I LOVE Lin-Manuel Miranda, but this interview sucks. Why does the interviewer keep interrupting him? What's with the flute music in the background?

[KrayonL]

I honestly think he is one of the brilliant minds of our day. He is just awesome!

[hottieho13]

@pimentel79 that's still diverse......

[GLINDAnELPHABA]

i dont think i could write about where I live "In Los Angeles" * in the tune of "in washington heights"* doesnt flow right

[mpheli]

LMAO 4:36 Robin de Jesus... hahaha

[mysweetsmile23]

"i hit a higher note than eden espinosa" xD wow genius!

[pimentel79]

btw, although this was more a correction than a criticizm, I commend RevolucionLatina for the great work that you guys doing.

Great interview and play, I'm dying to see it. But one minor criticizm about the interviewer and the information that was posted in reference to Washington Heights. I'm from Washington Heights, and although there are other cultures in the Heights, it is not really that diverse, because Washington heights is an overwhelmingly Dominican populated area. You will find other cultures in the mix, but not that many.
