VIDEO: Lin-Manuel Miranda Dishes on Disney's MOANA, HAMILTON'S AMERICA, MARY POPPINS & More

Acclaimed actor, rapper and writer Lin-Manuel Miranda stopped by today's GMA to dish on his latest projects, including Disney's MOANA, the new PBS doc HAMILTON'S AMERICA and MARY POPPINS RETURNS. And in GMA's exclusive backstage video, Miranda plays a game of 'Heads Up' with Ginger Zee!

Speaking on Disney's new animated film MOANA, the Tony winner shares, "You know it's an interesting hybrid because it is in one sense an old-fashioned Disney musical, but it's also an action movie with this amazing young woman at the center of it." Watch the appearance in full below!

Miranda will soon begin filming MARY POPPINS for Disney, opposite Emily Blunt. He recently composed original music for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, and his original music will be featured in Disney's upcoming animated film MOANA.

Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for the musical In the Heights, which opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in March 2008. His written work for the show earned him numerous accolades, including the 2008 Tony Award for Best Original Score and the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Miranda's performance in the show's lead role of Usnavi earned him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical.

This year, Miranda received multiple TONY AWARDS for his work on HAMILTON. He is a 2015 recipient of the MacArthur "Genius" Award, and received the 2016 Edward Kennedy Prize for Drama.
