Sarah Jornsay-Silverberg, who lives in Lisbon and owns a graphic design business, said writing parody songs is a longtime passion of hers, and she often pens tunes to honor friends and family for big life events. Among her greatest hits is \u201cMy Dad Lee\u201d to the tune of \u201cLet It Be,\u201d which she performed for Father\u2019s Day, complete with ukulele accompaniment.<\/p>\n
To be sure, they are not the only set of sisters to use the \u201cHamilton\u201d song at a real life wedding. On YouTube, you\u2019ll find several other women who have performed their own renditions about their beloved brides. (There\u2019s a video entitled \u201cSatisfied (The Greatest Maid of Honor Speech of All Time)\u201d<\/a> with 19,000 views and another called \u201cMaid of Honor Speech: Hamilton Style!<\/a>\u201d with 28,000 views.)<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d seen one video and then I was like: \u2018These are all going to influence me. I just need to go from the heart.\u2019 And I did,\u201d Sarah Jornsay-Silverberg said.<\/p>\n But few of the other videos had the reach of the one from the Jornsay-Silverberg sisters, which has been viewed more than 1.5 million times on TikTok. The online reaction to the post, which has been liked more than 283,000 times, was surprisingly warm, given the cultural penchant for dunking on grown-up theater kids<\/a>. (The sisters describe themselves as being from a \u201cBroadway family.\u201d) Even the actress Ren\u00e9e Elise Goldsberry, the original vocalist of \u201cSatisfied\u201d who won a Tony Award for \u201cHamilton,\u201d left a complimentary comment.<\/p>\n The sisters, who said they are also regular \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d watchers, didn\u2019t think anything of the Domingo sketch when they first saw it toward the end of 2024, and representatives from NBC did not respond to a message seeking to confirm if the video from the Jornsay-Silverbergs was the one referenced by Mr. Fowlie and Ms. O\u2019Sullivan.<\/p>\n \u201cNever in a million years did I think it was inspired by something that Jimmy saw in a viral TikTok video that my sister posted from her wedding,\u201d Sarah Jornsay-Silverberg said.<\/p>\n Still, they were delighted to learn they might have inspired the sketch.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need a confirmation,\u201d the sisters said, laughing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
