And how he smiles when he finds them in the crowd

Sofi Nencini He's a bundle of joy! You can't help but fall in love with him.

Sofi Nencini Right?? He’s such an angel.

MY FATHER WASN'T AROUND

MY SON

teach me how to say goodbye lin

Oh Lin you outshine the morning sun

You'll blow us all away! (you did)

Who doesn't

I am trying to learn Spanish and his "Spanglish" helps me understand more. Love it!

Same!

Looks like he learned something from Burr ;D lol

Rei Rosalin my reactiob was literally bursting out laughing saying "don't insult my son but that was so funny"

I know, he's so humble- my first thought was: Lin, hon, you had to have known there was virtually 0% chance you weren't going to win Best Score :'D

Same though lmao

I think I might have heard him use that twice before even XD

HAHAHA when Daveed was on Jimmy Fallon I was like"hey, what the heck, he already did this rap from Clipping in another interview!". Aaaand that's when I realized I have a problem

haha same D:

Same xD I cannot get enough of this man in my life right now. He is incredible

I'm in the same boat. I was putting off going to school for acting because I didn't want to do any theatre. But now, I'm actually looking forward to learning the stage. Hamilton inspires on so many levels.

I'm exactly like that but with History. I failed almost every history class in school but I was in choir and vocal ensembles from 5th grade until I graduated and seeing a Broadway in Chicago musical when I was 16 changed my whole world and I've been obsessed since. But this man has somehow made me enjoy learning about history and actually connect emotionally with these people who built our country and in my book that is a miracle lol

EVEN BETTER, A LINAMON ROLL

oh my god XD

TRUE

I hope he comes back

+Akayes212 yea in an interview he said he really is looking forward to tucking his son in at night more than once a week if that isn't adorable

SquiggyAmy Pretty much the best reason to leave.. If he were to continue, he would miss out on a lot of "first"s in his son's life and you don't get those things back. I have a feeling Hamilton will be here for a long time for him to come back to :)

Spanglish!

lol that's what i was gonna say ^ sPANGLISH

Thank you so much! I don't speak spanish

He is a family friend of the Smirls/McElory clan.

And i thought i was so smart

the guy asked what that night means for hispanic community and about the sonnet and Lin says that he didnt know of the events until the rehearsal that morning was over and how he didn't have anything written then and how at the same time that day is a day of celebration after 7 years of work

thank you +Liliana Bautista Garcia

Lin was pretty much being asked about the night's events and how it was like with the tragic news of Orlando and also the great celebration of all the incredible actors and actresses there. Sorry that this is a pretty rough translation! Hopefully someone who is more fluent in Spanish will be able to comment a better translation than me :)

Here you go :) Telemundo: (…) If I could ask you two questions in Spanish, Lin: Of course Telemundo: What does this night mean for you and for our Hispanic community? and the second question is about that beautiful message, that song (sonnet) you wrote for your speech, if you could tell us a bit in Spanish about both things. Lin: Well, I didn’t hear about tonight’s events until we finished rehearsal this morning so I hadn’t written anything for tonight and whilst preparing what I was going to say if I were fortunate enough to come here with this in my hand, tonight’s events were heavy in my heart. Today is a day of tragedy and we have to honor that and the victims of the tragedy. At the same time the same day is a celebration of seven years of work: a cast of actors, the best in the world in my experience, my creative partners without whom this doesn’t exist the show doesn’t exist, and my family, so I tried to honor everybody in this strange day.

Thank you :)

Chloe C The reporter asked him: what does this night means to you and to the Latino/hispano community? My second question is: please Tell us about that beautiful sonnet you recited on your acceptance speech. Lin: I didn't find out about today's events until we finished this mornings rehearsal at the theater. So I hadn't written anything or prepared anything, I also wasn't sure if I was gonna win this prize, I didn't think I'd be this lucky. Today's events are very strong and heavy hitting in my heart, I think we have to honor the victims. At the same time today is a celebration of 7 years of hard work, and a celebration of an amazing group of actors, the best in the world on my opinion and also a celebration of my creative partners without them this wouldn't be possible, this show could not exist, and without my family and my wife, I tried to include everyone. Thank you.

I think that's probably just partly joking haha. At least, the way I took it was that he was emphasizing how he's got plenty of time where he can continue to drop in on the show and it'll be fine. With, say, Usnavi in In the Heights, his age is never technically mentioned but it still works best if the actor playing him is in his 20s (or can pass for 20s) since Vanessa, his love interest, is established to be 19 or 20 and also there's some generational elements to the show. With Hamilton, though, the show covers his life everywhere from ages 19-49, and it's not like there's an actor for "young" Ham and an actor for "older" Ham, so the audience knows they're just meant to go with it and the actor can be anywhere within that age range or a little older. I mean, heck, even Hamilton as a character aside, you have a 20-something guy playing a 9-year-old kid in one song! haha. So it's a lot more lose with the age thing. So nah, he probably won't literally be playing Ham still when he's, like 60/70 years old haha, but he could easily still jump back into the role at any point over the next 20 years or so and it would still be fine, and I think that was what he was getting at :)

i think the tonys are prefilmed

Lily Keene I doubt it

The shooting happened that morning.
