Things We Saw Today: Westworld‘s Evan Rachel Wood the Latest Celeb to Support #Ham4All

In addition to raising money for a great cause, one of the best things about the #Ham4All challenge is listening to a variety of voices sing music from Hamilton. This time, it’s Westworld‘s Evan Rachel Wood doing her best Angelica Schuyler while singing a bit from “Satisfied.” She totally nails it! That should be no surprise, though. Wood has always been really musically inclined and she’s the lead singer of a rock duo called Rebel and a Basketcase. The woman has pipes!
