If you weren't one of the lucky fans to experience Capeside on Broadway, Us Weekly is taking you inside the 2025 Dawson's Creek reunion. Michelle Williams, who played Jen Lindley on the beloved WB show, organized a one-night-only reading of the Dawson's Creek pilot to raise money for F Cancer as former costar James Van Der Beek battles stage III colon cancer. After a stomach virus forced Van Der Beek, 48, to stay home, Lin Manuel-Miranda stepped in to play Dawson alongside Williams, Katie Holmes (Joey Potter), Joshua Jackson (Pacey Witter) and more.
