The videos, which also feature Hamilton‘s music producer and orchestrator Alex Lacamoire, revealed the inspiration behind some of the songs in the musical. Miranda also looks back to the first audition of Renee Elise Goldsberry for the role of Angelica Schuyler, which she nailed despite only getting the material for Satisfied the night before.

“Renee blew us all away. She raps at the speed of thought, she sings gorgeously, and she was Angelica Schuyler from that moment on,” said Miranda, who described Satisfied as the hardest song in the show.

Spotify users may access the videos within the Best of Hamilton playlist, though they are only viewable on the platform’s mobile app.

Hamilton arrived on Disney+ nearly a year and a half ahead of schedule as a live stage production recording of the musical. The show, which revolves around the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton, has been massively successful since it launched on Broadway in 2015.

Disney+, which exclusively streams Hamilton online, requires a subscription fee of $7 per month or $70 per year.

We're nearing the announcement of Nvidia's upcoming RTX 50-series, which will most likely be revealed during CES 2025 in January. Despite the fact that it's less than a month away, we haven't seen any leaked benchmarks of the cards, so their performance remains an enigma. However, a leaker with a lengthy track record now sheds some light on what we can expect from each GPU, and that includes an up to 70% performance boost for Nvidia's best graphics card.

The leaker in question is OneRaichu on X (Twitter), who hasn't shared many new leaks recently, but has had some good insights in the past. As always with any type of leak, treat the following with caution -- it won't be long before we know with certainty what to expect from these upcoming GPUs.

Bid farewell to this small but helpful Windows 11 feature

As Microsoft mentions in a December 12 blog post, Windows 11 users will soon no longer receive future updates for the suggested actions menu. The helpful feature would offer you related actions when you copy items like dates or phone numbers with actions to create an event or make a call.

Microsoft first introduced the feature in a Windows 11 2022 update. It made the suggested actions menu appear and gave contextual information based on the copied data. Microsoft describes the feature as follows: "Suggested actions that appear when you copy a phone number or future date in Windows 11 are deprecated and will be removed in a future Windows 11 update."
