Speaker 1: American Idol finale, and you also caught the incredible preview
0:07
Speaker 1: of the upcoming In the Heights movie, based on the
0:09
Speaker 1: hit musical by Lynn Manuel Miranda that launched his Broadway
0:13
Speaker 1: career before Hamilton's. The movie looks like it's going to
0:15

0:17

0:23
Speaker 1: him to handle his other baby as well, none other
