Lin-Manuel Miranda | Everything is Basically the School Play | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out

On today's episode of Mike Birbiglia's Working it Out, in celebration of his new album, Warriors, Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In The Heights) sits down with Mike for a wide ranging talk about writing musicals, riding the subway, and taking big creative risks. Lin explains why you need so many ideas to write a musical, and he shares the important lessons he learns from writing and performing in school plays as a student. Plus, Lin recalls the origins of Hamilton and some of the more chaotic performances in the show’s run. Please consider donating to RISE Theatre (https://www.risetheatre.org/donate).
