Nadal shared other memories about the making of "Hamilton" that delighted fans who were also watching the movie when it premiered on Friday.
For example, Nadal wrote that when Miranda was initially writing the musical, she often reminded him to give the female characters more opportunities to rap.
"REWIND REWIND. As he wrote it, I often reminded @Lin_Manuel he had to give the women more raps and then he gave HER THE BEST RAP IN THE SHOW YASSS," Nadal wrote, later saying that she was referencing the actress Renée Elise Goldsberry, who plays the "Hamilton" character Angelica Schuyler.

"To be clear the women always had lines, but they were sung. I just wanted more fast rapping," Nadal wrote.
