OMYGOD your profile pic is hysterical

OK SAME

His face and everything i cracked up so hard

He truly is a genius following in the footsteps of Rogers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein, Jonathan Larson and more.

he is the Shakespeare of our generation

@@manuelorozco7760 Well not as good as Stephen Sondheim but I see your point

Puppet Player Well the only musical i enjoy where Sondheim does both music and lyrics is A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.

@@manuelorozco7760 He doesn't have to do both to prove that he's one of the greatest geniuses

Dreaded Doduo a forgotten spot in the Caribbean, more like!

Dreaded Doduo *Winks dramatically*

I told my friend (who is also a big Hamilfan like me) that I was listening to a musical by Lin Manuel Miranda starring Lin Manuel Miranda as an orphan immigrant from the Caribbean whilst I was listening to In The Heights then we started sending each other the lyrics to Alexander Hamilton until she sent 'What's your name man' and i replied 'I am Usnavi and you've probably never heard my name'

She didn't reply for ages and I'm just sat there thinking 'I've scared her away with my new fandom, haven't I' I saw her at school and asked her why she hadn't replied and she just said she didn't know how to and I'm there like 'XD Yep, I've scared her off with my new fandom haven't I' she likes Hamilton and DEH but she hasn't managed to properly introduce me to DEH yet and I think I failed with ITH but she's still the biggest Hamilfan I know (other than me and about equal to another friend I've got who's actually going to see Hamilton but also knows a few ITH songs) Also, I love your profile picture XD

Yeah, he seems to enjoy playing immigrants from the Caribbean (or the part-time superhero duck child thereof). I think he may be a bit biased in favor of that role. Though I can't quite put my finger on why...

I cracked haha

I just read this as soon he said it

And now they are :)

right!!!

HAHAHAAHAH stay broke

+Bonnie Christilaw tinie children

I knoooooww omg

CHRIS'S HAIR

Bonnie Christilaw and Anthony too!

i was about to comment that lmao

I'm glad to have been a kid back then.

i mean yeah

And the music.

shiftyclogs facts

And 3 years later, one of your dreams are about to come true

Amen! He is a young innovator. And we are bot Hispanic

Proud Puerto Rican (:

He's literally non-stop

Johanna Åstrand I'm excited for Marry Poppins Returns out of everything he has planned for the next few years.

kreiosvasu I'm not excited for that since the animated original Little Mermaid scared me as a kid.

Me ^^

Same here. I'm just glad they filmed it on location and not in Georgia.

Yes, and I'm still wondering why (again) they didn't find a Dominican to play a Dominican character, unless Anthony Ramos has some Dominican roots, which he looks like he could.

Aaaand a year after, a new trailer and I was looking for this commentary hehe

@@MrYakamoneye still waiting my friend 😭

same :D

If I win the the lottery, you'll never see me again... I'LL BE IN LIN'S HOUSEEEEEEEE

If Lin won the lottery he'd pay Donald Trump to build a wall around his house to keep out mobbing fans.

K. M. A. TRUE

ME

+Georgia Lin does not play our first president

OMG I NEVER SAW THE FACE THAT CHRIS MAKES WHEN LIN BEGINS TO RAP UNTIL NOW IT'S PERFECT

Linda Pham yes he does

CHRIS' FACE

He is literally(and I'm using that word correctly) the cutest thing to ever be on this earth.

Okay but have you seen the video of his book report when he was around 8 years old? I died.

Fetus Lin is the best

I guess he was a... LIL MANUEL MIRANDA. Sorry.

Felix Oyola-Rosa I think the fact that he's alive means the same thing as being contemporary.

And I think the fact that he's alive is a miracle. *in Eliza's voice* I'm not sorry~

Please Lin... *Eliza's Voice* Stay Alive...

A Comment like that makes me sad that Christopher Larson died so young. I think he could of still made amazing stories. But he inspired Lin so I always feel that his spirit continues

He's the new Shakespeare

I laughed at then I started to tear up because I know I'll never get to see Hamilton live 😢😭

+Molly Pinks this accurately describes my life

ME NEITHER

hE HAS HAAAIR

me: that guy kinda reminds me of..... =realizes= G E O R G E W A S H I N G M A S H I N E E E E E E E E E E E E E

Hello There me too

So true!

Hello There Check out Lin's IMDB... ;)

They are making an in the heights movie

They are doing that for Hamilton. Not for a while tho

Likeeee..... He's so damn finee with the earrings and alll Even as washington he slayed

@@teeraparson2567 he still fineeee damn😩🤙🏻

+Autumn Kalista I believe he was a college sophomore but that's still pretty incredible.

+Autumn Kalista now, now, it's important to remember: what he did in college was a first draft, which had like 2 songs and it was completely different. He started writing in college, yes, but it took years of refining, rewriting it, and having multiple other talents working on it before finally, years later, we received the definitive version of In the Heights.

+quiroz923 ah I see now. I don't know why I said Highschool...

OH GOD HERE COMES MY CHILDHOOD

not at all

I prefer Hamilton but In the Heights was my teen years

and Vanessa 😍her voice is so powerful

This comment made my day XD

Hello Avocado boy

CaLl Me SoN OnE mOrE tIMe

underrateD

In the Heights isn't considered a favorite of mine but I deeply agree.

isa josh eli hoffman they’re gonna starter fliming an in the Heights movie this spring and a Hamilton movie is confirmed but we’ll have to wait for it

hamildamn ...wait for it... Hehehrhr

aLSO JORDAN FISHER MIGHT PLAY BENNY AND I AM SO HYPE

rorysettos I hope so too. And im excited for him to be Mark in Fox's Rent Live.

Yes, the Benny you see there later become the Founding Father of the United States of America

Here comes the General!

CreamedKitty x this should be fun

+Dreaded Doduo What is the meaning of this?

CreamedKitty x the actor that plays Benny is the same actor that plays Washington in Hamilton (Christopher Jackson)

All of Lin's fanbase" YeS AgAiN

I know you're kidding, But actually he has an amazing explanation for that ;)

@@linndylau What is that explanation??

@@sorrynotsorry6 he said in an interview (a spanish one while Mary Poppins Returns was con theatre) that he always wanted to be into musicals, but it was hard for him to be on broadway because of his "latin origin" X) so he decided he had to solve that by creating his own stories to be part of that world :')

Hamilton was supposed to be Javy but he got cancer right before they started workshopping and off broadway.

me too

i do too omg

DontDoSadness91 it's ruined

why though, making him the caddy puts him down

Where’s the trump lyric???

H. F. Uh...Donald Trump and I on the links, and he’s my caddy?

Thankfully they're changing it for the movie ("Tiger Woods")

Exactly! They're both amazing.

but hamilton is better

That would depend on who's asking ;)

Georgia yep XD

Nastu Dragneel well they are both about immigrants from the Caribbean.. No excuse

Why? If anything it's funny since he's saying that Benny would be richer than trump

There's nothing to regret about that line. Benny's saying he'd be so rich, Donald Trump would be serving him.

Yeah.....

Washington rapping about another future president.

SAME LMFAO I WAS LIKE HOLY SHIT IT'S CHRIS

He does the "crazy hypotheticals" in the all-skate.

Christine Stevenson that’s usnavi not sonny

+kuhio1987 THATS WHAT I SAID

Washington's character was actually based around Chris Jackson's singing and abilities XD

and laurens

no, you're right, Hamilton is Anthony Ramos's Broadway debut. I think he was in a regional ITH production but not the Broadway.

Wait but was 21 Chump Street off Broadway or on Broadway? Lin wrote it and Anthony stars in it

That's Vanessa

This is from so long ago. Like I was 4 when this came out. And oml Chris 😂😂😂

Monsieur Lafayette oh wow i would have been four then too btw love ur profile pic

Monsieur Lafayette ikrrrr

willow love's Gamez&Art I would have been like... 3?

pretty nice detail tho

Liam Carmody Makes me jealous i never got to see him in either role.

+XxCelestiquexX this was actually a few years before Hamilton came out!

Julia Pelletier I know. But since, timeline/historically speaking, the events of Hamilton occurred waaaaaaaaaaaaay before the events of In The Heights, yeah.

+XxCelestiquexX Just think of them as their distant many-times-great-grandchildren

XxCelestiquexX yeah, they somehow became Spanish or Puerto Rican or whatever... 😂

Dreaded Doduo "somehow"? So it isn't possible that they had a parent who was related to ham and a parent that was just Puerto Rican

lmAOOO NOOOOO

+Charlene the Marvelous Chris's eyebrows

Marquis de Lafayette I'm Lin's hat. :^)

I'm his weird chin scruff

I'm "Damn, We only joking stay broke then"

I agree man! I have yet to see Hamilton or Moana but I'm sure I will enjoy them when I get a chance.

He has

lauramartha3 Ive been a fan of Lin since In the Heights. Moana and Mary Poppins Returns have been pleasant remedies of my playful jealousy toward my fellow theatre geeks who have seen Hamilton

Katie Breyman I was 15

how do you feel now, out of curiosity?

+Ta'erica Terrell goddamn conflicted because I love daveed diggs but I still think Chris Jackson should have won and *cries forever*

Emma Mueller hehe will you feel....satisfied??? :)))

Emma Mueller Danny Burnstein at least should have won Featured Actor in a Musical in 08 for South Pacific

pineapplesims ikr

I wish

I agree! They did a reunion concert that's up on KZfaq.

i've seen it its so beautiful X3

Schools doing it at a theatre nearby. We're an arts school so I think we're gonna kick ass on stage

I say amen! In the Heights is such an amazing and beautifully written work of art.

good luck with the lottoooo!

I would honestly save it to pay college

I love your opinion but please. Don't compared Lin's musical artworks. They both deserve better

@@sentrogaspers9813 Can I ask why exactly? I only ask because I generally compare musicals written/composed by other people. I’ve got a favourite Sondheim musical for example but I appreciate all of his works and like to compare them against each other just to study his style and see the similarities and differences. I didn’t mean it in a negative way.

I get it. I also prefer it to Hamilton!

+robin212212 people love it!

11 Tonys WOO and "love" is an understatement xD

This comment feels like the best time capsule 7 years later, now that hamilton is one of the best known shows ever!

A hiphop musical about the secretary of treasury? That will never catch on

Crying rn cause I wish I knew Hamilton during the time this comment was made 😭

they were gonna make Hamilton on tape, but sense all the cast is leaving I think that plan was shelved

abby cyrstal they filmed lins last performance. He left before other cast members.did I believe

Hayley’s Comet In the Heights movie will be released in 2020.

@@abbycyrstal1918 lol well I've got some news for you!

i mean 3 years later and your dream has become true
