As a renowned playwright, Lin-Manuel Miranda is known for his 2009 Broadway hit In The Heights and the 2015 instant-classic Hamilton, blending hip-hop and latin jazz into traditional musicals. Hamilton upped the Broadway marketing game by hyping the show on social media before its public debut. With sold-out shows for months, Lin-Manuel offers a $10 ticket lottery to fans each night and a #Ham4Ham performance for all contestants. He’s been nominated for two Tony Awards (winning one) and a Grammy, and received a MacArthur “Genius Grant" in 2015.
