Lin-Manuel Miranda diagnosed with shingles

-

Lin-Manuel Miranda will no longer be in the room where it (diaper changes) happens.

The Tony Awardwinni­ng mastermind of Hamilton announced Thursday that he has been diagnosed with shingles and quarantine­d from his eight-week-old son, Francisco.

The news came just a day after Miranda had mentioned having a terrible migraine, which would eventually be revealed as shingles.

“Hey, cool story,” Miranda tweeted. “This isn’t a migraine, it’s shingles!”

“Caught it early, quarantine­d away from the baby, in a Phantom mask til further notice,” Miranda quipped.

The Mary Poppins Returns star later clarified that he was not, actually, wearing a Phantom of the Opera mask, but not before Emmy Rossum — who played Phantom’s female protagonis­t, Christine, in the 2005 film version — informed him that she is available for duets. (Remember how Gerard Butler played the Phantom in that film? And how it was directed by Joel “Batman Forever” Schumacher? What a weird movie.)

Miranda also said he is currently staying with his parents nearby.
