The Schuyler Sisters are singing at the Super Bowl.
The National Football League said Friday that Phillipa
Soo, Renée
Elise Goldsberry and Jasmine Cephas Jones, the actresses who
originated the roles of Eliza, Angelica and Peggy Schuyler in “Hamilton,” would
reunite to perform “America the Beautiful” during the televised pregame show.
The three women are popular among fans of the Broadway musical —
at the annual BroadwayCon gathering of theater fans,
now underway in New York, some people dress as the characters, and at a recent
Sotheby’s auction
of Hamilton family documents there was particular interest in
correspondence involving the sisters. (Eliza, of course, married Alexander
Hamilton, and, after his death in a duel, became a champion of his legacy;
Angelica was a confidante of both Alexander and Eliza.)
