Most people found out about the genius of Lin-Manuel Miranda with the emergence of Hamilton, a musical, based on the life of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. I know, it sounds boring, but this show has changed lives all over the world. But, Hamilton was not his first rodeo. He is well versed in all things theatre with another musical of his, In the Heights, winning four Tony Awards in 2008, including the one for Best Musical. When it comes to Hamilton, Lin wrote the book, Music and Lyrics, and plays the title character. The show broke records at this year's Tony Award nominations with 16 total.
