What LinManuel Miranda Has Done Since Hamilton

What has Lin-Manuel Miranda been doing since the 2015 Broadway premiere of Hamilton? In July 2020, Disney+ sparked new interest in the popular musical by releasing a movie version of a 2016 live show, which introduced many subscribers to its creator and star for the first time. Here’s a career update for the multi-faceted Miranda.

In pop culture, Miranda is best known for Hamilton; a hip-hop-themed play about the life and times of Alexander Hamilton, an American immigrant who become one of the nation’s founding fathers. Miranda based his production on Ron Chernow’s 2004 biographical novel Alexander Hamilton, and initially conceived his adaptation as a “mixtape.” In the Broadway play, Miranda stars in the titular role, and also composed the music and lyrics.

Miranda isn’t necessarily a household name in American pop culture, but the release of Hamilton on Disney+ could change that. The play’s creator takes center stage from beginning to end, and the show will undoubtedly appeal to streamers who appreciate the fusion of American history and hip-hop. As a whole, it’s the mind behind the 200-minute production that may be the most intriguing of all.

Long before Hamilton took over Broadway, Miranda was already well-known in New York City’s theatre scene. He produced the music and lyrics for In the Heights, which led to a Tony Award win for Best Original Score, and also a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. The play initially premiered in 2005, and then debuted on Broadway in 2008. In between, Miranda made his TV debut in The Sopranos season 6, and also appeared in How I Met Your Mother season 9.

What Lin-Manuel Miranda Did After Hamilton

After Hamilton’s Broadway release, Miranda earned two more Tony Awards (Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score) and won a second Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Now a more familiar cultural figure, Miranda hosted Saturday Night Live, and voiced Shag Kava in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Still, Miranda’s biggest professional accomplishment, beyond winning a Pulitzer Prize for Hamilton, was co-writing the featured songs for Disney’s Moana, for which he earned a Best Original Song Oscar nomination (“How Far I’ll Go”).

In 2016, Miranda wrote two essays for The New York Times, and The Hamilton Mixtape reached #1 on the Billboard charts. He later collaborated with Jonny Sun for the 2018 book Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You. Miranda also voiced Crackerjack Sugarman in BoJack Horseman and various characters in DuckTales. On the big screen, Miranda has earned a bigger fanbase through roles in Mary Poppins Returns and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

A movie adaptation of In the Heights will be Miranda’s next big project. The film has been delayed twice due to a sexual misconduct scandal involving Harvey Weinstein (the original co-producer) and the COVID-19 pandemic, but is currently scheduled for a June 2021 release. Meanwhile, Miranda is working on songs for the animated feature Vivo, and will also compose original music for the 2021 version of The Little Mermaid, featuring Hamilton star Daveed Diggs. With a skill set that suits film, TV, and theatre, Miranda has proven his value in the always-evolving Streaming Era.
