ⓘ About Lin-Manuel Miranda
Attending Hunter College Elementary School, followed by Hunter College High School, he was a gifted student from the beginning. Going on to Wesleyan University, he’d create what would be his first Broadway musical there ‘In The Heights’ in 1999, initially performing it for the university. Married to the lawyer Vanessa Nadal in 2010, they’d both have their first son, Sebastian, in 2014, and Miranda continues to write and perform to this day. This would be an earlier work from the award winning composer, with it being well known in its own right, having toured extensively. With themes of family and loyalty, it’s a heart-warming story that definitely hits all the right notes on a consistent basis throughout.
