what they do... it's so realistic

I love them all but Audra motherfreakin' McDonald is a true GOAT!!!!!💜💙💜💙 She is the person that first inspired me to even pursue theater when I saw that PBS special of Ragtime. Audra and Brian Stokes Mitchell will always have a dear and special place in my heart for how them sharing their gifts and talents truly changed my life for the better!

Ummm... aren’t any of you surprised that James cordon can sing Lafayette’s fastest rap?!!!????

*james cordon does the Lafayette rap* Me: I am full of respect for you James

So many incredible moments: James Corden's Guns and Ships (literally he was living my dream of rapping with LMM lol), Rent sing-a-long, and Audra MacDonald on One Day More. Sublimmmmmme.

Who's watching this in June 2021 just because they are excited about Broadway coming back and... In The Heights movie is out?!

I swear James Corden knows like every song in the world

"Hamilton tickets are selling fine" just fine?!

I listen to this about once or twice a month. Gives me so the feels. I can’t imagine how loud the vocals are in the car on One Day More.

Audra McDonald’s voice is a thing of beauty. What can’t she sing?

“Hamilton’s selling fine.” Biggest understatement of the century.

"Im at ur service sir" DID YOU HEAR THAT? LIN!!!!!!!!!!!

One day more was absolutely insane🤯😱 They were singing a whole Esemble with only five people and got in their roles so quick! Just amazing!!!👏👏👏

I came here for “One Day More” and I was not disappointed!! Audra is AMAZING wow 😮

This is every theatre kids wet dream

why was i expecting james and lin to perform the schuyler sisters-

“I’M IN A CAR WITH JAMES CORDEN” he’s just as excited to be alongside James as James is to be alongside the creator and star of Hamilton

By far the best carpool karaoke, quality wise. They are all having so much genuine fun, it is inspiring.

"I'm at your service, sir" Burr: SCREAMS FROM THE BOOT

“hamilton’s selling fine” that must be the understatement of the century

His “at your service, sir” being a nod to the play 😅

Poor Lin. He looks so tired. I'm grateful for all of the work he put into Hamilton. I would give an arm and a leg to meet him.

Be honest: this isn't your first - or fifth - time watching this.

WHATS YOUR NAME MAN? “Lin-Manuel Miranda” RIP Me who died of laughter

Fun Fact....When Audra sings at 8:53, that's when this emoji was invented! 💀💀💀 This set was incredible! I'm so happy to be a Broadway fan! ❤

5 years later and I still love this so much

Hold up is nobody gonna talk about how they perfectly harmonized there

James: “Which do you prefer...theatre or money?” Lin: yes

I come back every few months to see them sing One Day More lol. It’s just so good!

seeing them all sing seasons of love made me so happy omg

Lin-Manuel Miranda is adorable during this entire thing
