Lin-Manuel Miranda Hugging Strangers Is What You Need Right Now

Lin-Manuel Miranda is the genius who gave us Hamilton, the charming male lead of Mary Poppins Returns, and human sunshine. He’s good for what ails you. And he’s taking his warm message of love, hope, and hugs to the streets of New York with Billy Eichner’s latest Billy on the Street adventure.

Watch Miranda hug and delight starstruck strangers here. But keep the volume down, because you know our boy Billy’s going to have his outbursts!

HERE IT IS!!!! New BILLY ON THE STREET with @Lin_Manuel!!!! Watch Lin and I hit the street to find out if ANYBODY IS HAPPY. pic.twitter.com/QbmScrH1qo
