John Krasinski has been bringing some much-needed positivity with his new YouTube series, Some Good News. He uses the show to talk about heartwarming stories and brings in special guests.
Last week he reunited with his former The Office costar Steve Carell in the first episode. On Sunday night, his second episode had something very special in store for viewers too.
It all started when John showed that a mom tweeted at Lin-Manuel Miranda, saying that her family was supposed to see Hamilton for her daughter Aubrey's ninth birthday; Aubrey is a huge fan. But because of the coronavirus pandemic, their plans changed, so instead they watched Mary Poppins Returns.
John then adorably interviewed Aubrey on the air. "I hear you're a big Hamilton fan. One to 10, what do we think? Are we a 7 or 8 or...?" asked John. Aubrey was quick to respond:
John shared some good news: "The social distancing thing is very important, so I have a deal for you: When it's all over, I will fly you and your mom to New York and you will see Hamilton on Broadway. How does that sound?"
Aubrey's face says it all!
But that's not all John had in store for Aubrey's birthday.
He introduced Aubrey to the new Mary Poppins herself, Emily Blunt!
Right when Emily was talking to Aubrey, someone popped up on Zoom!
Aubrey was absolutely speechless.
When John explained that he'll be sending Aubrey to see Hamilton in New York City, Lin-Manuel decided to make her dreams come true a bit early. "That's amazing! I think we can top that right now, though," he said.
The Hamilton cast started popping up to sing "Alexander Hamilton," which just happens to be Aubrey's favorite song from the musical!
THE. WHOLE. ORIGINAL. CAST.
I got misty-eyed watching, and I can't even imagine what Aubrey was feeling!
Watch the whole thing below and prepare yourself for some happy tears:
