Three original cast members of the Tony Award-winning musical Hamilton will sing "America the Beautiful" as part of Super Bowl LI pregame festivities at NRG Stadium in Houston, the National Football League and Fox have confirmed.

The performance will be televised live on Fox prior to kickoff on Feb. 5.

Renee Elise Goldsberry, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Phillipa Soo played the Schuyler Sisters in the Broadway phenomenon.

"This year, on Feb. 5th, Houston becomes the greatest city in the world for the @Superbowl w. #TheSchuylerSisters!" the official Hamilton Twitter account said.

The NFL previously announced Luke Bryan will perform the national anthem, while Lady Gaga will headline the Pepsi Zero Sugar Super Bowl LI Halftime Show.
