“I only know how to write musicals.” — Lin-Manuel Miranda Quote

I only know how to write musicals.

There's been lots of theater that uses hip-hop in it, but more often than not, it's used as a joke - isn't it hilarious that these characters are rapping. I treat it as a musical form, and a musical form that allows you to pack in a ton of lyric.

The musicals that leave us kind of staggering on our feet are the ones that really reach for a lot.

What's incredible about 'Hamilton,' and the reason you can't get a ticket, is because everyone's responding to it. Everyone is seeing a bit of themselves in it.

We love 'Fiddler.' We love 'West Side Story.' I want to be in that club. I want to be in the club that writes the musical that every high school does.

I did musicals in high school, certainly. And then I just kept wanting to do them. I felt at home in the theater, in that way that, you know, you're supposed to if that's the kind of person you are.

But I wish they would make a musical of some kind. I miss musicals so much. You don't see them anymore.

In college, I started out doing musicals and Shakespeare.

I never got interested in musicals.

I'm not a fan of musicals. Never have been.
