For the first time in his career, and assisted by Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Lin-Manuel Miranda performed a medley of the Encanto songs he wrote.
After recounting the film’s soundtrack’s accomplishments – including how “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is “the biggest Disney song of all time” – the talk show host asked Miranda if he’d ever performed the tracks live, and Lin-Manuel answered “I never have.”
In character of the soundtrack’s Best Original Song-nominated “Dos Oruguitas” the duo donned matching caterpillar costumes and performed a medley of the Miranda-written songs. After singing the ballad, the pair put fake muscles for “Surface Pressure,” played toy accordions for “The Family Madrigal” and, finally, the hit “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” alongside a dance troupe.
