The Hamilton creator and Moana songwriter is working on a new animated musical set in Colombia.
During an appearance on Monday’s Good Morning America, the Hamilton mastermind updated the show’s co-hosts on the status of new project he has in the works. “I’m actually writing a new animated musical with Disney Animation,” he said. “I’m collaborating with the Zootopia guys and Jared Bush, who wrote Moana with me. It’s set in Colombia, in Latin America and that’s all I can say before [Disney chairman] Bob Iger just shows up in my home.”
