Hamilton is about to get really queer!

Drag Race superstar Jinkx Monsoon and Glee’sDarren Criss are set to star in a one-time-only performance of a spinoff of the popular musical.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Broadway musical, creator Lin-Manuel Miranda announced that a special edition of his “Ham4Ham” concert series will return on May 13 with special guest stars.

The on-off performance is an impromptu concert series that started back in 2015, but Miranda announced on Instagram that tonight’s free concert will feature cast members of current Broadway musicals and will celebrate Hamilton’s monumental anniversary.

Jinkx and Criss might be best known for their roles on TV shows, but they are both currently on Broadway. Jinkx is currently starring in Pirates! The Penzance Musical and Criss is one of the leads in Maybe Happy Endings.

Criss’ co-star Helen J Shen is also set to star alongside the cast of Buena Vista Social Club.

Miranda announced the news alongside a photoshopped picture of the stars who will be in the show outside of a Hamilton show. He wrote in the caption that the performance will be live-streamed on the Hamilton musical’s official Instagram account for people who can’t attend in person.

Hamilton premiered off-Broadway in 2015 before becoming a sensation that swept the nation. The play is a combines hip-hop, jazz, and R&B and takes the audience from Alexander Hamilton’s early life through becoming the George Washington’s right-hand man to his death in the infamous duel with Aaron Burr.
