Lin-Manuel Miranda made a triumphant return to the stage—this time in a classroom setting—during the episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that aired on Tuesday night, August 5. Partnering with Fallon and The Roots, Miranda delivered an exuberant medley featuring some of the most iconic songs from his hit musical Hamilton, all while using playful toy instruments to add a unique twist to the performance.

In a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Hamilton, the celebrated creator and leading performer, Lin-Manuel Miranda, donned a period costume reminiscent of colonial America. He joined host Jimmy Fallon and the show’s house band to creatively reimagine the iconic songs “Alexander Hamilton” and “My Shot.” This delightful performance incorporated classroom staples such as tambourines, triangles, melodicas, and kazoos, transforming a beloved musical into a playful and educational experience for viewers of all ages.

The segment was a continuation of the highly popular Classroom Instruments series, a cherished feature of the late-night show. This series has previously showcased a diverse array of artists, including global superstars like Adele and BTS, who have participated in stripped-down yet whimsical renditions of their biggest hits, providing a fresh take on familiar songs and making them accessible to a wider audience.
