5. Okieriete Onaodowan (Hercules Mulligan/James Madison) jumped onstage to applaud a guy for filling in a front row seat.
When the announcer asked an audience member to sit in the empty seat (for the cameras, darling), a man from the middle of the theatre sprinted to the front. As the crowd burst into applause, Onaodowan jumped out from backstage to join in.

6. After Hamilton won the Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, Lin thrust the trophy into the air and said, “Take pictures!”
And in the most obvious (but still perfect) joke of the night, he yelled, “You’re in the room where it happened, motherf—ers!” before handing the trophy to Anthony Ramos (John Laurens/Philip Hamilton) and saying, “Now take pictures of Anthony with it!”

7. An emotional Anthony Ramos gave his mother some love.
“Yo, ma! This is for you!” he yelled from the stage to where she beamed in the orchestra pit. “From Bushwick to Broadway!”

8. The real Eliza Schuyler Hamilton was in attendance — sort of.
In the song, “Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story,” Eliza sings about founding the first private orphanage in New York City. That organization, Graham Windham, still exists today, and its president (along with some students!) were in attendance. The Hamilton legacy lives on!
