Heat Street has learned from sources that before Lin-Manuel Miranda leaves the American phenomenon in July – as we exclusively broke last week – he will ensure the Treasury legend leaves on a high ‘note’.

Having previously resisted all offers, Manuel is set to film the glorious ‘Hamilton’ musical in its present state – with himself as the lead.
As Manuel moves on to other projects, fans around the world will mourn that they didn’t have the chance to see him perform the lead he wrote and won a Pulitzer prize for.
But there’s only so much of the genius to go around – and fans across the globe had no chance of getting in to see Manuel on stage anyway.
A movie solves this problem – democratizing the performance of greatness and allowing all America’s – and the world’s – schoolchildren and just general fans of great rap and high art to get a look in.
Trust Lin-Manuel Miranda not to throw away his shot – how lucky we are to be alive right now!
