During the 78th Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 8, Lin-Manuel Miranda and his ensemble of American revolutionaries reunited for a special performance in honor of the hit musical's 10th anniversary. Miranda, the creator and star of the Tony-winning show, was joined by more than two dozen members of the original cast, including including Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Anthony Ramos, Christopher Jackson, Jonathan Groff and Ariana DeBose. The tribute kicked off with Miranda, 45, and Odom Jr., 43, performing a snippet from the song "Non-Stop." Then, the show-stopping performance continued with a melody of tracks from the beloved Hamilton score, including "My Shot," "The Schuyler Sisters," "You'll Be Back," "The Room Where it Happens" and "History Has Its Eyes on You." Hamilton's reunion performance came hours after footage from rehearsals was shared to the musical's official Instagram account, set to a backing track of The Cranberries' hit "Dreams."

Speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, Diggs, 43, and his wife, Emmy Raver-Lampman, who is also an original cast member, opened up about them all coming together again. "It was the most heartwarming, beautiful reunion of just 28 people that we love so much in a room," said Raver-Lampman, 36. "There's a lot of us that see each other often, and everybody sees each other, but not in this capacity. So, yeah, it was beautiful." Diggs, who won a Tony Award in 2016 for his performance in the show, added, "In this business, you keep moving so much that you don't often take the time to recognize how special something is while you're in it. It was really special. Obviously, the response was special, but that group of people is pretty singular. I've never been in a room like it." Goldsberry, 54, another Tony winner, recalled the reunion being an emotional affair. "I walked in there, and every single person that came into the room, just tears of joy bubbled up from my soul," she said. "We group hugged a million times. We just love each other so much." Hamilton officially opened on Aug. 6, 2015, at New York City's Richard Rodgers Theatre, where it continues to play. Written and composed by Miranda with direction by Thomas Kail, the musical — which blends hip-hop, R&B, and classical musical theater to tell the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton — was an immediate hit, and remains one of the hottest tickets on Broadway. At the 2016 Tony Awards, the show collected 11 statuettes including Best Musical. Hamilton went on to win Grammys, Oliviers and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The original cast was also featured in a filmed version of the stage production, streaming now on Disney+.

"Returning to Hamilton is a deeply meaningful homecoming," Odom said in a statement.

Xbox Games Showcase 2025: all the news and trailers
It's looking like another busy summer of gaming news: Microsoft just announced its next Xbox Games Showcase livestream, which will take place on June 8th at 1PM ET. The company says that the event will include 'a look at upcoming titles from across our first-party studios, in addition to incredible new titles from our third-party partners across the globe.' And after the event wraps up there will be a second stream focused entirely on The Outer Worlds 2, which is due to launch later this year. Last year's showcase included major announcements covering games like Perfect Dark, Doom: The Dark Ages, and Starfield. In addition to The Outer Worlds sequel, the 2025 edition will likely include more about the next Call of Duty and other holiday games; though we probably won't see much, if anything, of Fable, which has been delayed to 2026. Doom: The Dark Ages, meanwhile, launches in May, so maybe we'll hear about future updates or expansions for id's dark fantasy shooter.

Sony is one of the best-known TV manufacturers for good reason, and over the years it's delivered some of the best TVs you can buy. Right now Sony's the perfect option thanks to a slick BOGO deal that'll let you get two TVs for the price of one. If you buy a Bravia 8 II TV right now, you'll get a free TV thrown in worth up to $590. The biggest savings come when you pick the 65-inch Bravia 8 II for $4,000, because Sony will give you a 55-inch X77L TV gratis. That's a great size for most spaces. Alternatively, you can buy a 55-inch Braiva 8 II for $3,500 and get a 50-inch TV included. No matter how you look at it, you'll be getting two solid TVs thanks to this stellar deal. Memorial Day TV Deals All of the biggest TV brands are offering big discounts for Memorial Day, and we've filtered through every one of them to bring you the very best deals.
