Lin-Manuel Miranda is at it again! The HAMILTON creator annouced today via Twitter that his 14-minute musical, 21 CHUMP STREET, written for 'This American Life' can now be licensed through Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization.

21 CHUMP STREET is based on a true story as reported on the 'This American Life' podcast.

The musical centers around a high school honors student who falls for a cute transfer girl and will go to any lengths to get her, including obliging for her request to get hold of marijuana. But, what the student doesn't know is that his dream girl is actually an undercover cop sent to the school specifically looking for drug dealers.

21 CHUMP STREET focuses on conformity and drug use in schools with the hope to spread a message to teenagers that they will keep with them after the show.
