Broadway enthusiasts who weren't in the "room where it happened" took to X to share their reactions. And they didn't hold back with their excitement and nostalgia.
One fan declared, "It's crazy how the first notes played and I got the biggest damn smile on my face. Oh, Hamilton! #Tonys."

Someone else echoed, "Hamilton being 10 years old makes me feel so old like omg I might as well retire #tonys."
A different X user wrote, "HAMILTON AT THE TONYS IM SCREAMING."
However, may thought Anthony Ramos was missing from the performance—and viewers couldn't help but wonder why.
One fan pointed out, "Wait. Anthony Ramos is there but wasn't included in the Hamilton reunion??"
Another echoed, "Anthony Ramos not getting a special moment in the Hamilton reunion is so sjdjfjfjfg."
"Yet another fan promised, "Anthony Ramos i will never forgive u for showing up to the tony awards and not participating in the Hamilton performance YOUR MISSING PRESENCE WAS NOTICED."
However, fans finally did spot him after a re-watch or two, and some still weren't pleased.
One X user complained, "Anthony Ramos actually showing up for the Hamilton performance just to be constantly cut out of frame and the only man with a main role without a solo… omg."
Another agreed, writing, "Ariana DeBose getting more screen time as the Bullet than Anthony Ramos is dastardly. Levels of pettiness from the Hamilton team perhaps never before seen on TV."
In 2016, Hamilton snagged a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations, winning 11 of them, including the nod for Best Musical.
The Tony Awards kicked off at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and will be available to stream the following day on Paramount+.
