Jason Brown will skate to music from the “Hamilton” soundtrack for his short program this season and at the Olympics, if he makes the U.S. team.
Brown announced the choice via a six-minute YouTube video.
Word reached Lin-Manuel Miranda, who responded in excited emoji form via the person handling his social media accounts.
Brown said he and his family have been Miranda fans since seeing his previous hit musical, “In The Heights,” which played near Brown’s suburban Chicago hometown in 2012. He has listened to the “Hamilton” soundtrack since it came out nearly two years ago.
