Everyone is buzzing about the new “Mary Poppins” live-action remake with Emily Blunt. Luckily, casting directors didn’t have to look too far to find a perfect costar when they cast Broadway’s own Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack! We went to Twitter to show why Theatre Nerds are “Ham” for Lin-Manuel!

The trip I took inside my eyelids was INCREDIBLE last night.
That's a weird way to say I slept good.
Hope you slept good.

I am thinking of my mom who in my most despairing moments said, "Remember how it feels. You'll need it. Write it down."
What a gift.

Gmorning.
Today the 1st generation of kids for whom Hamilton exists take the AP US History exam.
I've done all I can do to help.
G'luck!— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) May 6, 2016

Good morning.
Words fail us, often, but when we put em together the right way they can pull boulders out of us.
Keep working with 'em.— Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) April 27, 2016

You stage door your idols.
& sometimes with hard work, luck, and talent,
you grow up & they stage door you.

Though tickets to “Hamilton” might be out of reach, Lin never fails to keep us inspired, 140 characters at a time! Thank you, from Theatre Nerds everywhere!
