I got to work and play and create amongst those giants for over two years.
Through this glorious work, I met all of YOU. If God never did another thing for a dude like me...I’d be satisfied.

Chaplain in Detroit on the “stop the count” protests:
“We’re not deterred … The Black vote in Detroit is higher than it’s ever been and we will determine the outcome — because we’ve gone from picking cotton to picking presidents.”

Congratulations and thank you, brother. The whole world is a richer, more tuneful, more empathetic place because of your creativity, your perseverance, and your generosity.
What a wonderful honor.
5 years ago we released the

...and 5 years later, still in the top 5, 7x platinum, & reeling with gratitude. To the cast, crew & fans of Hamilton around the world:
this is yours.
Live theater WILL be back someday.
Please take care of yourselves & each other. Thank you.
When the country is run by a “reality” TV show star, we get reality tv show antics and “plot twists.” It’s predictable, a waste of our good energy on bullshit. It’s old.
My thoughts and prayers are that 11/3 is an expulsion, a rebuke. We have so much work to do in reality.
Found out about two more friends testing positive a week after another friend lost his battle with the virus. Hearing first-hand harrowing accounts of the gnarly effects. What hoax? What lies??
No two Hamilton shows were the same.
This performance was special because in some small + indescribable way, they all were. Like jazz. You walk out onstage and surrender to the ride.

Damn it was good to hear an adult speak from the Presidential podium tonight with compassion and clarity. Felt like the biggest cultural reset...maybe of my life.
They understand the mandate and are up to the task. So much work to do.
Feeling grateful for my teachers on this day. English, history, acting, maths, voice, the sciences, diction, dance...
You gave me something no one can ever take away. 👊🏾♥️

celebration rolling this July 4th weekend! Add these post Hamilton creations to your playlists for clear skin and general wellness. Context is everything. (A thread)
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote???
And for the record, anyone who listened to that recording of his conversation with the Georgia Secretary of State knows, that FIRST impeachment was warranted too. His modus operandi was laid bare. Threats, quid pro quo, bullying—he’s been doing it for years.
Our president spent the first MONTHS of a 🌍WIDE pandemic doing everything he could to make Americans believe it was an invention of the “radical left.” A hoax. This, instead of preparing a commensurate response. This, instead of telling the sobering truth of what we had to face
For anyone who was following and interested, Nicolette and I are well. Thank you. We continued to test negative throughout the entire window of uncertainty.
We hope Ellen gets well ASAP. And anyone else who’s suffering! Sending love.
Golden Globe nominations today touched me deeply! From the bottom of my heart, HFPA, thank you for the acknowledgment. It means more than I can properly express at the moment.
I raised the money for my first album on Kickstarter. My family, my community, my friends and teachers gave me my first “record deal.” I’ll never forget it. One of the most humbling moments of generosity to happen to me.
We’ve come a long way! The Christmas Album out 11.6.
Thank you, Malcolm, and Muhammad, and Jim, and Sam.

right now! I could say a whole lot but mostly what I wanna say is: who’s watching this weekend?! 🍾
Because we will receive the medical care the president received? You have no idea how your body will react once the virus is inside of you.
There are people I knew in this life who aren’t here anymore.
Let’s have some respect for the “invisible enemy.” And some humility.
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
Beautiful people, please share with me the @ of the most GIFTED and brilliant Black mental health professionals you know. Bonus if they’ve been published and I can read up! Thanks so much.

😂😂 we did this every night. “Lafayette” would try to take the pamphlet “Angelica” gave me. I waved it in his face to taunt him. Sometimes he’d snatch it.
This is the president of these United States.
I have things to say for sure but...there is no better witness to the man’s ineptitude, and unfitness, and cruelty than his own words and actions. Day in and day out.
Very poor morning TV ratings for MSDNC’s Morning Joe, headed by a complete Psycho named Joe Scarborough and his ditzy airhead wife, Mika, and also
@CNN
, headed by complete unknowns. Congratulations to

on dominating the mornings (thank you President Trump!).

Man lemme tell you...we sang our hearts on this album. We needed to.
Breonna Taylor.
George Floyd.
Elijah McClain.
Atatiana Jefferson.
Tamir Rice.
For them, and countless others, there are two systems of justice in America.
Present. Fueling up!

Nicolette was packing for me while I was onstage. ✊🏾
Marvel with me as one of the most soulful and inspiring talents I’ve ever known brings fresh eyes and an open heart to the title role in

starts performances as “Jenna” on September 4th. Come see Nic this fall!
Heard. People diagnosed with mental illnesses they didn’t choose, being aligned with someone who holds on to a corrosive lie of superiority, is...offensive. I get it.
If you *can* make a different decision, your actions shouldn’t be placed alongside someone who cannot.
He held campaign rallies ON TELEVISION for MONTHS before the election.
Now...no press conference? No answering questions? He goes cagey and silent now?
When your college roommate shows up at your doorstep with the drawing he made for the poster of your first musical.
Which he somehow saved, for 21 years, and had framed for today.
Happy

day everyone. My heart is full to bursting. -LMM
Broadway says goodbye to the diner today. What a proud run.
One of the happiest times I’ve ever seen my Nicolette is during her historic run. Lucille and I were just as happy. And so so proud. Congrats

et al. What a time we had!

They hide the mics in long hair. Lots of luxurious sexy hair onstage at the Rodgers. Burr was left out of that part so I wore it on my ear.
