The original Hamilton cast members delivered an epic performance of a medley of songs from the hit show—including "Nonstop," "My Shot," "The Schuyler Sisters," "Guns and Ships," "You'll Be Back," "The Room Where It Happens," "Satisfied," and more.
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."
Another exclaimed, "I remember watching Hamilton at the Tonys nine years ago and here I am now. I feel old."
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+.

Rachel Brosnahan to Star in Season 2 of Apple's PRESUMED INNOCENT — GeekTyrant
Rachel Brosnahan is heading from Metropolis to the courtroom. T Emmy and Golden Globe-winning star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and soon-to-be Lois Lane in James Gunn's Superman has locked in her next high-profile role. She'll lead and executive produce Season 2 of Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent , the legal drama from David E. Kelley and J.J. Abrams. Season 2 pivots to a new case and a new character. This time, the story is drawn from Dissection of a Murder , the debut legal thriller by Jo Murray. Plot specifics are still tightly sealed, but expect another deep dive into obsession, power, and the emotional fallout of crime. The description of the book reads: 'When Leila Reynolds is handed her first murder case, she's shocked at how high-profile it is: the murder of a well-respected, well-known judge. This shouldn't be the kind of case she's leading; it's way beyond her expertise. But the defendant, Jack Millman, is clear. He wants her, and only her. 'To make things worse, he's refusing to talk. How is she supposed to prove herself on what appears to be an unwinnable case? Losing is not an option. She must find the most persuasive argument. Trials aren't won by convincing judges or fellow barristers – they're all about convincing a jury. 'Suddenly, Leila finds herself fighting not only to keep Jack out of prison, but also to keep her own secrets buried. It's true what they say – there are two sides to every story. Guilty or not guilty?' The first season of the series starred Jake Gyllenhaal and was inspired by Scott Turow's 1987 bestseller, centered on a murder that rocked Chicago's Prosecuting Attorney's office. Gyllenhaal played Rusty Sabich, a character first brought to screen by Harrison Ford in the 1990 film adaptation. Season 2 is being developed by David E. Kelley, who reimagined the story for Apple, will return as showrunner alongside Erica Lipez ( The Morning Show, We Were the Lucky Ones ). Abrams and Rachel Rusch Rich executive produce for Bad Robot. Gyllenhaal, though not returning as lead, continues to executive produce through his Nine Stories banner. Author Scott Turow is on board as co-executive producer. Source: Deadline

Baron Zemo Reportedly Returning in MARVEL ZOMBIES Animated Series — GeekTyrant
It looks like the undead aren't the only ones crawling back for Marvel Zombies . According to a new scoop from @MyTimeToShineH, Captain America: Civil War villain Baron Zemo is reportedly set to return in the upcoming animated Marvel Zombies series. Whether or not Daniel Brühl is reprising the role hasn't been confirmed yet, but it's hard to picture Zemo without him. Marvel Zombies will expand on the fan-favorite episode from What If...? Season 1, where we saw our heroes battling a horrifying, zombified version of the MCU. That story ended with Spider-Man, T'Challa, and Ant-Man's floating head flying to Wakanda… unaware that a zombified Thanos was standing by with a fully loaded Infinity Gauntlet. The new series is set to pick up on that cliffhanger and push the carnage forward, this time centering on a mostly Phase 4 roster of characters. As for Zemo? The last we saw of him, he was last scene in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier . In the comics, Zemo famously led the Thunderbolts, a team of villains pretending to be heroes who, over time, actually became heroes. The live-action Thunderbolts* movie skipped that plot entirely, and Zemo was nowhere to be seen. (Though it's been said he was briefly considered.) So what's a scheming genius doing in a zombie apocalypse? We don't know yet. There's no confirmation if he'll be undead himself or one of the last brilliant minds still trying to stay alive. But if Marvel knows what it's doing, Zemo's inclusion won't be just for a gruesome cameo. Back in February, Marvel Studios' Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation Brad Winderbaum revealed: 'Hudson [Thames] has been our animated voice for Spider-Man in the MCU so far. In What If...?, in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and he also plays Spider-Man in Marvel Zombies, which comes out Halloween time this year.' Hudson Thames will be joined by a pretty stacked voice cast: Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Awkwafina as Katy, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, Randall Park as Jimmy Woo, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Hailee Steinfeld as Hawkeye, Dominique Thorne as Ironheart, Iman Vellani as Ms. Marvel, and Todd Williams in a mysterious role. The four-episode animated series is directed by Bryan Andrews and written by Zeb Wells, with executive producers Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, Wells, and Andrews. The official synopsis is keeping it vague for now, simply stating: 'From Marvel Animation, 'Marvel Zombies' comes in time for Halloween in October 2025.' Marvel Zombies premieres October 3, 2025.
