Lin-Manuel Miranda: The Pretty Tony

August 2nd, 2008 | Author: Slava Kuperstein

DX: Do you plan to keep working on the show indefinitely, or are you going to start working on others?
LM:
Now is the fun part, because we've won what we're going to win, and we still get to do the show every night. I love my cast and the crew at the Richard Rodgers. I love the intensity of doing a show eight times a week. And slowly, my days are becoming my own, so I can start writing again.

DX: It’s the night of the show, and suddenly you lose your voice. Assuming you could pick any emcee and he would know your lines, who do you pick to take your place?
LM: Mos Def
. Not only is he one of the greats, he's also a tremendous actor. I think he could actually play Usnavi pretty well.

DX: Is Whoopi Goldberg a good dancer?
LM:
Yes! I grabbed her to dance when we won, because when I got up on stage, she was already doing the salsa step in time. She's also one of five living people who has a Tony, Emmy, Grammy and Oscar, so she's kind of good at everything.
