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!

HAMILTON opened on August 6, 2015 at Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre. The cast of Hamilton is comprised of Lin-Manuel Miranda (Alexander Hamilton), Daveed Diggs(Marquis De Lafayette,Thomas Jefferson), Renée Elise Goldsberry (Angelica Schuyler),Christopher Jackson (George Washington), Rory O'Malley (King George), Jasmine Cephas Jones (Peggy Schuyler, Maria Reynolds), Javier Muñoz (Hamilton alternate), Okieriete Onaodowan(Hercules Mulligan, James Madison), Leslie Odom, Jr. (Aaron Burr),Anthony Ramos(John Laurens, PhilipHamilton) and Phillipa Soo (Eliza Hamilton).
