In a July 2015 interview with New York Magazine, Lin-Manuel Miranda says that the TV series The West Wing (1999) was a "huge" influence on his 2015 Broadway musical, Hamilton: "Like Hamilton, [The West Wing] pulls back the curtain on how decision-making happens at the highest level, or at least how you hope it would be. The amount of information Aaron Sorkin packs into a scene gave me this courage to trust the audience to keep up." Several song lyrics in Hamilton are quotations or paraphrases of West Wing scenes. In the song "The Schuyler Sisters," Angelica sings, "Eliza, I'm looking for a mind at work!," a reference to Sam Seaborn telling Ainsley Hayes, " before I look for anything, I look for a mind at work." In "That Would Be Enough," Eilza sings, "So long as you come home at the end of the day. That would be enough," a reference to President Bartlet telling his daughter Ellie, "The only thing you ever had to do to make me happy was come home at the end of the day." When Miranda took his curtain call after his final Broadway performance as Hamilton, the West Wing theme played for his bow.
