This morning, Miranda tweeted that Muñoz (who also understudied him in Broadway's In the Heights) will go on as Alexander Hamilton April 3 and April 8.
Miranda said, "He illuminates new shades, he teaches me… to that end, we're finding ways to put him on once a week. I'll always give you a heads up on here."
