HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda appeared on this morning's GOOD MORNING AMERICA to talk about the new educational program #eduHam. "This particular crop that we saw today, I mean I wanted to buy half of those singles!" he says of some of the 20,000 high school students who came to see and perform at the hit hip-hop musical.
Asked about the possibility that Hamilton will come to the big screen at some point, the multiple Tony nominee says, "Later! Honesty I don't know how much later but I worked seven years to make this thing a piece of theater so I would love for as many people as possible to experience it as a piece of theater first, and I'm in no rush." Watch the interview in full below!
