VIDEO: HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda Talks Puerto Rico's Financial Crisis on 'ALL IN'

HAMILTON creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda is continuing his crusade to bring awareness to Puerto Rico's financial crisis. He appeared on tonight's ALL IN WITH CHRIS HAYES on MSNBC to talk about the "very real and tangible" suffering of the island. Watch a clip from the interview below!

On March 15th this year, Miranda delivered an impassioned speech at a Capitol Hill press conference, where he urged congress to pass legislation restructuring Puerto Rico's $72 billion debt. Also last month, he wrote an op-ed piece in The New York Times as "plea for relief for Puerto Rico." And just a few days ago, the Broadway icon tackled the debt crisis with a rap on John Oliver's LAST WEEK TONIGHT.

Puerto Rico's economic fortunes were severely hampered in 1996 when congress ended tax laws that aided the U.S. territory's economic development, resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs.

Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for the musical IN THE HEIGHTS, which opened on Broadway at the Richard RodgersTheatre in March 2008. His written work for the show earned him numerous accolades, including the 2008 Tony Award for Best Original Score and the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Miranda's performance in the show's lead role of 'Usnavi' earned him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical.

Miranda is currently performing on Broadway in the lead role of Alexander Hamilton in HAMILTON. He is a 2015 recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Award. His musical HAMILTON is the recipient of the 2016 Edward KENNEDY Prize for Drama and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
