Mondays are the worst. That’s why we have treasure of the American theater and soon of the big screen Lin-Manuel Miranda. He’s promoting his upcoming movie Moana which will hopefully give him an Oscar, which will make him the 13th person to obtain the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). Yesterday, he took over Disney Animation’s Instagram account to promote the film by singing some Disney songs, and all our dreams came true:
Aladdin– “One Jump Ahead”
Newsies– “Santa Fe”

Moana comes out in November. Until then, we’ll be watching these on repeat.
