John Krasinski orchestrated a surprise Zoom performance from Lin-Manuel Miranda and the original "Hamilton" cast for 9-year-old Aubrey.
Aubrey missed out on seeing the show in Jacksonville when it was postponed indefinitely. However, Krasinski promised to fly her and her mom to New York to see "Hamilton" on Broadway when the coronavirus crisis is over.
Lin-Manuel Miranda then popped up on the Zoom chat and said: "I think we can top that now."
The original cast then joined and performed Aubrey's favorite song, "Alexander Hamilton," over Zoom.
Krasinski said: "If you can't go to 'Hamilton,' we're bringing 'Hamilton' to you!"
John Krasinski organized a surprise performance of "Hamilton" for 9-year-old musical super-fan Aubrey, who was set to see the show in Jacksonville last week before it was postponed indefinitely.
Krasinski invited Aubrey onto his new YouTube show, "Some Good News," where she told him that she watched "Mary Poppins Returns" the night she was supposed to be seeing "Hamilton."
"This corona thing is a real bummer, isn't it?" Krasinski said, before promising Aubrey that when "all of this is over" he'd fly her and her mom out to New York and get them tickets to see "Hamilton" on Broadway.
"Something tells me you might be a bigger fan of my wife than mine," Krasinski added, to which Aubrey replied that her fandom was "about the same."
"I've never really seen 'The Office' or whatever," Aubrey said. "I've seen a bunch of memes on it."

Krasinski then introduced his wife Emily Blunt, who asked Aubrey her thoughts on "Mary Poppins Returns," though the youngster said she only decided to watch the sequel because "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda was in it.
Miranda himself then joined the Zoom meeting, much to Aubrey's amazement.
"Hi Aubrey, how are you? I'm so sorry you didn't get to see 'Hamilton,' I'm so glad to meet you," Miranda said, to which Aubrey could only squeak and nod.

Krasinski told Miranda that he and Blunt had it "handled," and were sending Aubrey and her mum to the Broadway show.
"That's amazing," Miranda said. "I think we can top that right now, though."
A smattering of popping sounds went off, and Aubrey noted: "There are a bunch of people just joining!"
And, just like that, the original cast of "Hamilton" all joined the Zoom meeting and launched into a performance of "Alexander Hamilton," Aubrey's favorite song from the show.
Krasinski said: "If you can't go to 'Hamilton,' we're bringing 'Hamilton' to you!"
