Hi, I'm Patti LuPone.

This is Lin-Manuel Miranda.

You're listening to the Broadway Podcast Network.

Are your ad campaigns lighting up the dashboard, but not the pipeline? That's bullspend, and marketers are calling it out in Dashboard Confessions.

You know, and this is a super hot take.

I feel like a lot of people are going to get mad at me about it, but I think Lin-Manuel Miranda is ruining Disney movies right now.

Whoa.

I know.

And then in that moment, you're experiencing the emotion with the character, right? You know, you can go all the way back, right? Every great song does.

That's a good pop song.

Lin-Manuel Miranda does Broadway songs.

Broadway songs tell the story through song.

Because I've got it, I flaunt it.

Oh, that's played by Lin-Manuel Miranda, done and dusted.

Oh, do

you have a Lin-Manuel in you?

school musical, Grease, Heathers, Mean Girls.

So again, we're in that genre of Bring It On, the musical, which was a Lin-Manuel Miranda musical about cheerleaders.

Carrie, that little hit that the RSC didn't have.

Be More Chill.

It's just gonna be really fun.

I feel like musical theater has continued to grow and be more prominent with Lin-Manuel and different things.

So yeah, I'm excited.

Nice.

A star-studded event tonight.

Prince Andrew, Immortal Technique, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Just all the stars

are out tonight.

Yeah, I mean, it is a brutal lineup.

I get being like, I hate the Knicks because it's just going to cut to Lex Wexner and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and you're like, what the fuck?

Yeah, I know.

I hate it.

And so...

You get the history of a theater and specific shows people have worked on and really just like a fun take on a lot of different plays and musicals at the same time as you're getting sort of the connective tissue of like, here's Lin-Manuel Miranda in the Heights at the Richard Rogers Theater and he's standing in the orchestra pit and this is like a story about that.

And then, oh my God, here's someone from the original Chicago that played that same theater and their story takes place in that same orchestra pit.

So it's kind of like using physical history of theater to tie together different eras, different timelines, different people.
