Super Bowl: 'Hamilton' stars add 'sisterhood' to 'America the Beautiful'


It makes sense that the singers known for playing the Schuyler sisters on Broadway would add a lyric about "sisterhood."

Ahead of Super Bowl 51, original Hamilton actresses Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Jasmine Cephas Jones sang America the Beautiful with one small lyrical tweak: Their version went "And crown thy good with brotherhood ... and sisterhood."

Yep, those last two words aren't in the original tune. Instead, they're a feminist addition that the singers themselves suggested adding (according to Alex Lacamoire, who arranged the song).

And Twitter took note.
