Beyoncé Vows to Steal Hamilton’s King George’s Walk
An early Hamilton highlight, in a play of highlights,
comes when King George (Jonathan Groff) comes out to basically sing a
breakup song to the colonies. Not only one of the catchiest melodies of
the musical, it might also be the show's funniest moment, as Groff walks
out in a very formal, deliberate, pompous stroll, looking around and
down upon the cast and audience. It's capped off with a particularly
condescending, sassy turn. It's pretty wonderful, and now it's
Beyoncé-approved. In a series of tweets
(below), Lin-Manuel Miranda told the story of the Queen coming up to
the King after the show and telling him she's stealing the walk. So,
next time Beyoncé plays Barclays, look out for a walk that'll
instinctively make 20,000 Brooklynites throw tea into the Gowanus.

Beyonce: Did you play the King?
Groffsauce: Yes.
Beyonce: I'm stealing your walk. I love your walk.
Groffsauce: *inarticulate sounds*
