I didn't want to do anything my mother wanted me to do so surely I wasn't going to sing for her.

My only responsibility as a playwright and a storyteller is to give you the time of your life in the theatre. I just happen to think that with Hamilton's story, sticking close to the facts helps me. All the most interesting things in the show happened.
'Rent' was the show that made me want to write. Or that showed me you're allowed to write.
