Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt release Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen mash-up

Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt have released a mash-up of songs from their respective shows called "Found Tonight".

Arranged by Hamilton orchestrator Alex Lacamoire, the song combines lyrics from "The Story of Tonight" and "You Will Be Found" from Miranda's Hamilton and Pasek and Paul's Dear Evan Hansen – which Platt starred in on Broadway. A portion of the proceeds from the single will go to the March For Our Lives Initiative, which supports a demonstration taking place in Washington on 24 March demanding an end to gun violence and mass shootings in American schools.
