Lin-Manuel Miranda and his family re-created 'Sound of Music' in Austria

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Hamilton creator and former star Lin Manuel-Miranda made his first appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Friday and dished about his recent family trip to Austria.

"My dad got to live his dream," Miranda declared.

"The movie we saw the most growing up was The Sound of Music and my dad, in his own mind, was Maria von Trapp. So, we go on this Sound of Music tour and he hired a film crew and had us all sing 'Do-Re-Mi' in all the spots where they filmed the movie. Look at crazy, Puerto Rican Maria von Trapp," he joked as video of the family's excursion played in the background. "It was so crazy."
