After two and a half years, the creator of the hit musical Hamilton is reprising his role as the show’s lead in Puerto Rico.

The multiple Tony award winner is staging a three-week residency in the territory, which is situated in the Caribbean.

Lin-Manuel himself is of Puerto Rican descent and told CBS News following the musical’s premiere on Friday, “I just love this island so much. And I just want it to be proud of me. Today Puerto Rico gave me more energy than ever in my life in that moment. I have never felt anything like that.”

Opening night was attended by talk show host Jimmy Fallon, Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes, and author Ron Chernow, who penned the biography of Alexander Hamilton that inspired Lin-Manuel to write the musical.

Hamilton’s Puerto Rico residency will raise $15 million for the Flamboyan Arts Fund, which was established by the Miranda family to aid arts organisations.

Just you wait!

With the release of Mary Poppins Returns just mere weeks away, Disney has now released a song from the film which is just poor delight.

Entitled Trip a Little Light Fantastic, that’s exactly what Lin-Manuel Miranda, who plays Jack, does as he encourages the children in the film to dance away their fears.

Referencing the gas lamplighters called Leeries (of which he is a part), the Hamilton star sings, “If a spark can start inside your heart, then you can always find a way / So when life is getting dreary, just pretend that you’re a Leery as you trip a little fantastic with me.”

We’ll get to see how the song fits in when Miss Poppins (Emily Blunt) returns to help now-adult siblings Jane (Emily Mortimer) and Michael Banks (Ben Whishaw) after a family tragedy.

Mary Poppins Returns hits screens on the 19th of December.
