Hamilton Alum Narrates Dawson's Creek Reunion After 20 Years
26 Sep, 2025
Summary
- Renée Elise Goldsberry narrated Dawson's Creek reunion event
- Event held at Richard Rodgers Theater, home of Hamilton
- Raised money for F Cancer and Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek
On September 22, 2025, the cast of the iconic TV series Dawson's Creek reunited for the first time in over two decades. The special event, which took place at the Richard Rodgers Theater—the home of the Broadway musical Hamilton—featured a live reading of the show's pilot episode.
Serving as the narrator for the reunion was Renée Elise Goldsberry, a Hamilton alum who originated the role of Angelica Schuyler. Goldsberry was asked to participate in the event by Hamilton director Thomas Kail, who is married to Dawson's Creek star Michelle Williams.
The reunion was organized as a charity event to raise money for F Cancer and Dawson's Creek lead actor James Van Der Beek, who was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer last year. Though Van Der Beek was unable to attend in person, he did make a surprise virtual appearance to introduce Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, who stepped in as his understudy for the event.
Reflecting on the emotional experience, Goldsberry said the reunion gave her "chills," as it allowed the Dawson's Creek cast to feel the love and support of their devoted fans in a way they had never experienced before. The event also served as a reunion for Goldsberry, who was reunited with her Girls5Eva co-star Busy Philipps, as well as her former Hamilton co-star Miranda.
