Recently speaking withE! NewsaboutEncanto, Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created songs for the film, said he couldenvision a Broadway musical adaptationof the family movie. “I think it weirdly lends itself well,” he told the outlet.
“They don’t always, you know? Like, I can’t picture aMoanaBroadway musical. I don’t know how you’d do the ocean,” he said, adding, “My first draft of the last song in the movie, ‘All of You,’ was like seven minutes long. It was so late in production that they were like, ‘Lin, we won’t make the movie in time. You actually have to cut this down.’ So I’ve got the Broadway finale in the chamber.”

Whether it’s on the stage or in a spin-off movie or series, Miranda said he is down for moreEncanto: “There’s so many stories in that house, that it would be wonderful to expand on it.”
He told PEOPLE last month about theinspiration behindEncanto: “Our thesis for the film was, ‘Can we tell a story with three generations of family and really give them complexity without them getting winnowed away in the story making process?’ "
“Oftentimes in movies, you cut away unimportant characters, but we wanted to hold on to them. My first salvo in protecting them was writing the opening number, ‘The Family Madrigal,’ where I list everyone in the clearest family tree possible,” he added. “And ‘Bruno’ was the logical next step.”
