Background[]
Lin-Manuel Miranda is an American composer, lyricist, playwright, and actor best known for creating and starring in the Broadway musicals Hamilton and In the Heights.
Born in 1980 in New York City, Lin-Manuel Miranda developed a devotion to musical theater and hip-hop before attending Wesleyan University. He wrote and starred in the Tony-winning 2008 musical In the Heights before working on additional Broadway productions and making screen appearances. Inspired by reading Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton, Miranda eventually developed the musical Hamilton, a groundbreaking work that tells the story of the U.S. Founding Father with hip-hop/R&B musical forms and a black and Latino cast. With Miranda in the titular role, the production was a phenomenal success commercially and critically, winning the Pulitzer Prize and 11 Tony Awards in 2016. In 2017, Miranda was nominated for an Oscar for composing the song "How Far I'll Go" from the animated film Moana. He is currently set to star in the Mary Poppins sequel, Mary Poppins Returns.
Preliminary[]
Lin-Manuel Miranda's preliminary performance in Episode BC03 consisted of performing his song "Alexander Hamilton" from the musical Hamilton. Mike, Saf, Pennies and Fresh all gave him standing ovations. His performance was strong enough for the judges to send him to Judge Cuts instead of Scatman John.
