Lin-Manuel Miranda is a theatre kid that never stopped being a theatre kid.
The whole HamilCast is 😂
That’s what Broadway is
Have you seen Crucible Cast Party from when he was on SNL?
I mean, he does work in theatre.
Absolutely correct!
i feel like King george is kinda the Loki of theatre, he’s meant to be the villain but everyone loves him
R I G H T. I thought I was the only one who liked Loki! And I agree with the statement.
@@savedname9959 You are Far From the Only Person who is a big fan of Hamilton
@@JinjaDragon_77 haha I know, where I live, you don't get many hamilfans.
Jazzle•Fazzle BRUH you’d be surprised. Loki has nearly a bigger fan base than Thor and I Stan that slithery little trickster 😂😂😂😂
@@wolffrenzy2778 same!
"Look, look at you! You're dead inside"
I feel like he's directly talking to me
Same
I've never felt so called out xD
for real yeah
Never felt so called out either
Same just same
‘What if you blow the lyrics to your own song? What happens then?’
‘It’s a rewrite.’
god blESS THIS MAN’S SOUL-
I agree with you, Trollian user miniatureMenace! I like the profile pic, is what I'm saying, haha.
Legit read this as they said it I screamed 😂
"It's canon!" lmao
"Those aren't the words!"
" i made the words! If i say those are The words then those are the words!"
Mess up the choreo? Unintentional solo

“WE don’t know American History!”

Who is this Mike Drop you speak of?
@@lizziebooth5397 it's Mike Tyson when he was in Vegas.
Don’t drop Mike. He’s a nice guy
Some info with which to ponder and enlighten. There is an excerpt from an article about the musical that beautifully sums up Lin-Manuel Miranda's reasoning behind that inspiration.
"But history belongs to those who write it, and with the hit Broadway show Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda is rewriting the Founding Father narrative to purposefully reflect the kind of country we live in today. Choosing to cast the founders of our country as people of color may not be “historically” accurate, but it is culturally accurate as a reflection of a 21st century nation built by immigrants. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s version of history suddenly becomes an inclusive one, inviting every American to see his or herself reflected in the story of the Founding Fathers. "

The "ooo" that we Brits make at the affair reference is just appreciating the scandalous nature of it. Plus its a theatre, we react for show.
Reminds me of how British audiences might have reacted to all the innuendos and cheeky references in Shakespeare’s plays.
@cannotthinkofaname we don't actually see it as that scandalous. Of course it isn't mundane but not that surprising. the reason is because in British pantomine, they overact a lot and the audience comedically goes oooh, its kinda tradition now and that itself is funny to us so i'm guessing we just automaticalluy do it now and it makes us laugh. Also makng fun of the royal family, thats fucking funny to us, we all do it everyday, keeps us thinking they are normal people and so makes what they do normal as well
@@MC-jr1bs Divorce stats are up here as well but you seem to be implying that divorce means someone cheated on another person, which I would argue isn't necessarily the case.
I would disagree that it isn't scandalous. Its something that would get a politician in trouble and would be seen as a scandal. Also in our version of DWTS, Strictly Come Dancing there was furore over one of the contestants simply snogging his dance partner whilst both were in relationships.
If we can agree that something is a scandal that is morally wrong. Could we agree that cheating on someone is also morally wrong, regardless of how common it is?
Also, I've got the soundtrack and heard it in this video and didn't react even though I'm British so I think part of it as much as anything is to do with in British theatres we play along more, we have more fun in a theatre if we play along in pantomimes as well as other plays and musicals.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater... remember, a special hell - Shepherd Book, Firefly
@@BioshockChar "The Bible says "Thou shalt not kill". It's a bit fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."
My friend saw Hamilton in London and the people next to her said
“OMG I wonder if this is a true story?”
And the guy next to the women who said this said
“OMG yeah it would be crazy if it was real!”
Before watching the musical, I didn't know hamilton was a real persons until my friends spoke about him
EH
I’m gonna keep my reply as your username
EHH?!
LOL I live in America and I’m my school,I learned about him I’m 4th grade and since my teacher was like IN HER 20s she sucked at teaching.So I thought he wasn’t real when I watched the show and I literally LEARN AMERICAN HISTROY SINCE IM IN AMERICA
@@wonder052 yall i---
Your Average New Yorker Uhhh...were the people British or American?
“we don’t know about american history.”
“WE DONT KNOW EITHER!!!!!”
Lol we really dont all we know is george Washington was loved by everyone the end
I'm American and I don't know shit
@@Stxph.08 Washingdad is the best. And Lexi. And Baguette. They were loved by everyone. Jeffershit though? Nawwwww.
LamsShipper 4Life now, what did Jefferson ever do? Compared to Hamilton, he was great. Hamilton abandoned Lafayette, created a centralized system that let John Adams wreak havoc, and Jefferson tried to honour promises!
@@placeholder8768 //clears throat// Thomas Jefferson was a rapist, a cheater, a liar, a hypocrite, sexist, a pedophile, and he was against slavery but randomly changed his mind. Sorry if this comes twice, my CZcams doesn't always show stuff.
I love that Stephen let Lin speak at length without interjection and then just chimed in with a lovely remark at the end. Good interview!
Kirsten S. It seems like Stephen is better with certain guests. Lin being one of them.
Wah Tong Absolutely, they are sort of on the same wavelength. I feel like if that was me I would be exhausted after one minute haha
certainly Colbert is a better interviewer than Fallon, Kimmel, and Conan. seems like he really cares about the guest expressing themselves rather than trying to make a joke from it
tokenasian1 Colbert doesn't do well with certain guests, like from other stand up comedians. Especially the more "edgy" ones. Like Bill Burr or Jim Jefferies. Almost like...Colbert is more afraid of the CBS execs.
@@tokenasian1 He sometimes interrupts and moves on while guests are about to, or even in the middle of, saying something that I'm really interested in hearing. Bugs me.
The best will always be Johnny Carson, IMO. He knew when to step back and get out of the guests way, and when to help them along.
I could watch 3 hours of Lin-Manuel just talking about anything.
I just want to be hugged by him at all times.
@@mikayocc same
BelR13 Lins episode of Drunk History is by far my favorite episode. He is so lovely and charming
Agree!

In a way, Hamilton did come back to the Caribbean......
DAMMIT I SWORE NO MORE HAMILTON TEARS
STAHP-
My history loving brain loves the perfect closing of the story
Man when he read those Bourdain tweets I immediately started crying. I fucking love Lin
Yep... he's one of our finest jewels.🥰
Love from Puerto Rico...❤️🇵🇷❤️🇵🇷❤️
To this kind of men the door of the hall of fame are Open day at night, the humble make a greatest person.
Hamilton: “I’m keeping her bed warm while her husband is away.”
Brits: “Ooooooo saucy!!”
Hi, a brit who's never seen the show, i giggled, not gonna lie, and i dont know why. Its not that the line is 'saucy' per say, but that its the kind of thing not mentioned in society. If you're cheating, you keep it quiet.
this is my name yeah but apparently Hamilton didn’t quite care about that rule, went ahead and published the Reynolds pamphlets.... downhill my friend
I think the same thing might happen in Australia to be honest
when he said the line i giggled (i’m a middle class english girl lmao) we can’t help it
Lacey cheers from overseas!
3:58 "It's a rewrite."
LIKE. A. BOSS.
"It's canon!"
I M P R O V
Thea Goulas lady filming in the 4th row please stop it
I saw Hamilton in London earlier this year and I can absolutely confirm that everyone laughed at the Aaron Burr line
I'm going in January, thanks for the warning so I won't get distracted!
I've never been lucky enough to see it, but I did go "oooh" to myself at that line!
US audiences didn't react because the country is still very conservative when it comes to sex.
(They all went "ooooohhhhh" in private when they got home though.
#truestory)
I laughed as he said it- but then I am a Londoner 😂
I can also imagine the actor delivering the line just a little differently that makes it titillating.
lin: *"look, yOU'RE DEAD INSIDE"*
I FELT THAT
I just needed to see a reply cuz there werent any
Hope you’re doing okay hon, if you need someone to talk to I’m here❤️❤️
Same 😭
When Lin said "Took up a collection".... I immediately said in my head "just to send him to the main land"
Lauren Poland yaaassss!!!!!
yess!
Yup. Yup yup yup yup yup.
YES SAME
Get your education don't forget from where you came AND THE WORLDS GONNA KNOW YOUR NAME
"It's a rewrite!" Lin is so funny, we need to protect him at all costs.
Omg yes I share this sentiment entirely
We must protect the Linnamon bun
(for those of you who don't know, that's what Lin's complete fanatics who are obsessed call him. Don't judge)
@@endlesshalcyon I thought it was "Linnamon Roll"
@@jdprettynails, either one works. Same thing with cinnamon roll or cinnamon bun. Depends on which you prefer.
@@endlesshalcyon well....where I'm from we call them cinnamon swirls.
*whispers* “it’s a rewrite”
3:50
I yelled at that! So funny
It’s a rewrite the stars but now its rewrite the lin
I chocked
Amanda Kurukulasuriya I read that the second he said that
Hamilton in the US: *Wild Applause* Bravo! Bravissimo!
Hamilton in the UK: *YOU'LL BE BACK.*
I THOUGHT WE MADE AN ARRANGEMENT WHEN YOU WENT AWAY
In all seriousness though I massively appreciate that Miranda made it America vs George III rather than America vs Britain. Parliament had little say back then and he even mentions in What Comes Next that they didn’t support the war.
LIKE BEFORE. I WILL FIGHT THE FIGHT AND WIN THE WAR. FOR YOUR LOVE...
FOR YOUR PRAISE AND I'LL LOVE YOU TIL MY DYING DAYS!!!
OCEANS RISE! EMPIRES FALL!
WE HAVE SEEN EACH OTHER THROUGH IT ALL
BUT WHEN PUSH, COMES TO SHOVE
I WILL KILL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, TO REMIND YOU OF. MY. LOVE!

"Great seeing you!"
"It's so good to be seen..."
big mood
I like your userpic
Love the profile pic
Still a big mood.
big mood now more than ever
OMG I hated that Stephen missed that little joke
He’s literally called “Mad King George” over here, so not much reaction to him being disrespected, no.
Hence the line in the song "You'll be back"..."When you're gone, I'll go mad."
He was already mad though, he was mad throughout life
@zipZIP "Most respected"? From what I've seen that applies to either Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Victoria or Queen Elizabeth II.
zipZIP idk about that, I’m not sure if you’re British but have you seen horrible histories? The bits with George III on are always taking the piss out of him lol
R S
I think American got ruled by Him so that’s why you guys are calling him Mad King George ok I get it now.
We mock king George over here as well, he's known as the mad king
@@MC-jr1bs
That's why in one of the songs his character says "When you're gone, I'll go mad." that is literally what happened after the American Revolution.
@@MC-jr1bs genuinely, look up "horrible histories" (It's a children's education show but very amusing) and king George, and they're blatantly making fun of him. And my entire generation in the UK watched this show
Rhiannon Andrasko was gonna comment this
Mad as a hatter:3
There's literally a play going at the moment called "The madness of George III" lmao
lin: "look at you your dead inside"
me: *staring blankly at my laptop*
I felt like he was calling me out 😆
Same😂😂😂
Lin hangs up the blouse after his last performance of Alexander.
Puerto Rico: You'll be back.
😂
ahahahahahaha
Hahahaha I love that 😂😂
I believe Hamilton's exact quote was, "This is the wettest hurricane from the standpoint of water." Truly moving words.
Ryan Lippert Lmaoo
LOL
👏🏾🤣
Trump said that
When I saw that I was like gknnhg cause that’s how I laugh when I see something that hilarious.
I'm going to see Hamilton in London next week and I'm so ready to embarrass my entire family by saying "OOOOOOOOO" during wait for it
You're going to love it! I went in Los Angeles. Enjoy every second because it goes by quickly. (Ps there's a surprise that isn't included in the soundtrack ;) )
Did you see it?? How was it?
How embarrassed where they
First Last oh no not the surprise I’m thinking of _cries in corner_
First Last Laurens?
Burr: talk less, smile more
Lin: BE QUIET IM TALKING
"We don't know American history!" True. In a history textbook for a class that I took this past year, it mentioned Hamilton wrote the Reynolds Pamphlet, and I was like "what's that?" and no one knew. A musical taught me more about America than a textbook did. Thank you Lin-Manuel Miranda!
My son has been homeschooled his whole school career. But my mistake is that I went with the charter school’s curriculum out of pressure from the school. With the current affairs of the country and after my son saw Hamilton (thanks to the education program through his amazing charter school’s new principal), I’ve realized how lacking he is in his early American history knowledge. And that changes NOW.
Wtf do you mean the musical taught you more than the textbook?! You literally just said that the book referred to the Reynolds Pamphlet! Maybe you should have actually paid attention to what you were reading.
This musical is not 100% accurate but then again, I'm more interested in trying to make it accurate 😬
@@RavenclawStudent123 No, it's not and that's important to keep in mind. At the same time we wouldn't be talking about this in the first place if it didn't exist. My general view is that accuracy in historically based works of entertainment is of secondary importance to getting people to talk about that history in the first place. If people just want to learn accurate history then they can go watch documentaries, dang it.
And now I hear that theme from that famous Ken Burns documentary playing in my head...
@@dildoniusall she said was that it was mentioned in the textbook. If it wasn't explained in the textbook, she wouldn't be able to read about it from the textbook
"It's a rewrite" I need that in a shirt

Anyone else straight up burst into tears over that "stay put, you, tug if you need anything"?
KTGetc sure did!!
Yesss
Instant!
Yup.
yep
Don't worry, Lin. We call him “Mad King George”, so you're good.
I’ve been watching him jumping around like a giraffe on HH since I could understand what a giraffe Washington
“What happens if you tank your own lyrics?”
“It’s a rewrite”
😂😂😂
honestly i relate soooo much im writing a musical if i tank "thats how it should be audience!"
i saw hamilton in london about a month ago. my biggest fear going in was that i was so used to the original cast's voices, especially lin's, from listening to the soundtrack for more than two years. as soon as each person opened their mouths, all those worries flew out of the window and never came back. they were so fantastic!! i honestly immediately fell in love with jamael westman (who plays hamilton). if you have a chance to see it, don't be scared it won't compare. the west end company are phenomenal.
i know right?! we /need/ a west end recording asap!!
The Philosopher's Phone it just feels uncomfortable because you never heard them as much singing one of your loved songs, and you’re so used to the original cast.I only watched the original cast recordings so im still feeling weird because I watch so many videos about the original cast...
I bet whoever chooses who gets the role is really good and chooses the most talented and near vocal range one so i’m not too worried qwq
that's so nice to hear. I'm from Greece and I'll go to London in June to see Hamilton and I was so worried I'd keep comparing them to the original, especially since I've also seen a bootleg from the Broadway one :/
that's so good to hear. I'm from Greece and I'm going to London in June to see Hamilton and i was afraid I'll just be comparing the cast to the original all the time. Thanks for the reassurance.
I so agree with you. I saw Hamilton two weeks ago in London and it blew me away. Folks, don't be worried. Those guys were amazing!
*"I need that book."*
Don't we all?
maite herasme I need Lin
I preordered it as SOON as I heard about it. I got it a little less than a week ago. It is amazing
I need that shirt!
@@slasherchild5871 Wow, I'm so jealous!😭😭😭
“The real villain is George the third” “he’s everyone’s favorite” WEL IF YOU CAST JONATHON GROFF AS KIMG GEORGE HES GONNA BE OUR FAVORITE
"I've very rarely tweeted in my sleep" wait... Has he tweeted in his sleep before???
Oh you don't tweet in your sleep?
You don't? Freak.
“The hug you need, you give to somebody else.” That is such a sweet sentiment
That's why I like Stephen, he's so genuine
when he said "Took up a collection" i said "JUST TO GET HIM TO THE MAINLAND"
oh, we all did. We all did,
Without hesitation.
Get your education, don't forget from whence you came

people wonder why i hug so much
I read this comment just as he said it
Gonna need to keep this in mind
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaawwww 😢
“It’s canon” OMG
I’m British actually expected the interview’s audience to do the “ooo” !
The “ooo” is more like something cheeky and funny that the guy would be admitting it and so cocky about it.
Yeah when I first saw I laughed aswell Im from scotland and my exact reaction was something along the lines of “oooooo ya wee dirty😂”
I'm from America I saw it in Chicago, and like, so what's the deal? Are Americans just so open and sexual or is it some other cultural thing lol
@@hardlyhere9348 if anything it's the opposite - Brits are really open about sex but just find it funny.
It's why we have so many shows based around sex that probably wouldn't air in the US (like Naked Attraction 😂)
hardly here it’s more about the fact that he’s having an affair and ruining a marriage than the sex.
What about “say no to this” that must’ve been shocking Lol
*"the hug you need, you give to somebody else"*

Exactly. He’s such a prolific writer that he can improvise on the fly. Imagine he wrote 55 songs for that musical. That’s Shakespearen
@@themachine8009 ho ho ho, Don't overdo it Hun, call me back when he's written and produced 37 plays. He's good but he's only getting started.
Lou, he's both composed and written lyrics for 3 Broadway musicals and one film, reinterpreted lyrics for another Broadway musical, in addition to acting, and writing additional songs for projects as varied as SNL, Sesame Street, awards shows, and House.

He also does small adorably sweet things for his favorite podcast. Like... have you ever noticed his weird hand tic on Tv? It’s a giant long running inside joke.
I could legitimately watch Lin-Manuel Miranda reading the entire cover to cover dictionary and not get bored
he'd probably rap it
YES PLEASE 🙌
Is no one gonna mention Lin’s shirt “Mr. Write” it’s so accurate lol
I was so searching for a comment like this!!!
I loved it. :D
over 200 comments until someone mentioned it, it's a crime
What a lovely man to listen to when things are so bleak.
carole you are so right, and I'm sorry for you, if you are in the US :(
Thank you, Kasper.
I adore him. Everything went right with him and his family.
Check out his "Drunk History" 2 parter episode if you really want to smile. The guy is a national treasure.
*Moment of panic* "its a rewrite"
I died 😂😂
My history teacher sings Hamilton every day and it's amazing.
*excuse me, that's the greatest thing ever*
Grila's gacha stories I agree
Also I want that to happen
"Checks knots, there stay put you, goodnight, you are so loved and we like having you around" . . . Lin-Manuel making me cry at 9:30 in the morning . . .
There are kids in high schools all over America like Lin-Manuel Miranda. It's great to see such a perfect musical-theater nerd getting so much love.
As an old, crotchety man who is not a musical/play/anythingtodowithBroadway fan at all, I think this guy really is a genius. Hamilton was genuinely one of the most wonderful things I have ever seen.
That's exactly what makes it so great; you can *tell* he put his heart and soul into every little detail. He made sure Hamilton could speak to everyone, even if it was just one part of the musical.
Doesn't hurt that he's genuinely an awesome, nice, and funny dude.
Yeah true greatness always transcends. Tiger Woods, Micheal Jordan, Mozart, Pele, Stephen Hawking, Einstein, greats cross over to popular culture.
I love hearing Lin talk about his book. He’s such a pure, positive ray of sunshine. 😊
3:58 "It's a rewrite."
J.K Rowling is taking notes
I’m a Londoner and have seen Hamilton here- the audience loved it. The King George scenes had us in stitches. Lin is a genius, I saw him performing in ‘In the Heights’ many moons ago, I was blown away and he continues to astound me.
"People took up a collection..."
...Just to send him to the mainland?
GET YOUR EDGUCATION!
don't forget from whence you came. And the world's gonna know your name what's your name man?!
Jelly Star Alexander Hamilton
"My name is Alexander Hamilton...My name is Alexander Hamilton,and theres a millions I haven't dont just you wait,just you wait..."

“It’s good to be seen”
This man is a national treasure and we need to protect him at all costs
"see, you're all dead inside"
Being called out by Lin, it was an honour
What a fantastic interview. Didn't realize that 10 mins went by so quickly and wanted to hear more. Lin is an amazing human being.
Same. Had to check to confirm that the video was ending when Colbert offered the handshake.
That "tug" tweet is actually my favorite tweet of his. It was my instant way of cheering up. I did not realize that he wrote that in passing of Bourdain.
i remember him posting that one on Twitter
I loved that one. And I saw so much love on that thread. People tugging and people sending them love right back.
I just shed a tear while he read that, maybe it resonated to much
"The hug you need, you give to somebody else."
As someone who's done this for years, it works.
'They sent him to America to become a doctor and then come back...he never went back' Why am I laughing so hard at this XD
I’ve never seen him interviewed before. What a sweetheart he seems. It’s good to see a young man in love with words ... they’re so much less fashionable than images are in these days of instasnap everything.
I've watched many of his interviews. He might be the most positive and enthusiastic human alive.
Also he always seems super humble and down to earth, so is a pleasure hear him.
You should check out James Cordon's Broadway carpool karaoke with him. I think that was actually the first thing I watched with him 'speaking' (a tiny bit ) that triggered a marathon CZcams-watch-all-his-interviews stint. And I'm not a huge carpool karaoke fan (I mean, it's cool; but I've only seen a few... I've probably watched that single one more than all others combined!); I'm not really a 'celebrity' person generally, but he just comes across as someone you'd like to know & have great conversations with - anywhere I've seen him speak, from PR hurricane fundraising to actual sit down interviews, he always seems the same. (I've not really seen them all! 😉)
I' think I'll now follow him on twitter & hope for some beautiful 'twitter poetry' like that - he even makes friends that way! What amazing departure from 'twitter norm' in every way!
As a linguist (& younger than he is), I also appreciate his artistic, somehow soothing vocabulary. I can also assure you I know many young philologists - not a dying breed. ☺
,
(And for the love of words, may I recommend Alexander McCall Smith's '44 Scotland Street' & 'The Sunday Philosophy Club'/ Isabel Dalhousie series. He is a man who makes words dance on the page. Also, Jasper Fforde's 'Thursday Nsxt' series - a completely different kind of wordsmith, absolutely in a league of his own.)
THE SWEATER IS PURE FASHION PLEASE
Honestly, not knowing American history is almost a plus going in to the musical. No spoilers. I remember the first time I heard Guns & Ships, I was getting hyped for who was about to be introduced, expecting it to be Hamilton. When 'Lafayette' was sung, I literally shouted 'who the f is THAT?! It should be Hamilton!'. Which I've since been told is likely a direct quote from Alexander Hamilton.
The song says "Favourite fighting Frenchman" and you thought of Hamilton? Last time I checked he wasn't French
As I said, I know next to nothing about American history and absolutely nothing about Hamilton or Lafayette. I knew Hamilton was from the Caribbean but when they said 'favourite fighting frenchman', I just kind of assumed they meant 'French-Caribbean'. Not like there aren't a lot of people of french descent in the Caribbean.
Omg me toooooo
??? I'm American, I know absolutely NOTHING about American History, I had no idea who Lafayette or Hamilton was but I didn't get confused about that. I knew it was someone different - mainly because he was introduced in My Shot, like Mulligan and Laurens.
@@britney951 Exactly.
I'm British, just watched Hamilton on Disney+ and i thought it was absolutely incredible. We really do love it when you take the piss and we deserve it! We were sending red coats left, right & center to invade. British aristocracy was full of corrupt, spoiled children with too much power...wait i don't think much has changed...
We take the piss out of everything so it’s funny to us lol
You keep saying 'we' but those events happened hundreds of years ago so the current British population have nothing to do with it.
Charlotte well it’s sort of like using we to refer to us as a nation
@@wrenclark4907 Exaclty, i was just about to say that (:
Well it was much more the red coats, we had no voice in parliament and as a subject of England we thought we ought too. We never wanted to leave in the start.. then soliders could go into our houses and eat our food whenever they wanted, high taxes on stamps and goods like tea (Hot and cold tea is popular in the USA still) so we left..
"G'Morning, G'Night!" was given to me as a gift a few months ago. I started reading a few pages every night before bed to relax and get ready to sleep. I've read it three times now and it's just as sweet as the first time through.
I just love the way Lin talks. The way he articulates his words is so satisfying.
It's an actor thing. All actors do it, even the fledglings.
Lin looks pretty good with short hair, but I'm missing his Hamilton Hair
Me too. I don't think I will ever get used to him with short hair.
I havent read his book, but just his morning and night tweets mean a lot to me. I started following him on twitter around the time my mother got admitted to the hospital. I spent the first few nights in the room with her, and right before I went to sleep I would read his good night tweet. When I woke up, I would read his good morning tweet. They made me feel so safe and comfortable. Like everything was going to be fine.
"Gmorning, STUNNER
The skies are grey
& might open up in a bit
but I care not a whit
Cuz you’re HERE"
Thank you, Lin, for making that very difficult time a little easier.
Lin is such a cinnamon roll and a blessing to everyone in this planet. He is literally my inspiration for everything. I constantly ask myself, “what would Lin do?” Or, “Would Lin be proud of me?” He’s the only moral compass I’ll ever need. He makes everyone feel loved and wanted, and his beautiful words leave permanent impact
I love hearing his voice get kind of sing songy especially when he's talking fast. It's like the man oozes music and rhythm
I know! It's adorable 😍
Lin Manuel is such an awesome guy and super talented
oh😮? ..and how so?
Agreed. And I love your Ansel Elgort thumbnail, Baby Driver!
I know, he's an awsome person, i wish i could meet him in the future
"Get your education, don't forget from where came..."
I guess Hamilton must've forgot.
I love the fact that I can sing every song from Hamilton word for word but lin (who wrote it) had forgotten it 😂😂
Part of the reason for that is that you have always heard the same version. but when Lynn hears it he's also trying to sort through all the previous drafts that led up to the final version and is partly trying to remember which version ended up as the final.
LOL I was using the dictate function and forgot to make sure that the system spelled LIN correctly!!!
Sameeee
Big mood
Where do I even start?
I could listen to Lin talk all day long. He is honestly one of the sweetest and purest people out there in this nasty world we currently live in. It truly is an honour to be living in a time where a genius such as he roams the world at the same time as I.
I have loved every creation of Lins and was very fortunate enough to see Hamilton in London a month ago, it was everything I ever dreamed it could be and more! I will continue to look forward to new works from him in the coming future and look forward to ‘what comes next’ in this beautiful career he has created for himself.
You be you Lin, you’re rocking it!
Siempre,
Lauren.
God I wish I could sit down with Lin Manuel Miranda and just talk music theory for like an hour then rock out to some musicals. He is my hero, the one who told me through Hamilton that anything is possible and that’s why I’m going to University to study and grow as a music composer.
Vickie Norgrove Good for you!
Way to go Vickie! Can I get a couple VIP passes for the Broadway hit I hope you're going to write some time in the future? 📝🎼😀
I know almost zero about music but I would be happy to listen to him talk about it for an hour too!
Vickie, come to Porters on a Thursday
Oh that's awesome!! Congrats
I finally got to see Hamilton, via Disney+. I absolutely loved it. I wish I could’ve seen it live. Bravo 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"The more personal I go, the more someone else responds to it." - Lin Manuel Miranda
"Within the particular is contained the universal." - James Joyce
One of the only celebrities who not only hasnt changed, but deserves every penny he's made. Hope to see even more of him
Lin Manuel Miranda is the purest thing in this world, he's such an inspiration of a person, we should all try to be a little bit like him ♥️
Salim Doodles yup and he's hispanic
Our sweet Linnamon-Roll
He's my idol
I only know him from House, but I love him.
Quick correction: At around 4:51, Lin says that Alexander Hamilton's cousin offered financial assistance to get him to New York, which is partially true. However Lin said the cousin was "Rachel Faucette," which is actually the name of Hamilton's deceased mother. The cousin who helps Alexander was Rachel's niece, Ann Lytton Venton.
When he put up the photo and the first thing lin comments is his wife, i mean how cute
I feel like when Hamilton has it's final show on Broadway the entire original cast will come back and do it ' One Last Time'. Can we get a petition for that.
When would that be though...in 20 years at least? Can the stage fit that many people?
Athul Nair original cast
They did that with RENT.
Honestly... this show is gonna run for an extremely long time. Decades. Will probably be the longest continually running show in Broadway history when all is said and done.
I’m in my mid 30s, and if I live a full life into my 80s, it honestly would not shock me if Hamilton is still on Broadway (on its 45th cast but still from its original run) the day I pass.
Audiobook for this read by Lin? Yes?
It exists, in Audible.
Everything exists in Audible
Somebody should jump on it ASAP
@@kativallius-karkkola8046 read by lin? Really?
Kati Vallius I got this for Christmas and it is beautiful, I kind of want the paper version too though
"It's good to be seen," WHY DID HE SAY THAT SO ADORABLY I-
The video barely started and I'm already screaming.
Ok but why is he just pure sweetness? What did we do to deserve Lin-Manuel Miranda?
In the Heights, Hamilton, I think those alone qualify him as the Shakespeare of our time.
I honestly can not disagree. I feel like he is possibly better 😍
Deadass
What words has he invented
geoff mcclelland Shakespeare didn’t really invent any words. He added unusual prefixes or suffixes to already existing words, or slightly altered existing words.
For example, he is credited with Lonely, using -ly instead of -some in the usual lonesome how many would use for heavenly.
He mainly did this because ly was often the proper stress for his pentameter scheme, and Un- as a prefix was used by Shakespeare a lot to alter existing words to fit his schemes.
But as far as inventing completely unique never before seen words, no. They’re all existing words with a slight twist.
Same as a regular joe saying “Yeah the line was slowish.”
Not inventing a word, slanging an already existing word.
F. N. Lorter yep
The world needs more Lin Manuel Mirandas.
There's just one :"3
I know right :(
Love this dude, he makes all Latinos proud! He is of Puerto Rican descent by the way....
he’s so expressive, so sweet, and talented. this mans such an angel and deserves so much more success and praise!
"It's good to be seen" 😅
jbl I wanna like but I REALLY dont wanna ruin the perfect 666...
I made it 777
Finally I can ACTUALLY afford something that Lin Manuel Miranda created
I'm praying he will go on a book tour..
I was able to buy the DVD of Moana....I don't think I'll ever get to see Hamilton unless they make a movie of it.
YOUR USERNAME AND ICON OMFG IM DEAD
@@jdprettynails MOVIE ANNOUNCED TODAY!
@@jordankch Yes! I'm super excited!!
jdprettynails

Disney films: we have the best villains
King George: hold my cane
edit:i forgot i wrote this
But it's on Disney so.... Technically still true! Lol
I now view King George as a Disney Princess 😂
@@SmileyFaces114 hell yeah
But king george is like one of the best characters
#groffsauce
King George needs to be an official Disney Princess and I'm rioting if he isn't
He's always so enthusiastic about everything.
I saw Hamilton in London this last spring, and it was magical and beautiful and perfect. And a lot of self depreciating laughter at George III. Because obviously.
Undeniable proof that Lin-Manuel Miranda is the best human being
"We don't know American history"
We don't know it either
...Pretty much...
... i didn’t get it when Lin said that?!
i’m from the UK 🇬🇧 + we are mostly just taught about our _own_ political histories (Tudors, WW1 WW2 etc)
fla la he means that, we don’t really know our own history because it was the past- and no ones here to prove some of the facts, but papers from 1700s-1800s can prove some.
Who else just realized that Reprise isn’t actually pronounced like “re- prize”??
yea it’s pronounced “re-preeze”
*my musical life has been a lie*
Not me. Always heard and pronounced it as re-preeze. (I'm American, living in U.S.)
@@nalir3828 i, also american and living in the u.s., have pronounced it as "re-prize" up until 17 seconds ago, when i read the comment
My life is a lie
