“My only responsibility as a playwright and a storyteller is to give you the time…” — Lin-Manuel Miranda

I grew up in an immigrant neighborhood. We just knew the rule was you're going to have to work twice as hard.

We've had characters like Trump in American politics forever, characters who trade on xenophobia.

The music you love when you're a teenager is always going to be the most important to you, and I find that it's all over the score of 'Hamilton.'

In 'Hamilton,' we're telling the stories of old, dead white men, but we're using actors of color, and that makes the story more immediate and more accessible to a contemporary audience.
