The Muppets Perform the First Act of ‘Hamilton’

Comedian Ricky Downes III, a “crazy redheaded bird person who does voice acting, stand up comedy, animation, and memorizes the entirety of The Lion King“, quite amazingly reenacted the first act of Hamilton as different characters of The Muppets.

Kermit the Frog, quite appropriately, played the title role while Animal played King George III. Beaker meeped and Camilla the Chicken clucked their respective ways through their respective solos.

This amazing recording is also available on SoundCloud.
