The Cast of Hamilton Gives Prince the Stirring, "Crazy" Tribute He Deserves

The shocking, sudden death of Prince left fans reeling yesterday, and among the many celebrity tributes to the musical icon, the cast of the smash Broadway musical Hamilton had the perfect way of honoring him. At the end of their Thursday night production, the cast danced like absolute maniacs to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy," which is exactly the kind of rousing display of love and music that we think the legend would have enjoyed. Afterward, Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda summed up the moving experience by tweeting, "Good night guys. Today we laughed, we cried, we mourned, we danced. What more could we ask of that electric word, life?"
