'Hamilton' Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda Urges People To Vote

“There is no expression of our democracy that is more important or more integral than voting, so how fitting is it that the ‘Hamilton’ cast encourages all folks to vote,” Seller said.

Miranda feels the arts can play a big role when it comes to civic responsibility, yet his motivation didn’t come from his father, Luis, who worked as a political adviser, it came from watching “The West Wing.”

“It was a really good TV show that put a human face on what actually happens in the White House,” Miranda said.

That inspired him, and he feels “Hamilton” can share that same magic.

“To see the origin story of our country, in musical theater form, inspires people to think about what our country should be, and so we’re just kind of playing that out in 2016.”

While he could transform a story of a founding father into the hottest musical on the planet, Miranda isn’t sure what he could have done with last week’s presidential debate.

“I think that was the source for a lot of things. I don’t know if a musical is the final form it will take, but it was certainly gripping live theater,” Miranda said with a smile.
