Watch: Jennifer Lopez Is Ready to Win a Tony!

Jennifer Lopez has some very big Broadway dreams.

She recently collaborated with Hamilton's Lin-Manual Miranda on "Love Make The World Go Round," a tribute and benefit for those affected by the shooting at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub. Miranda told E! News Monday he hopes to collaborate with Lopez again "under better circumstances," and J.Lo feels the same way. But she doesn't want to work with Manuel on just any project on the Great White Way—she wants it to top the success of Hamilton the Musical!

"He's going to write me this amazing thing—it's going to be better than Hamilton," Lopez joked. "I'm going to star in it. I'm going to win the Tony."

"No pressure," Manuel deadpanned. "Better than Hamilton, no pressure. Seven years of my life!"

"You can take your time," Lopez playfully reassured him. "It'll be fine. I'll be here."

Manuel will likely have some more time to brainstorm now that he's taken his final bow as the creator and star of Broadway's biggest hit. So what will he do with his Hamilton days behind him? Watch the video above to see what he has to say about that, working with Lopez and much more. Plus, make sure to download "Love Makes The Love Go Round" on iTunes. Miranda, Lopez and Epic Records are proudly donating 100% of their proceeds (at least ninety-one cents) from each U.S. download sale of the single on iTunes from July 8, 2016 to October 5, 2016 to the Hispanic Federation for the Somos Orlando Fund, to benefit those affected by the shooting at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub.
