Each week night, THE LATE LATE SHOW with JAMES CORDEN throws the ultimate late night after party with a mix of celebrity guests, edgy musical acts, games and sketches. Corden differentiates his show by offering viewers a peek behind-the-scenes into the green room, bringing all of his guests out at once and lending his musical and acting talents to various sketches. Additionally, bandleader Reggie Watts and the house band provide original, improvised music throughout the show. Since Corden took the reigns as host in March 2015, he has quickly become known for generating buzzworthy viral videos, such as Carpool Karaoke." - บันเทิง
I wanna be in the car where it happens
Iman Ayed the car where it happens
No one else is in the car where it happens
Sophie Sergeant
No one really knows how the car is driven.
dat reference doeee
Iman Ayed same xD
What I've learned from this
Broadway stars are just successful Broadway Nerds
so true.
Amber Elbishlawi yesssss
Amber Elbishlawi pretty much
Amber Elbishlawi preach
Amber Elbishlawi So true.
Love it when Lin forgets the words to the musical that he wrote
Time stamp?
Lol
To be fair, I think I’ve heard him say it has, like 23,000 words. 😆
Look back at the bill of rights- (WHICH I WROTE!) -The ink hasn’t dried…
He writes a lot of music for films and musicals, I’m not surprised
Lin looks like he just finished writing the federalist papers
yea lol with Hamilton shows back to back
Glad I found your reply among the sea of comments. Truly made my day 😂
I CACKLED
Tired? Dead?
Burr:'He wrote the other 51!'
Haters: You can't do les Miserables with just 5 people
Lin and company: Watch us
Serena Stevenson who doubted them. I mean I do a terrible rendition with just one person in the shower
Serena Stevenson they did it with 3 th-cam.com/video/a_TvKH-qEJk/w-d-xo.html
Serena Stevenson chills
Anyone who says that clearly hasn't met an actual theater kid. XD
Serena Stevenson *james and company
"Hamilton's selling fine." Understatement of the year.
Exactly!!!!
He is very modest
Ive always wondered if they have to act modest about the shows popularity or are they just completely oblivious
i agree
+Hannah Belair I think they have to notice it. Lin kept mentioning how he was trying to figure out ways for everybody to be able to get the chance to see it meaning he knows how difficult it is to get tickets.
Imagine walking the streets and seeing a car full of broadway performers just singing their hearts out in a car with James Corden.
o7
We wannabe in the street where it happened😭😭😭
@@ValeriaHernandez-06 lmao 😂
Oh no lmanberg
@@ValeriaHernandez-06 the room where it happens…
Lin’s little “that’s me!” Is the most adorable
Edit: at the end of the video I was literally crying
sameee 😭
Love the profile pic
How could you not?
Justin laboy
It's quite the finale!
Lin: Hamilton is selling..fine..
*Hamilton tickets sell out the DAY THEY GO OUT*
GachaGirl 09 yeah, there selling...fine
It's sold out for like two years.
The only reason I could go was for my school trip 2 months ago. But we were at the worst seats but it was still good
I was lucky to get one
Honestly I hate the people who are going that don’t lnow the show because honey give the tickets to someone who cares
"And the world's gonna know your name! What's your name man?"
"Lin-Manuel Miranda!"
I honestly love him so much
Kaila Young I laughed so hard at this part
Kaila Young same
I
right!
Kaila Young he is the best
When Audra decides to lean in and let the operatic training flow and dominates the entire car of Broadway stars. I started clapping without even meaning to.
She’s amazing. It’s effortless for her
She’s so regal and gorgeous. She has such presence.
I clapped too! lol
She can be nominated just for this performance alone 🤣🤣 Audra is just always bringing her A-game
I watch her push those notes and go ‘is anyone else ever actually really singing???’
The way that they all knew to harmonize when singing Rent made my heart extremely happy.
ME TOOOOO
Proof that Broadway stars are just theatre kids that made it
E Harland YES
100% agree with you. And I love your profile pic👌
@@gleegirl6873 lmao thanks
Sadly the rest of them didn't make it.
i mean yes is that not obvious lmao
We have a happy car filled with...A white female, a black female, a gay man, a Latino, and a Brit! :-)
But where's the Asian :O
Lin is a Puerto Rican not a Latino
+Candy Beans We'll be there soon
u are absolutely crazy right? he is latino! puerto rican are latinos!
Not quite, we got a barbie reject, a 40 year old woman post kicking crack addiction, a gay transvestite with beard, a camp ginger and a fat flamboyant english man.
0:39 Alexander Hamilton
1:27 Guns and Ships
3:53 Seasons of Love
6:00 Can't take my eyes off you
8:15 One day more
Thanks
Where’s guns and ships🥲
@@andrewbuck6269 if you just watch the Alexander Hamilton part it comes right after
True where is guns and ships
Included it 😃
3:52 as a theatre kid i can confirm, our reaction is either that 'awww' or "**IMMEDIATELY STARTS SCREAMING THE LYRICS**"
“WHATS YA NAME MAN?”
“Lin Manuel Miranda”
lmao
I laughed 😂😂
Oh yes
My name is Lin Miranda
I know you don't who I am... 😂
"Hamilton is selling FINE." Oh Lin you humble little muffin
Grace Henry *Linnamon bun
ohmygod HAHA LINNAMON BUN
Melody12367 correction: LINNAMON ROLL*
Grace Henry 😂😂😂
Linnamon bun is best bun
this is one of the most chaotic carpool karaokes i’ve ever seen
thank you Lin
One day more is supposed to be chaotic tho tbf
i’m jealous of every person who saw this car going down the street with this going down inside and recognised that james corden was in there with a bunch of broadway stars
There is no car - it is green screened and done in a studio
@@andystrang8831 There is no studio - it is projected inside your mind by the Deep State of Uranus.
@@andystrang8831 it’s a real car on a trailer being pulled
I can imagine them getting pulled over, and when the officer looks in the window, he faints.
Kayla Knowles
that officer would be me
Why would Lin roll down the window if he's on the passenger's seat?
TheaterRaven OML I was just thinking that! 😂
YASSSS
James Corden rolls down the window and the officer is blasted by a solid wall of MUSIC.
Lin Manuel Miranda seems like such a lovely man
LOVE HIM
Julie E he is a linnamon roll
His friends are all lucky friends honestly
Julie E yes totally
he is
With Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Tony win, every person in that car is a Tony winner. 😳 As a theater kid, this makes my heart soar 💓
Soooo happy for him🥲🥲
As a member of the theater cult I can 100% confirm that this is how we act 24/7. best car ride I’ve ever seen
I carpooled to rehearsal once with a group of four, the parent that drove us wore earplugs lmaooo
This a normal drive to school for theater kids.
Bri Bam aka me
Bri Bam YASSSSSSSS
Bri Bam me
Bri Bam. SO TRUE!
No seriously. Me every day 2005-2009
Mom- what do you want to do when you grow up?
Me- be in a car singing Hamilton songs with Lin
Same!!
That’s on my bucket list lol
I want to meet Lin
Rosé Keewii I SHARE YOUR DREAM
Rosé Keewii GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE
Like Lin isn't the best singer... but man in this type of scenario you really see just how talented he actually is.
Most people in the car are just singing the words that most of us would sing, but Lin knows how much better it will sound with all the backing which he does pretty much solo... dudes fkn great
It’s all his time freestyling with Freestyle Love Supreme that is really paying off
I think a lot of people that say Lin isn't a good singer tend to forget that he's usually singing next to voices like Leslie Odom Jr, Christopher Jackson, and Phillipa Soo- not exactly the kinds of people you'd want your voice compared to😂. If he were to sing next to an average voice, people would probably realize his voice is actually really good.
@@ekbrandon93 oh, no doubt.
Hes obviously at the very least a GOOD singer.
When you sing with people who can actually harmonise and do the different parts of these songs it just makes them so much better.
Everybody does their catch breath at the same time 😂😅🎉❤
That's it. There will never be a better carpool karaoke.
Yeup! Best carpool kareoke
+emily h i love u
+Achilles I love your username, but I must still disagree!
amen to that!
It's great, and could be the best.....but Jennifer Hudson did sing an Astro Burger order. And Adele sang the Spice Girls AND Nicki Minaj.
Before Hamilton: 'I'm at your service, sir.' Oh, Polite!
After Hamilton: 'I'm at your service, sir.' REFERENCES AND POLITE
And i love this. This shiz's great.
Elizabeth Midlford I thought the same thing
KAGAMI
SAME
Elizabeth Midlford SAME!!
0:57 love lin doing a harmony here that isn't even in the show
That rendition of One Day More… EPIC. I’ve watched it 100x over the last few years. ❤
This is every theatre kids dream lol
True
Correction: theatre freak
Ikr I love Broadway so much. 😍😍
+M3 Melodies how can you not! ❤️😍

Did Lin really just casually say
"I'm at your service sir."
REALLY LIN

Lin points to himself "That's me!"
HELL YES YOU ARE!
Damn right you are
When did that happen???
@@merylk.4516 around 2:03
Thanks
❤❤❤
Every time I watch this, I imagine the sound guy trying ferociously to keep all of the mics they placed in the car within their db limits as actual Broadway stars sing their hearts out.
The sound pressure levels within that car had to be just off the charts.
You do hear that with one day more
Audra has the most incredible voice! I just love her!
yes, it’s quite a gift!
“Hamilton is selling fine” three years later tickets are $200
Literally. I finally can barely afford tickets
i just got to see it in new york for $40...dream come true
Madison Glenn that’s amazing !!!
Madison Glenn how???
I just saw it in Nashville like 5 hours ago and it was AMAZING!
“Hamilton’s selling fine.”
Biggest understatement of the century.
X Smol Kpop Trash X 666 likes
Yep...
hahaha so true
What part was that in the video
Hamilton is still awesome!
This was 7 years ago and i am still loving it. The way they all look so happy while singing these songs is making my day.
Honestly, can you believe 2016 was 7 years ago!
People who wrote their own musical and casted themself as the lead:
-Lin Manuel Miranda-
"What's you're name, man?"
"Lin Manuel Miranda"
-kill me he's so adorable-
me toO
peggy schuyler What are you doing here Puggi??
what did we do to deserve this adorable man
What's you are name. Sick.
Trash. I KNOW!!!!
I swear James Corden knows like every song in the world
unicorn lover food lover I know right 😂
he stays up till 4 am studying the lyrics lmao
(idk if it’s true but i’m joking lol)
He does revise:') he tweets pictures lyric sheehs sometimes to tease upcoming videos
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!
He probably practiced for ever cause he doesnt want to screw up In front of the celeb.
Here I am obsessing over everything Hamilton musical related. I’m years late I must confess, but it’s best thing I have ever watched while in quarantine. Such a feast for all the senses! 🙌🏻
Yesss!
SAME...I have a serious Hamilton problem (and so does my son 💗)
same here 😁🫂
Welcome
So am I. I discovered it two months ago.
Well, James says that he wants them all to meet up in 10 years to see what they've achieved. Only 4 more years to go!!! We need a repeat of this!!!
Absolutely
3 years more!
Time flies
3 years to go!
james should become an uber driver for a day and do carpool karaoke with random people
YES
i would consider moving to the united states if that happened
Yes!!
+James Stewart that's messed up in so many ways 😂
thats a good idea
Ummm... aren’t any of you surprised that James cordon can sing Lafayette’s fastest rap?!!!????
that the exact same thing i thought 🤣
not just that, the fastest rap to ever be on broadway
freakin shocked me
THATS WHAT I SAID
Thanks for all the likes could you sub? Haha
Nope
when he said "hamilton is selling fine" i was like WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT IS SELLING LIKE CRAZY
Seeing Hamilton on Disney and live ( 2 TIMES at Sydney lyric Theatre) made me realise that i want to be like them. Be on Broadway, sing, be on a stage INFRONT of millions. I hope i make it that far. I really do.
Honestly same bestie
good luck :)
omg same😭 you can do anything you put your mind to with enough determination🤍🔥
I hope you do too!
rooting for you!
"I'm at your service, sir."
*burr screams in the back*
Oh Hey WHEN LIN SAID THAT I BROKE DOWN HE'S AN ADORABLE CINNAMON BUN
Sneaky Lin
I have seen this video and watched for the past two years, and less than a month ago I became obsessed with Hamilton. So I came back to here because Lin. But, when he said that I just laughed. It's also awesome that I understand all of the comments now when before I was like "what are all these people going on about?"
#Shamelessselfpromo 😂
Oh Hey I got out of sorts with a buddy of yours
Thanks to Hamilton I aced history of the revolutionary war. I want a musical about algebra guys.
Grumpy Kitty we don’t learn about the revolutionary war here 😢
DUDE
Ong, come on Lin!!
MOOOOOOODD
Theres a mini musical about calculus.
Audra MacDonald is just amazing!! I'd listen to her sing the manual to my kid's carseat!
I love them all but Audra motherfreakin' McDonald is a true GOAT!!!!!💜💙💜💙 She is the person that first inspired me to even pursue theater when I saw that PBS special of Ragtime. Audra and Brian Stokes Mitchell will always have a dear and special place in my heart for how them sharing their gifts and talents truly changed my life for the better!
"Hamilton is selling fine." Fine? Fine?! Just "Fine"?!?!?!
Miraza Miranda Understatement of the Year
Why London? To hear your country get killed.
pineapple kitty HAHAHA IN SCREAMING
I hope it comes to Australia at some point. I hardly ever see plays but Hamilton is a must.
IT IS SELLING GREAT! INCREDIBLE TO BE HONEST.
*james cordon does the Lafayette rap*
Me: I am full of respect for you James
I tried it... I Can Do it.... After a year practising... It is so hard
I can do it...
guns and ships is a fun one to do.
Trueee
i like it how james corden gets applause when he raps it yet all of us don't ha ha
I guess we know why Lin always yells "WHAT?" at the end of one day more now
Now, I do ahahah
Lmao i think we are on the same page here
I just got the recommended too 😂😂😂
@@chayalanachum1005 somebody recently posted a video of the ITH OBC doing a parody of One Day More and Lin was yelling what the entire time
Audra McDonald is my vocal idol. Her voice just melts me everytime. ♥️♥️♥️
I got to see her in Ragtime in Toronto before it went to Broadway way back in eighth grade, we normally would see Phantom, but the teacher said she wanted us to see something different for once... So not sorry
WHATS YOUR NAME MAN?
“Lin-Manuel Miranda”
RIP Me who died of laughter
Same😭😭
Where is hamilton I can't see it anywhere
@@samuestiannano1425 what do you mean
@@iamme3160 I don't see Lewis Hamilton anywhere, I think it's clickbait
@@samuestiannano1425 Are you serious about this comment? At this point I can't even tell if you're joking or not-
"Im at ur service sir"
DID YOU HEAR THAT? LIN!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a total "I see what you did there" moment.
Jasmine Sayuko 300h like!!!!!!
Yeah, and Corden or the audience didn’t seem to notice. I think you have to have Hamilton as part of your fiber to get it.
Jasmine Sayuko he literally just said that when I read your comment
LOL yeh
Who's watching this in June 2021 just because they are excited about Broadway coming back and... In The Heights movie is out?!
🙋🏼♀️💘
OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW?!
2 more weeks.....
🙋♀️
@@robertaclark6079 Mee i have seen in the heights 2x now - just loove lin so much.
Audra McDonald’s voice is a thing of beauty. What can’t she sing?
I wanna be in the car where it happened
Yesssssssss
This comment needs more like
Me tooo!
This comment is so underrated 😍😍
Yes! 🤣
When Lin said," Hamilton is selling fine."
I was like WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOST OF THE SHOWS ARE SOLD OUT FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iliana Marie and the ones that aren't sold out cost $550 a ticket 😪😒
the only good thing that trump has done, cause his melt down i didnt really care about hamilton nor know much about it now i want to be in it
Same
While this was certainly a modest statement, you do have to realize that millions of dollars go into the show, and it frequently takes years of sold out shows in order to make a profit. So in terms of debt to profit, you could say it's only going "fine".
The collective “awww 🥰” was sooo wholesome ☺️ also love rent 😅
So many incredible moments: James Corden's Guns and Ships (literally he was living my dream of rapping with LMM lol), Rent sing-a-long, and Audra MacDonald on One Day More. Sublimmmmmme.
"Hamilton tickets are selling fine" just fine?!
Try $1600!
+Kathy Crawford lol I think he meant the number of tickets!
I got front row tix to Hamilton I'm January
+Daniela Chamorro the tickets are so expensive because they are so hard to get because they sell out almost instantly
Don't even want to know how much they were! Pretty annoyed about the whole situation with the ticket resellers at the moment, means I won't be able to see Hamilton for years, if ever. I'm going to NY for the summer, from Ireland, but sadly there's no way I could afford tickets. Even if I had the money I don't think I'd pay the 700-1200 dollars to the resellers just out of spite since show isn't even getting the money from the ridiculous profit that's being made.
"Hamilton"
Lin: "That's me!"
Awww
such a linnamon roll
THATS MEEEEEEEEEE
anyone who doesnt get that reference isnt a true lin fan
21 CHUMP STREET
Phanic! At The Hamilton I honestly hate when ppl say 'YOUR NOT A TRUE (some person/fandom) FAN IF YOU DON'T-' like, pls stop
I read this in Justin Laboy's voice
Me *sings the entirety 21 chump street*
I have watched this video so many times. Every time I get chills. This video always makes me smile. They are proof that every theater kid out there has a chance to live their dream. It's beautiful to see them all together.
Damn... the second Audra opens her mouth though... What a voice! What a talent!
"I'm at your service, sir"
Burr: SCREAMS FROM THE BOOT
Burr realized the car wasn't wide enough
Too bad he through away his shot
I love this so much.
I actually was like "Your obedient servant"
a dot burr
I wanna be in the car where it happens, the car where it happens
IvnaMalfoy WHAT?
LMAO
IVE GOT TO BE IN CAR WHERE IT HAPPENS
IvnaMalfoy I just wanna be in.CAR WHERE HAPPENS!
Me too,but I'm willing to wait for it....the puns will never stop!!!
This will never get old. Audra McDonald is a n awesome singer. That last note.
I always come back to this video because it reminds me of my musicaldays as a theatre kid. Best part of my life! Also, I think the part of Jesse pushing away Jane during One Day More is absolutely hilarious.
Agree. Was wishing the final thing would be him literally covering her mouth while she was trying to sing.
“As a theatre kid I can confi-“ baby the only people here ARE theatre kids. We know.
MaryAnne Tully literally lmao
Now I feel left out 😂
Non theatre kid here, just really like hamilton
When I read we know, I thought about the Hamilton song lmao
Silver Vasquez I have a some bad news for you my dude
I SWEAR ONE DAY MORE IS ALL I EVER WANTED TO HEAR IN CARPOOL KARAOKE
Yessssssssss finalllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂
IT WAS BREATHTAKING
+Skylar Lange yo my phandom family
Jesse's Marius though at 9:08 xD I cried laughing there
what time does it start at?
Hamilton Parts:
All the theater kids or everyone that likes Hamilton, just does what they do... it's so realistic
One day more was absolutely insane🤯😱 They were singing a whole Esemble with only five people and got in their roles so quick! Just amazing!!!👏👏👏
I think Lin woke up that morning and sat down like 'hey imma make as many hamilton references as possible so my fans explode..."
Yeppp
That's about right
I like your profile pic lol 😏😏 ITS PASTEL I LUV PASTEL
Sounds right to me
"Hamilton is selling fine"- UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR LIN
IM SAYING. ITS FUCKING SOLD OUT FOR 2 YEARS.
Omg so true
"Fine" sure...
The audience was so dull, I would've given the biggest sarcastic laugh I could muster at that statement.
IKR
10:42 Audra's voice in this is INSANE!
I listen to this about once or twice a month. Gives me so the feels. I can’t imagine how loud the vocals are in the car on One Day More.
Okay but like I just have to point out that James Corden actually did the Guns and Ships rap _perfectly_ and I respect that
@Tamzin Bandar I noticed that he messed up but recovered well.
Frozen Burrito I can as well 👉👈
I can sing it perfectly too
Holy crap! He did amazing!
It’s not that hard yall...
"I'm at your service sir" when is Lin not adorable?
TalkingToMyself never.
TalkingToMyself always
TalkingToMyself never
He's always adorable tbh XD
“I’M IN A CAR WITH JAMES CORDEN” he’s just as excited to be alongside James as James is to be alongside the creator and star of Hamilton
Did anyone notice Lin said “I’m at your service, sir” 😂
why was i expecting james and lin to perform the schuyler sisters-
Sugarfree skull i was kinda hoping 😂💀
I wanna see that
I know
There should be a part 2
AND PEGGY
I'm not even a real Broadway fan and I deeply wished that was at least a 6 hour video.
SAME
Same here, yet I have a grin from ear to ear
The five of them need to make an album stat
I do wonder.....what was edited out for time??? James should release some of the edited out songs from the other CPKs , too!!!! James has some amazing different themes on his show. Love that the guests all sit together and interact with James sitting right next to them and not behind a desk. Just about the most entertaining late night show (some of Fallon's skits are great, too). I just wish he was on earlier. I'm asleep at 12:35 am! I tried DVRing the shows; but with 60 plus taped I just didn't have time to watch. ☹️
+shejean You know all the guests sitting next to each other with James close as well actually comes from the Graham Norton show. You should check that out on youtube.
Fun Fact....When Audra sings at 8:53, that's when this emoji was invented! 💀💀💀
This set was incredible! I'm so happy to be a Broadway fan! ❤
I came here for “One Day More” and I was not disappointed!! Audra is AMAZING wow 😮
Lin screaming " WHAT" is the reason I get up in the morning.
The real life unicorn I read this comment right when he was saying it
When does he say what?
Christine Bernstein you're awesome, thank you!
I'm a simple human. I see Lin in the thumbnail. I click it

His “at your service, sir” being a nod to the play 😅
I work as a background actor and a stand-in. I was working on this production a few months ago and luckily, the set was right in my hometown, just a 5 minute drive from my house. Usually I have to travel at least 30 minutes in an Uber or 1.5 hours on public transit to make it to most sets, which are usually downtown.
I had already been working on the production for a few days, but for some reason on that day in particular, one of the wranglers made an announcement that there was going to be a new actor on set. They warned us not to approach them, ask for selfies or autographs, or post about their involvement in the production anywhere online. They reminded us that we were legally bound as per the NDAs we signed.
Now, this announcement was a bit odd because they never have to specifically tell us not to do these things. Working in the film industry, it's already a well known rule that it's never allowed to approach cast and ask for selfies or anything like that, unless they start talking to you first. Even then, it's super unprofessional to ask for a selfie or autograph. You can get into a lot of trouble for doing this. Same goes for PAs, grips, and other crew (except for more important positions like assistant directors, directors, showrunners, producers etc.) So, to have a wrangler make this announcement got me thinking... How famous is this actor for them to have to specifically instruct us not to interact with them? Because I've worked on set with actors like Bob Odenkirk, Ryan Reynolds, and Mark Ruffalo and not once have I ever been told not to approach; it's just a given.
So, before we went to set, I looked at the call sheet for the day to see who the actor was and I saw an actor's name I didn't recognize, so I looked it up and turns out it was a fake name. Weird. Also something I've never seen. Actors' real names (stage names) are always used on call sheets as far as I knew.
Anyway, we got to set and I was placed at a table with another fellow BG. This man walked past us with a little boy, which I assumed was his son. He and I exchanged a look as they both walked past us because I was (unintentionally) staring at him. I swore I recognized him. I realized why I recognized him and said "that dude looks so much like Lin-Manuel Miranda". Then I remembered the announcement and thought "Wait... was that actually Lin-Manuel Miranda?" So I looked up if he has a son, and sure enough, he does. I Googled his name along with the name of the production I was working on and there were some rumours posted by a few publications that he might be involved in the production, but it was only speculation and never actually confirmed. So it became clear to me that it was in fact him and that his involvement was being kept secret, hence the warning. It also explained why there was a fake name on the call sheet; so that no one could take a picture of it and post it online, therefore leaking his involvement.
I'm obviously not naming what the production is to keep it a secret until it comes out, but it was surreal and super cool seeing him in person like that. Not only did I see him on set, but he was in my hometown! The shitty little town I've lived in my whole life that nobody who doesn't live here has ever heard of. It was just super crazy to me to have an A-lister like 5 minutes from my house like that. Anyway, I'm excited to see this project when it does get released!! I love Lin-Manuel Miranda. I just saw Hamilton on Disney+ recently, and was an instant fan. He is a great actor, songwriter, playwright, and director as well. I saw his movie adaptation of "tick, tick... BOOM!" recently and loved it as well.
you must be so lucky!!
This is what theatre kids look like when they are in the car going to Denny’s after the show.
You caught me😂
Piper Mendenhall exactly lol
Facts
Accurate.
🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻
“HAMILTON”
Lin: “THATS ME!”
“WHATS YA NAME MAN”
lin: “LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA”
Brie Hall what are you confused about
Amelie Crow is lin Hamilton, or is he Lin- we will never know.
Aari s
HE IS SUCH A SOFT MUFFIN I LOVE IT
Underrated comment 😂
Poor Lin. He looks so tired. I'm grateful for all of the work he put into Hamilton. I would give an arm and a leg to meet him.
5 years later and I still love this so much
