The Fed meets today. I'm picturing twelve robed elders standing in a circle around a floating pyramid with a glowing all-seeing eye. That's how interest rates work, right? #illuminati

@chrisgeidner I never think about their fates in that moment! I’m always thinking about their motivation. And now when I watch the movie I’m thinking about the fact that these two young men have each had a daughter and another son. - REG

@falsefakefaux Yeah! - JCJ

@bfaythe The way we made it not exclusive was to use social media to share as much of the show as we possibly could with as many people as possible. - REG

@katcheshire The play moves! There’s no time for pauses. The thing moves so you have to move with it. - JCJ

@SarahLichtblau @Lin_Manuel It’s something that came out of a very natural, organic process in rehearsal and performance. - TK #notananswer

@SarahLichtblau @Lin_Manuel It’s different for each Eliza. It’s heart-stopping and traverses time in some way. - LMM

@mingarla @LexiLawson @HamiltonMusical “Helpless” & “Satisfied” on the turntable. - AR, OO

@advodude @Lin_Manuel We cast Hamilton looking for essential qualities, not as any sort of replication process. The idea is to try to make sure that each cast member in every role is able to bring all that they are and find out where that intersects with the character. - TK

@TarynStickrath As far as cultural reset is concerned: time will tell us. - OO

@TarynStickrath Freestyle Love Supreme, a hip-hop improv comedy band. We were doing a show in New Orleans and Tommy was like, “Lin is writing this rap musical about Alexander Hamilton, do you want to do it?” - DD

@TarynStickrath I auditioned. You get what you’re supposed to have. You keep showing up and know that if you stay prayerful that which is yours will be called to you. - REG

@TarynStickrath Lin & Tommy came to see me in “Natasha, Pierre” and I did a reading. - PS

@KMcRaeQueen @HamiltonMusical @Lin_Manuel Sadly Peggy didn’t live that long. She married a very rich young man and died pretty young. - LMM

[BenPo4987 @BenPo4987]

@KMcRaeQueen @HamiltonMusical @Lin_Manuel I am not planning a sequel to Hamilton. I don’t know on Earth how I could follow that up. - LM

[BenPo4987 @BenPo4987]

@RealTboneGaming @DaveedDiggs Yes, to the degree that I did anything with a French accent. Anything I can do to act through singing is gonna be helpful because I am so uncomfortable singing. - DD

[BenPo4987 @BenPo4987]

@ImSmammy @Lin_Manuel One of the biggest themes of the show is “you don’t get to control how you’re remembered,” and the show doesn’t escape that fate either. Different things within it will rise or fall based on the way we are. - LMM

[BenPo4987 @BenPo4987]

@ali_luv_39 @leslieodomjr Seeing an early reading of the Hamilton Mixtape and “The Story of Tonight”–– I had never in my life seen four men of color singing about friendship and brotherhood. It was worthy. - LO
