In the face of theaters going dark due to coronavirus, the Broadway legend just released a never-before-heard demo track from Hamilton that didn't make the show's final cut — for free.
In the song, Hamilton is asking George Washington for advice on behalf of his "friend" who has found himself in quite a predicament. For anybody who had been inspired by this show, this is like finding a diamond in a pile of gold. Click his link to listen. Thanks, Lin-Manuel!
Wish I could send you peace of mind via this app.

Alas.
But I can send you music no one's heard. Here's a cut Hamilton/Washington tune called I Have This Friend. No one's heard it, not even Kail.
Funnier if you picture me and @ChrisisSingin singing it.https://t.co/lhkLP0jQeT
