Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jimmy Fallon Welcome Back Broadway With an Incredible Medley of Hits

Jun 9 2021 - 10:15am

No one is more excited for the return of Broadway than Lin-Manuel Miranda [1]! On Tuesday night, the In the Heights [2] creator appeared on The Tonight Show for a theatrical performance about the return of musicals in September. Miranda and Jimmy Fallon [3] put their own fresh spin on "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton to welcome back all the Broadway shows they've missed over the last year. They re-create scenes from Dear Evan Hansen [4], Wicked [5], West Side Story [6], The Book of Mormon, and so many more in the delightful parody.

"Broadway, oh, Broadway, you're finally coming back," Miranda sings. "I miss drinking wine out of sippy cups and a $20 snack / A night at the theater, my favorite kind of date / I even miss the people who always show up late." The best part is when Broadway legends Olga Merediz, Phylicia Rashad, Kristin Chenoweth [7], Christopher Jackson, Laura Benanti, and Jimmy Smits join them on stage. Watch the hilarious performance of "Broadway's Back!" above and get excited for Broadway to reopen at full capacity [8] on September 14. Da da da dat da!
