Lin-Manuel Miranda is a theatre kid that never stopped being a theatre kid.

i feel like King george is kinda the Loki of theatre, he’s meant to be the villain but everyone loves him

[FatimaKhan-uyid]

"Look, look at you! You're dead inside"
I feel like he's directly talking to me

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!

I believe Hamilton's exact quote was, "This is the wettest hurricane from the standpoint of water." Truly moving words.

‘What if you blow the lyrics to your own song? What happens then?’

‘It’s a rewrite.’

3:58 "It's a rewrite."
LIKE. A. BOSS.

He’s literally called “Mad King George” over here, so not much reaction to him being disrespected, no.

When Lin said "Took up a collection".... I immediately said in my head "just to send him to the main land"

[brookewise]

"It's a rewrite!" Lin is so funny, we need to protect him at all costs.

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!”

[KatieVanHelsing]

“We don’t know American History.”
“WE don’t know American History!”
*Mike Drop of Truth*

“we don’t know about american history.”
“WE DONT KNOW

I could watch 3 hours of Lin-Manuel just talking about anything.

In a way, Hamilton did come back to the

DAMMIT I SWORE NO MORE HAMILTON TEARS

[Rhi.Andr]

We mock king George over here as well, he's known as the mad king

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.
