Oh, take a shot, take a shot, take a shot, and I am not going to wave my, not going to wave my shot

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! We're going to say some many nice things, so I am going to give you the freedom to sit if you want, lie down if you want, do whatever you want to do

In 10 years, in 3,535 performances, you need a lot of brilliant performers

And we have had, over 10 years, 161 performers here on Broadway

And before I go any further, I want to bring out the swings, the understudies, and the stand-byes without whom we cannot do our show

Welcome. Come, come, come. There is no Hamilton without this group of people

And here in our audience tonight, we have 23 members of the original Broadway cast and 85 more alumni

and I invite all of you to please come and join us from stage right, stage left, and populate our stage

Come on, guys. Over here. May I please acknowledge my co-producers, Sander Jacobs, Jill Furman, and the wonderful Public Theater and Oscar Eustace, who have been with us in the very beginning

May I please acknowledge Ian Weinberger, our conductor, and the extraordinary band that

plays for us here eight times a week. May we give it up for the crew, the dressers, the wardrobe staff, the Planet House team

Our house manager since day one, Timmy Catalina. The ushers and our box office staff

We have so many ushers who have been with us every single day since 2015

We can't do this show without our stage management team. and I want to acknowledge Jason Bassett

Edward White, Cameron Hall-Singer, and all of the stage managers we've had over 10 years

I want to acknowledge our company managers since day one, Rick Burney

and our management team, Nick Lugo, Andy Jones, and our own executive producer, Maggie Brown

And I want to acknowledge all of the folks, the advertising, the marketing, the accounting, the legal, all of the people that work at their desks every day to keep our show running

You know what people always ask? How do you do a show for 10 years and maintain the quality And do you know how you do it With the most extraordinary team of artistic associates anywhere And I want to welcome them here tonight From the music department

Matt Gallagher and Kurt Crowley. From the choreographic department, Stephanie Clemens and Michael Midland. And our associate director, Patrick Vassell

When you see a great show, they're the ones working every single week to keep it so great

We have amazing designers. And the great Paul Tazwell is out of town, but we acknowledge our beautiful costume designer, Antonio Lerner

I ask you I ask you all to take a moment

see the light feel the light and feel the presence of our beloved

Howell Binkley lighting designer who passed away in 2020 Big love you Howell

And we're so lucky

that our sound designer Nevin Steinberg is here tonight Welcome Nevin And we are so lucky

that our extraordinary set designer David Korens is with us tonight Thank you

It is my great pleasure to welcome Lynn's cabinet. Let me first start with our orchestrator, music supervisor, original conductor, vocal

arranger, Alex Lackenwald. There was West Side Story, there was a chorus line, there is Hamilton, and there is Andy Blankenbuehler

the greatest choreographer of teams ever. We have a leader

We have an artistic visionary. We have a friend. We have an inspiration

His name is Thomas Kale. I hand it to you, Michael

Jeffrey Seller, everybody. Jeffrey Seller. I know what everybody wants right now is like a tight 15

So guys, I've been working on my material. It is towards the end of the night Much has been said So I going to be the bridge here and just take a moment to acknowledge the nature of theater is to step into the dark breathe the same air as the performers and take a leap

And the notion of making something time after time is infused with a simple idea which is incredibly complicated to achieve, which is chasing the illusion of the first time

Still got it, y'all. Still got it. Tired, but got it. I really, I love this building, y'all

It's a warm house. And the one thing we did not have to generate or fabricate tonight

is what it felt like to do this for the first time

Because what happened tonight will never happen again. and has never happened. We've been at opening nights

We've had momentous nights in other buildings and in this building. But for the company that is in the Rogers today

doing this show eight times a week to step out here, to feel your heartbeat, absorb it

and know that also in that audience are fellow travelers now in front of you

who don't just see them but understand something in their bones and in their molecules

because they also have been on this stage and they have given. And to have that as an audience

to be lifted by that and to feel that and to get that heartbeat in your throat and still come out

and tell this story with clarity and excellence is a profound challenge

that was met tonight and what a thing to witness and to behold

So I thank you. I thank you all. And perhaps only in this building

could a company that has stood on the stage and then can sit out there and watch

and send that much love towards the stage, beginning from the downbeat through the end of the show

watching and being with you is a testament to what they gave here

and how nice that they could sit back and also be with us in the dark

somewhere out there and get this story told to them after they told it so many times for us

so I thank you all thank you for that and now can you believe that Lynn has a wax

version of him? I remember when he was a kid with no friends. It wasn't that long ago

You know, many things occur to me when I say this building, and one of them is that you

can't do it without the right people up here, or back there, or down below. And you can't

do it without the words. And we have some really good words in this one. But we don't

take that for granted because everybody has the same access to the same words but they didn't put him in a row like he did

And there's a couple things I know about him. He loves his family, he loves making

things he loves being with people and he loves this city And he loves the city in his bones he can stop writing about how much he loves this city so he just got off the bus and just arrived guys

he's a kid from out of town please show him some new york love lin manuel miranda

I may not live to see our glory

But I will gladly join the fight And when our children tell our story

We'll tell the story of tonight Let's have another round tonight Let's have another round tonight

It's a blast of freedom Something they can never take away No matter what they tell you

Raise a glass to the four of us Tomorrow there'll be more of us

Telling the story of tonight Telling the story of tonight Raise a glass to the people of

Something we can never take away No matter what they tell you

Let's have another round tonight Yeah, you'll blow us all away Someday, someday

Yeah, you'll blow us all away World turned upside down When you're living on your knees

The world turned upside down Down, down, down In the grass, we had the job done

Take a shot, take a shot, take a shot And I am not going to wave my heart, not going to wave my shot
