Yankees partner with Hamilton for 10th anniversary fan experience
The post Yankees partner with Hamilton for 10th anniversary fan experience appeared first on ClutchPoints. Anyone who says musicals and sports don't mix hasn't seen the New York Yankees join forces with Broadway for a one-of-a-kind celebration of Hamilton's 10th anniversary. When the Yankees host the Washington Nationals on August 25 at Yankee Stadium, the night will pay tribute to the Tony Award-winning musical with memorable performances, commemorative giveaways, and a salute to the show's legacy. The first 10,000 fans to enter the stadium will receive a limited-edition co-branded Yankees and Hamilton cap — a collectible merging two of New York's most iconic institutions. Those who want to guarantee their hat can purchase special event tickets, with $10 from each ticket going to Beyond the Stage Door. This nonprofit supports the development of diverse talent in theatrical management. The evening will kick off with actor Christopher Jackson, an original Hamilton cast member who played George Washington, performing the national anthem. Later, during the seventh-inning stretch, current Broadway cast members Stephanie Umoh, Morgan Anita Wood, and Cherry Torres — the Schuyler sisters — will perform 'God Bless America,' as reported by Andrew Gans of Playbill. Tony Award-winner Renée Elise Goldsberry, who originated the role of Angelica Schuyler, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Goldsberry, who recently released her debut album Who I Am, will add another layer of artistry to this cultural crossover night. The Yankee Stadium video board will show Hamilton-themed visuals throughout the game and connect fans to the cultural phenomenon that began in 2015 and revolutionized musical theatre. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created the musical based on Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton, was part of a historic run, winning 11 Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and earning more than $1 billion. 'Hamilton Cap Night' means much more than a promotional activity—it represents how far the musical has traveled in American culture, politics, and education. This partnership with the Yankees reflects the show's legacy and its place in New York culture.

'Not Gonna Lie': Jelly Roll Reveals The Big Trump Move He Thinks Is 'Awesome'
'Jimmy Kimmel Live' guest host Jelly Roll mostly shied away from politics during the show's opening monologue on Thursday night, but he did praise President Donald Trump for one recent decision. 'It's the UFC fight President Trump's planning on having on the South Lawn on the 4th of next July,' the rapper/country singer said. 'Now, listen, I know this is causing a little bit of controversy. But for me, I think it's awesome. I'm not gonna lie.' Trump said earlier this month that he was going to host a major UFC event on the White House grounds next year on Independence Day, with an audience of up to 25,000 spectators. Critics mocked Trump over the idea, but Jelly Roll said he sees this from another perspective. 'Where I'm from, watching two meth heads beat the piss out of each other on a lawn is just a part of our year,' he said. 'I tell you what, a UFC fight at the White House might not be what our Founding Fathers would have wanted. But our founding stepdads would have loved that shit.' He also offered another idea. 'We should put an octagon at the Pentagon and have a couple of geometry teachers fight it out,' he said. 'Let's settle this once and for all.' See more in his Thursday night monologue:

How Kylie Kelce Plans to Solve Her and Jason Kelce's Daughters' Fear of Fireworks This 4th of July
Kylie Kelce is getting creative when it comes to enjoying Independence Day with her kids. On the Thursday, July 3, episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, the media personality, 33, explained that she and husband Jason Kelce's four daughters — Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finnley, 3 months — are not fans of fireworks. However, she and the retired Philadelphia Eagles player, 37, have some clever ways to work around that. 'I'm your host, Kylie Kelce, longtime rule follower, noted baby wearer and fan of fireworks. Happy Fourth,' she told listeners. 'The girls do not like fireworks. We're gonna try to have some headphones available, and maybe we'll be able to see some from inside the house. That could be, that could be key, honestly.' The Pennsylvania native did not disclose where she and her family would be enjoying the fireworks show, but the pair do own a beach home in Sea Isle City on the Jersey Shore. Kylie recently opened up about 'summer break as a parent' during the June 19 episode of her podcast, revealing that her daughters would be attending day camps. 'Everybody knows that when school lets out, that means we have all day every day at home with each other. It's so much fun, we're having fun,' Kylie joked. 'But this summer is the first summer where the girls are actually going to do some camps. And when I say camps, I mean, they're 5 and 4 guys. It's like a three- to four-day situation. I think it's maximum three hours. We're really it's just to get them out somewhere else, anywhere else, and moving around.' She added, 'I will say that our age range right now, 5 to — I don't even know how old the youngest one is. I don't know. You get it. She's new. It's hard to find an activity for everyone. So, as long as I can hook Finn to the front of me and everybody else has their shoes on, we just get the heck out.' Kylie also shared that having a water table has been a great way to keep her toddlers entertained over the summer — but she warned that it comes with its own set of challenges. 'I'm going to tell you right now I am a tried and true water table lady. OK, now the number of times I have to say don't drink it [is] enough to send anybody over the edge,' she remarked. 'Especially with three of them because you're telling each of them individually, 'Do not drink the water in the water table,' and then on top of that, you're trying to tell them not to convince each other to then drink the water in the water table.'
