The answer is "Yes, I would occasionally feel Jonathan Groff's spittle fall on me during performances."
And you know what? Worth it.

Everybody is singing LIVE, y'all. While dancing that hard. And sounding as good as THAT. Bravo to the amazing performers in our fam, I love you all
#HamilFilm
You guys, @RoryOMalley, who was brilliantly performing King George in Jun 2016 graciously took the performance off so that we could capture Groff in the film. You're a gentleman and I love you tons and I miss you!
#HamilFilm
I could TRY to prepare you for 's performance at the end of "One Last Time", but it'd be no use....because y'all ain't ready. When I watch it, my heart can barely take it. Love you, CJack! You are a gift

In honor of its 50th birthday, here are 50 seconds of The Beatles’ ABBEY ROAD at Abbey Road
I distinctly remember bursting into tears as I conducted the Finale. The second cheered “I’m home!” I was done for.
Opening Night on Bway, 10 years ago today.
Happy HEIGHTSiversary!
Wrong direction, I know, but still, y'all, THE Abbey Road crosswalk! (Lin holding his kid makes four)
In other news, we’re helping practice for Puerto Rico. This is him getting REALLY into “Cabinet Battle 2”

20 years ago today I pulled into NYC without a steady job nor a clear plan of what I'd do once I arrived; all I had was a burning wish to move here and make music for a living.
I love this city so damn much and I consider it a privilege to call it Home.
This photo is for our upcoming album.
Title suggestions welcome.

Please give it up for the PHENOMENAL orchestra, the Right Hand Band! Such a magical group of players and I can't imagine the score without them.

Hey, what a way to spend the day.... #Oscars

Excerpt from a phone conversation with earlier today:
[Lac expresses a thought]
Lin: I was thinking the same thing.
Lac: Well, get out of my head, then.
Lin: Well, I won’t because I have an office in there, so....
This is so expertly done that I can’t believe it’s not actually in the show

For those of us who love new musical theater: we live in a world that Sondheim built.
My spirit is low, and I swear the city is quieter than usual tonight with the knowledge that he’s gone.
Feeling thankful for all he created and for the awe he will continue to inspire.
❤️💔❤️
When and came over my apt to rehearse #FoundTonight, I got goose bumps the minute they started singing each other’s songs. I would tear up in the studio as I listened to the mix, thinking of the kids we made this for.
If you ever ask me to explain the meaning of the word "sublime," I will point you to 's performance in the 90 seconds of our show.
#Hamilfilm
Hey, , remember the night in 2014 when you came to learn the new song? Back when it was called “One Last Ride”? Me too.
Hey, :
Remember that time back in February when you spontaneously texted me a freestyle video?
That was awesome.
I remember the first time I got to watch 's performance in "It's Quiet Uptown" -- I lost it. So powerful.

Been waiting for this moment for 4 long and painful years.
Here’s to change, to healing, to decency, and to the power of our collective voices.

The task of arranging the music bed for our #HamilFilm trailer was left to the specialists.
Massive shoutout to c/o @yebomustang and #WilliamAugustHunt for their epic scoring!
(That key change, tho!)

Happy Birthday to THIS guy, whose brilliance knows no bounds.
Thank you for all that you do, bro -- the world is a better place with you in it.
Thanks papa!
I must give credit, tho: it was who proposed the "sisterhood" idea!! 👭

AND THAT'S @LacketyLac on the arrangement, y'all. #AndSisterhood
Keep watching and listening thru the credits until the very end so you can hear the Right Hand Band jam out on the Exit Music!

Got to visit Abbey Road and play the "Lady Madonna" piano. THE piano. I was in a daze all morning.
Happy Birthday, !
I’ll share a piano bench with you any day of the week because I love you kid

My heart swells every time I think of this show, our journey, the friends we made, and the impact it had. I’m prouder than words could ever describe.

I'll never forget hearing sing for the first time in her audition. A powerful and smoky and gorgeous voice -- we knew we'd found the gal for the gig. Miss you, Jas! strong!

Highlight for last show: him dropping the mic in Cab Battle #1 and intentionally not catching its fall. I howled.
this is absolutely brilliant and I'm willing to music direct/arrange/orchestrate/produce-cast-album someone call me📲

I’m remembering how my HEIGHTS buddies would come sit in the pit while I played or conducted. One of and ‘s early dates was hanging in the pit for the whole two acts. I’d look over and see them holding hands. ❤️

Looking forward to sharing it with you all come July 3!

I'm honored that Tommy Kail chose to keep those shots, to not lose sight of the fact that it's a live performance of a Broadway Musical. Glimpses of me in my natural habitat...

I just LOVE that in some songs you can see @LacketyLac head just bobbing up and down and the occasional hand doing his orchestra thing, warms my heart
When an advert appears at your tube stop the morning of your 1st preview....🇬🇧
If you have a pal that makes you laugh like this all the time, keep them and be ever grateful.
Happy Bday, Lin! To many more laughs and jams

So thrilled for @Lin_Manuel and the entire #Hamilfilm team! We’ve seen recently that the young and diverse America that you all represent and bring to life on screen is still here, still hopeful, and still blowing us all away.
If you auditioned for around '98, I was prolly your pianist and Ty Burrell was prolly your reader. Reunited with a trench pal!
From marveling at what our children built at #MarchForOurLives, being moved by their eloquence and strength...
To watching HEIGHTS at with my buds and being so proud of their production and of our show...
I had the perfect day in D.C. yesterday.
I have never cried so hard watching a commercial, woof.

It's not common to work on a Bway show where my note to the Sound Dept can read "I want to make sure there is enough booty shake/head nod there." This is one of the many reasons I love working on .
I love playing those jazz piano fills in "The Room Where It Happens"!

Being honored in this way by my alma mater means the world to me, you guys.
I’m over the moon with joy and I’m psyched to be grouped with these legends!
See y’all in May
