Coverage: Lin Interview with El Nuevo Día
Lin did an interview a couple of days ago with El Nuevo Día, an online newspaper based in Puerto Rico where he talked about the upcoming projects he has and what leaving Hamilton meant for him.
“Estoy muy emocionado. No estoy cansado de hacer el show. Estoy cansado punto. Porque este ha sido el año mas extraordinario de mi vida. Esta no va a ser la última vez que voy a interpretar a Hamilton, en lo absoluto. Espero integrarme a la producción de Londres, espero ser parte de la gira al menos una semana. En algún momento se van a cansar de que interprete a Hamilton. `Ay Dios, Lin volvió a hacer Hamilton’. Porque escribí un papel que tiene tantas palabras, que no me canso de decirlo y encuentro cosas nuevas con los actores cada noche. Hay tanto allí que uno no se puede cansar de ese papel. Quizá después de un año te puedes cansar de Hamlet o de otros papeles, tu cuerpo puede estar extenuado, pero hay tanto en ese trabajo que yo espero integrarme de ocasión en ocasión por el resto de mi vida” [Source]
Meanwhile I’ve updated the gallery with photos from the interview and a small video.

Throwing it in a vault at Gringotts for a bit probly. But we’re getting it.— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) June 16, 2016
3) I’m so thrilled for @JMunozActor. We created the role together. I’m still jealous he got to perform for Jay-Z & Beyonce.
