The cast from Broadway phenomenon Hamilton is using their day off to venture to the White House and, just like Aaron Burr, I’ve got to be in the room where it happens.

In a video announcement, Hamilton writer, star, and MacArthur-appointed genius Lin-Manuel Miranda—flanked by the actors who portray three American presidents in the musical—says that they’re journeying to the nation’s capital to perform for the First Family and test a pilot version of their educational program as part of First Lady Michelle Obama’s student workshops.

D.C. may have lost out to Chicago for the first production outside of New York, but the District already has a place in the show’s history. The president’s abode has played its role in the development of Hamilton. Miranda performed the play’s first song at the White House in 2009, back when he thought he was writing a mixtape rather than a musical.
