We are obsessed with the Hamilton musical.

Here’s proof. 

Which is why we’re beyond excited to watch the Hamilton cast perform at the Grammy Awards Feb. 15 from their hub at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City.

The show’s opening number will be performed by the cast of Hamilton, the hit musical based on the life of Alexander Hamilton.

It’s only the eighth time a major musical theater show has performed as part of the Grammys.

And that just proves what a big deal Hamilton has become since it opened on Broadway in August.

Sure, at first glance this looks like a picture of Stroller Strong Moms of Savannah mamas hard at work.

But what else does this picture capture? It shows the four mamas who are EIGHT months pregnant who safely and amazingly impress Stroller Strong Moms instructors with their dedication and badass baby brewing abilities.

It shows the mamas who ALREADY got in a run before class and the ones who stayed after to put in MORE work.

It shows the THREE new moms at class today who killed the workout, and the moms who have been here since it first started.

It shows THIRTY FOUR driven and inspiring ladies who Stroller Strong Moms instructors have the pleasure of teaching each day.

If you’ve ever wondered if Stroller Strong Moms of Savannah is a good fit for you, the answer is YES and they can’t wait for you to join their village!

Note: This picture does not show the adorable couple who stopped to awe at this group of fit ladies (and maybe take a picture or two).
