- The groundbreaking hip-hop musical "Hamilton," telling the story of founding father Alexander Hamilton, is the hottest ticket on Broadway. Since previews began in July, the show has sold more than $61 million in tickets. Now, fans can get a backstage look at the musical in a new book, "Hamilton: The Revolution." Show creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and cultural critic Jeremy McCarter, who co-wrote the book, join "CBS This Morning" to discuss the process of creating the musical.
Whenever an interviewer tried to get Lin to talk about himself and his masterpiece, he always turns it around to talk about how gifted the other people he works with are. He's an incredibly humble guy.
Lin: *quotes himself*
Also Lin: Don't act surprised, you guys, cuz I wrote 'em!
Now I want to hear Lin singing helpless in falsetto.
We all do
How good would that #ham4ham be?
Search helpless demo
the irony of lin manuel saying "im in the eye of the hurricane"while the camera had him at an angle so that his head was in the center of the eye symbol in the background.
Oh my god I wanna hear Lin sing Helpless
+Dirk Strider Me Too!
They should do this for a Ham4Ham show!
+Lily Alyse Yessss please, that would be incredible!
Lexi Lou just search for helpless demo
I'd probably die of laughter
OK BUT LIN HAS SUCH NICE SKIN ITS LIKE GLOWING
I already knew I liked Hamilton, and that Lin Manuel Miranda was talented, but this is the interview that made me like Lin Manuel Miranda.
Love to hear Lin Manuel talking. It is relaxing just to hear his voice. Very charismatic!
*when the video buffers* THIS VIDEO IS EMINENT WHAT DO YOU STALL FOR

raeganslife15 BLESS YOU
+leelee !! My son
+Nick Young look at my son
I love how this is commented on almost every interview with Lin at least once
After Lin said, "We'll see where we land," who wanted him to say, "But the revolution's imminent, what do you stall for?" after.
one of the joys of following this show is watching lin master the 'yeah, I wrote that, it's pretty good, I'm pretty proud of it, oh, it's not that good, you don't need to say all that' face
I really love Lin! I think he's a really nice guy, I know you can't tell if someone is nice from some interviews and whatever but something about his demeanor tells me that he's a really good person.
Once my history teacher asked who Alexander Hamilton it and I said every fact from "Hamilton" and he asked if I saw/listened to "Hamilton"
I need that helpless demo
Saaaaaaame
8:35 He's not very forthcoming on any particular stances. Ask him a question, it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances
Ethan Roberts and people call me a frankifile at least they know I know where France is
Lin is so entertaining. I could listen to him talking about ANYTHING all day
I'd watch morning news every day if they have segments about musicals
"It truly is a revolution,"
Me as I scream "YOU WANT A REVOLUTION, I WANT A REVELATION!"
says "im in the eye of the hurricane" is in the center of the CBS logo
8:35 THE REVOLUTIONARY'S IMMINENT WHAT DO YOU STALL FOR??
OH WHO ARE YOU WHO ARE YOU WHO ARE YOU WHO WHO IS THIS KID WHATS HE GONNA DO
I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT
IF YOU STAND FOR NOTHING BURR WHAT DO YOU FALL FOR?
@@nimishajoseph363 AND I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT
HEY YO IM JUST LIKE MY COUNTRY
IM YOUNG SCRAPY AND HUNGRY
AND IM NOT THROWIN AWAY MY SHOT
NGL but he is the most beautiful and thoughtful guy in the world❤❤❤
One think i would have like Lin to mention when he was asked about the "non-white" wording of the principal actors casting call is that casting calls in the past has often specified "caucasians" for it's roles, how come no one ever had issues with that?
Because it isn't saying black, latino, asian, it is saying non-white. It's exactly like if i said non-black and everyone would freak out.
+robin212212 Alexander Hamilton was the big bankster of the day. He was Goldman
Sachs. Hamilton argued for and set up the first privately owned central
bank. Read what Jefferson, Washington, and Franklin said about Hamilton
and his banking scam. Burr was the good guy. There was no revolution,
thanks to Hamilton. So pathetic how wrong Miranda got this. But he's a
star...so I guess that's all that matters in our degraded society.
+Michael Morrell Your points all addressed in the show. Jefferson wanted an agrarian society. Hamilton set up a national bank so that the U.S. would have credit. How dumb can you be?
Jacob Straut It's true what you say about Jefferson, it's an often cited fact about how he felt (he hated NYC and the dishonest shysters that infested the island ). But your point about Hamilton doesn't disprove anything I said, which is all verifiable. There should be more people like Burr today. oy.
+Michael Morrell Burr was just a politician going for success. He was a populist, just like Bernie Sanders. Alexander has actually shaped this country by starting the banks as it unified this country and made it stronger, allowing it to grow. Burr is way less important in the scope of history.
8:33 "will see where we land"
lin is so well spoken. like wow.
#YayHAMLET
i just bought the book i'm so excited
Same! I got it for my birthday today 😊
Whenever I hear the say "revolution", I think of Angelica saying "You want a revolution, I want a revelation, so listen to my declaration."
lin's eyebrows are so fleeky
Oh yes! Yet another reason why I love him. :D
That’s exactly what I was thinking 😂
"we'll see where we land"
Lin is so attractive and I don't think I'm able to get past that
This interview tells me only that Hamilton, as a politically-charged cultural and social phenomenon, has been embraced with wide open arms by the hawkish, corporate-financial-capitalist US establishment, its political leaders in Washington, and its corporate media arm. Hamilton culls black American support for the established political and financial system; embraces the capitalist ideology of the 'American Dream,' efficiency and constant production; appropriates social and cultural traditions and expressions of identity from minority communities and integrates them into an acceptable historical narrative; mythologizes the history of the United States, its origin, growth as a civilization across a populated continent, and the exploitation of labor that was and is essential to its rise. I love the musical, but I appreciate and understand this even as I cry to 'Stay Alive (Reprise).'
this is so my favorite musical of all times
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA IS SO EPIC AND BEAUTIFUL!!
That’s what I already say to every kid in my whole elementary school
0:28 HERCULES MULLIGAN
love this
My friend got the book and brought it to school, she put a plastic wrapping around the cover
Can I get this book in the UK?
"We'll see where we land. "
What if Lin Manuel Miranda started making another musical about something different in history
why does it sound so slow?
Why are they so expensive bruh? Im broke af....
Maybe because the musical is a MASTERPIECE
I don’t got money for it either, though 😂
Is CBS invested in this show? They promoting this just about every day now.
+John Jordan Seriously? This show does not need promoting, you can't get tickets for a year and even then they are selling for 10x face value and people are paying it.
Roni Kean
I have no doubt it's a wonderful show and very popular. My comment was about the unrelenting promotion CBS This Morning is doing with it. They even mentioned it during a recent report on Prince. I'm not the first or only one to notice this.
Johnson Taylor
Little Johnson Troller, it's time to give the keyboard back to your mommy.
That's a valid observation- I've noticed it too. In fact, even though I knew if Hamilton's existence, I didn't really seek out the music till I had seen both Lin Manuel Miranda and Jonathan Groff on the Late Show.
So keep up the promotion, CBS! As wildly popular as it is, there's still a huge amount of people that don't know about it.
+Johnson Taylor whats your problem johnny?? why so upset for boo??
HELLO I LIKE THIS MUSICAL PLAY
gosh, let's hope nobody watched the boot, especially people on the other side of the planet, they might lose a few cents.
lin is so well spoken. like wow.
