VIDEO: Before "Hamilton," they did this

The best concert I’ve been to in years. My friend Chris Sullivan is in a hip-hop improv sketch comedy group called Freestyle Love Supreme. He shared the stage with Lin-Manuel Miranda of Hamilton fame. Their show sold out in 20 seconds. I got a free ticket and made this video!
