Lin-Manuel Miranda Talks "Hamilton," New York And His Influences

The writer and star of Broadway's "Hamilton" stops by "Late Show" to be handsome and charming in every way.

[@Tarotiste]

+mariokarter13 I'd heard that this musical was unusual because it's all hip-hop and rap, except that it really isn't. There are many different styles of songs in this and they're all performed brilliantly. It's very much worth getting the cast album for. Every time I hear "Stay Alive" where Alexander and Eliza are trying to get their son to just hang-on after being shot in a duel... it's heartbreaking. Beautifully sung and acted- all the emotion comes through, even if you're just listening to the cast album and haven't seen it yet. His musical choices and lyrics are really clever.

+Joeballs NO. Arguably the worst president ever. Jackson's political career was built on his many acts of genocide against indigenous peoples during his military service. As president he destroyed the National Bank and replaced it with a handful of "pet" banks run by his cronies and friends. This caused the economic "Panic' of 1837. He was a dictator who ignored the supreme court and the legislature on a regular basis, and simply did as he pleased. Most notably, the supreme court ordered Jackson to stop his military attack on the Cherokees because it violated treaties that our country had signed. He disobeyed, dared the supreme court to raise an army against him and stop him, and then went on to commit horrific atrocities including the Trail of Tears. He was infamous for his recklessness and violent tendencies - he often personally shot his political opponents - and was known to be an especially cruel slaver. He was an evil man - we should have disowned him long ago. We need to take his face of the 20.

[@maureneofarrell7475]

3:25 "He was then famous for having shot.... Homeboy." *I DIED THIS IS SO LIN* xDDDDDDDD

[@ScienceOfDeduction1]

And, as of today, April 18th, Alexander Hamilton is to remain on the ten. Why? Because of LMM and his genius.

[@davekast5136]

False

[@anarchoshaggy-ism3925]

Now they are replacing the dickhead who caused the trail of tears himself, Andrew Jackson. Harriet Tubman deserves to be on the 20 so much more than him. Fuck that guy.

[@steelwall4396]

+Avadno Saile The trail of tears was terrible but don't say that to Andrew Jackson as he'd beat the shit out of you remember this is a man who threw a political burning man after he became president in the white house he also beat the shit out of the first person to attempt to assassinate the president easily one of the most bad ass presidents ever

[@artsy_artist1323]

STEELWALL43 I'd say Teddy Roosevelt was the most badass president ever. The dude was shot mid speech and just stood there, bleeding, until he finished his speech and went to the hospital

[@sendhelp4402]

Avadno Saile Alexander Hamilton is still on the 10 dollars though? Did they change their minds?

[@TheMistyMolly]

"He shot homeboy" 😂

[@jaypao8203]

When you want to watch the live Broadway show, but live in Southeast Asia... 😭😭😭

[@patriciadeleon2986]

I know the feels bro :((

[@AAAdeeno]

JayPao The tickets are sold out for 2 years apparently, so I guess we don't have much of a chance. D':

[@actress5256]

JayPao don't worry it's just as hard in New York

[@berntwaffles]

AAAdeeno Feb. 1st actually has an open spot, but I can't go because I live no where near haha

[@mars9380]

I wanna be in the room where hamilton musical happens😭😭😭

[@ckarchoffice]

4:55 "one of my favourite characters in it is Lafayette-" he's everyone's favourite character, I'm not even kidding.

[@MischyBaby]

Miranda has such a unique way of creating art. I can't wait till I can see Hamilton.

[@doitjamie]

You're going to LOVE IT! It lives up to the hype!

[@violasbeatupviolins]

lin is literally wearing hamilton socks he is so precious

[@elliemorris5260]

"I know all about that! I'm on the cusp of puberty! Man this Phantom guy has got a lot of great ideas!" When you immediately start dying of laughter 😂😂😂

[@lucywomack]

I literally have a playlist called "lin being adorable", and this was added to it within the first 4 seconds

[@JJRush_]

Two epically brilliant people clashing brain cells together!! Geniuses both!!!!

[@brendar9363]

Introduced me to someone new and I loved the guy. Talk about charming. Almost trumps (forgive me) Colbert.

[@artsy_artist1323]

Check out Hamilton! It's absolutely incredible, and has ruined my life.

[@brendar9363]

+artsy_artist132 Why ruined? Should I back away now???

[@IrethEdelstein]

+Brenda R I think they mean in a good way. In a "I can't stop listening to this" and a "Why am I crying over Alexander Hamilton?" kind of way.

[@aeris44]

+Brenda R Lin is an amazing and talented guy!

[@brendar9363]

Uggg. It honestly has taken this long to get Hamilton out of my head and now this thread comes back and ......now I'm back hunting the room where it happened.....:)

[@desert._rose]

he shot "home-boy" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@maggieandgeorge]

"Look under your chairs!" CRUEL

[@ScienceOfDeduction1]

Instead of taking Hamilton off the ten, they should put Lin AS Hamilton on the ten.

[@cpt0118]

Hamilton will stop the treasury from taking down AH from the $10 bill.

[@amayajones68]

+Carlos Perez I agree. I feel Hamilton firmly cements his place on the $10 bill.

[@cpt0118]

+Amaya Jones I just read it was postponed, remember the actual Treasury Sec. saw the musical and many who admire Hamilton processed a petition rejecting this change. The Musical also factored in the postponement.

[@amayajones68]

Carlos Perez That's awesome. A Secretary of Treasury saved by the Secretary of Treasury.

[@revsuki]

i heard they are putting him on the back

[@amayajones68]

+revalette Then who will be on the front?

[@Exceed_HS]

I can’t believe I’m still obsessed with Hamilton.... 😂

[@pabloandthebucketeers698]

It's been like 5 years later and I still want that Aaron Burr sequel

[@BlakieTT]

I loved this interview. It showed off talent from both the host and the guest, without the host constantly interrupting [cough] Fallon. I was also a fan of the videos length. Longer interviews is sweet :>
