Ladies and gentleman, the moment you’ve been waiting for: the pride of Sesame Street, General Elmo.

Elmo stopped by the Richard Rodgers Theatre this weekend to record a special performance of Hamilton’s “The Story of Tonight” with Christopher Jackson, who plays George Washington in the hit musical.

Since the hit Broadway show’s $10 lottery went online for the winter, creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda has been recording special performances and behind-the-scenes videos as part of the #Ham4Ham program. Past guests include Jimmy Fallon, Weird Al Yankovic, and Audra McDonald.
