Lin-Manuel Miranda stopped by last night's Jimmy Kimmel LIVE and participated in a game of "On the Money," where pedestrians had the chance to win cash if they knew which historical figures appear on U.S. currency. (Miranda's appearance begins at approximately the 3 minute mark.) Later, (approx. 12:47 mark), the Tony Award winner discusses his Broadway hit musical HAMILTON and Disney's upcoming animated musical film MOANA. Watch the appearance in full below!

Miranda will soon begin filming MARY POPPINS for Disney, opposite Emily Blunt. He recently composed original music for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, and his original music will be featured in Disney's upcoming animated film MOANA.

Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for the musical In the Heights, which opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre 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.

This year, Miranda received multiple TONY AWARDS for his work on HAMILTON. He is a 2015 recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Award, and received the 2016 Edward Kennedy Prize for Drama.
