Corrección Letra Fresh Air: Lin-Manuel Miranda Interview par Lin-Manuel Miranda

Regreso

Letra

This is Fresh Air. I'm Terry Gross. My guest, Lin-Manuel Miranda, created the hip-hop musical Hamilton, the Broadway phenomenon about the Founding Fathers. He wrote the book, music and lyrics and starred as Alexander Hamilton in the original production. If you haven't been able to see it onstage or were hoping to see it again, starting this Friday, July 3, you can see a filmed version of the original Broadway production shot in June 2016. It will be streaming on Disney+. The film was supposed to be released in theaters in October 2021. But it was pushed up becausе of the pandemic. After all, who knows whеn theaters will fully reopen? And we all need good things to watch now.

Hamilton set records for ticket sales. It just passed a billion dollars in global revenue. It won 11 Tonys, a Pulitzer Prize for drama. And the cast recording won a Grammy. Miranda's first musical, In The Heights, has been adapted into a film. But because of the pandemic, its release has been postponed. Miranda is in the process of directing his first film, an adaptation of Tick, Tick... Boom, the first musical by Jonathan Larson, who became posthumously famous for his musical Rent. Production was halted on that because of the pandemic. A doc*mentary about the improv music group that Miranda co-founded in 2005, Freestyle Love Supreme, will start streaming on Hulu July 17.

Let's start with a song from the original cast recording of Hamilton. The song is "The Room Where It Happens." And it appears to have inspired the title of John Bolton's new memoir, The Room Where It Happened, in which Bolton lays out all the reasons beyond Ukraine why Trump should have been impeached. Here's Leslie Odom, Jr., as Aaron Burr and Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton.
