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+.

Dakota Johnson Trades Femme Fatale Dresses for Summer Whites
Throughout her Materialists press tour, Dakota Johnson has reminded us that dressing sexy exists on a spectrum. The Celine Song film, which premieres June 13, follows Johnson as Lucy, a professional matchmaker who finds herself caught in a love triangle (AKA, the Celine Song special). For her various press obligations, Johnson, styled by Kate Young, has channeled the Girl Next Door in cool Khaite jeans and suede jackets—albeit with sheer shapewear—to the sirenesque in her backless, asymmetrical dress. As she inched closer to the premiere, Johnson offered a modern take on the revenge dress. For her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, she rocked a sheer black Gucci dress with a criss-crossing neckline over a brown strapless bodysuit. And at the premiere, she chose a slinky black gown that wrapped around her neck and revealed a tasteful amount of sideboob. AeonToday, the actor traded her femme fatale dressing for summer whites. She wore a simple white midi-length tank dress, which she styled with black cat-eye sunglasses, a black shoulder bag, and white pointy-toe pumps. While much more pared-down than her sheer numbers, Dakota Johnson reminds us that in her body-conscious white dress and sultry cat-eye glasses, sexy comes in many forms.

Director Reveals If Keanu Reeves Will Be In ‘John Wick' Spinoff ‘Caine'
"From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" partial character poster featuring Keanu Reeves. With Keanu Reeves appearance in the John Wick spinoff Ballerina, what are the chances of him turning up in the franchise spinoff Caine? The director of the franchise has an answer. Reeves, of course, seemingly perished at the end of 2023's John Wick: Chapter 4, creating a creative dilemma for Stahelski when it came to the announcement at CinemaCon in April that the star would be reprising his role in John Wick 5. In the interim, Reeves was brought back in a supporting capacity in From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, starring Ana Armas as ballerina-turned-assassin Eve Maccaro, which opened in theaters over the weekend. Since the film is set during the events of 2019's John Wick: Chapter 3: Parabellum, it allowed Wick to return in a way that made sense to the narrative. Produced by Stahelski and directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina is the first of at least two more From the World of John Wick features in the works. John Wick franchise studio Lionsgate announced at CinemaCon that in addition to John Wick 5, it is producing an animated John Wick prequel and the unofficially titled Caine, named after Donnie Yen's blind assassin character in John Wick: Chapter 4. Unlike Ballerina, however, the upcoming Caine movie won't feature Reeves, Stahelski recently told The Hollywood Reporter. 'The [Donnie] Yen spinoff doesn't have the John Wick character,' Stahelski said. 'It's got [Donnie] Yen and it's an ode to kung fu movies. If John Wick 1 was about Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, this is about Chow Yun-fat, John Woo and Wong Kar-wai. So, I think that one is a little easier to get it across to audiences because it's in a sub-genre of what we love.' LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 03: (L-R) Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski attend the "John Wick" ...

(Photo byfor Lionsgate) Now that Chad Stahelski is telling spinoff tales from the world of John Wick, The Hollywood Reporter asked the director-producer if he ever worried about John Wick movies working without the Wick character. 'Keanu and I actually just talked about this,' Stahelski told THR. 'Look, it's always tricky. I think the world can be supported as long as you don't go crazy and carpet bomb. What we're doing now are stories we really want to tell that feel organic. You've seen Alice in Wonderland. Now what about the Rabbit? What about the Cheshire Cat? 'Also, sometimes in your own franchise, you get so far up your own a-- with the mythology that by the 10th movie you don't know what's going on,' the filmmaker added. 'I don't ever want to get that way with Wick. I want each one to be able to stand alone.' From the World of John Wick: Ballerina earned a projected $25 million from 3,409 North American theaters, finishing at No. 2 at the domestic box office behind Disney's live-action adaptation of Lilo & Stitch, which made an estimated $32.5 million from 4,185 venues. Release dates are yet to be announced for Caine, the John Wick animated prequel and John Wick 5.
