Nabbing hard-to-get Broadway tickets is a little easier when you’re president. President Obama took his daughters Malia and Sasha to a performance of the sold-out musical Hamilton during a family trip to New York Saturday.
The show, which tells the story of Alexander Hamilton to a hip-hop score, has received rave reviews. But even the president’s appearance wasn’t enough to get Lin-Manuel Miranda, the show’s writer and star, on stage on his previously scheduled off day. An understudy performed instead.

Correction: The original version of this story misstated Lin-Manuel Miranda’s role in Hamilton. He is the show’s writer and star.
