We put Broadway’s Hamilton creator to the test, asking him to sing a song from the classic 1989 animated musical [The Little Mermaid]. Miranda broke right into his own version of Kiss the Girl.
We had to stop him after a while.

“Sometimes I would quote a section of The Little Mermaid’s score and (the directors of Moana) were like, ‘How do you know our movie?’ Because I’ve seen it a ba-jillion times,“ he says.

Miranda is slated to work on a live-action version of Little Mermaid with iconic songwriter Alan Menken. But don’t hold your breath, the deal is still being worked out.

“So I don’t know what my role is on that,” says Miranda. “I don’t know whether it’s working on music or being kind of a music supervisor, I just kind of have the biggest fanboy hat on right now.”
