In 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda badly needed a vacation. Heâd just won the Tony for his musical âIn The Heights,â heâd been going nonstop. So he took a break, bringing a book with him for poolside lounging: the 800-page biography of Americaâs first treasury secretary, Alexander Hamilton. But what started as a light beach read soon became an obsession. Lin HAD to bring this manâs incredible life to the stage. Thus began an epic journey: from the White House, to Lincoln Center, to (eventually) Broadway. âHamiltonâ became a massive success, scoring a record 16 Tony noms, the Pulitzer Prize, and $1B+ in revenue. But along the way, Lin and his team had to reckon with a problem: when your show about democracy becomes too exclusive, how do you bring it back to the people? Find out how Ham4Ham broke the Bâway mold, how a streaming deal with Disney+ set the stage for Taylor Swift, and why âHamiltonâ is the best idea yet.Â
