Lin-Manuel Miranda's Twitter world got very meta earlier this week.

On Thursday, the HAMILTON writer and star reached 96,000 followers on Twitter, or "Twitterico," as he calls it. To anyone else this might just seem like another high number, but this one has particular significance to Miranda and his fans. "96,000" also happens to be the name of the most famous song from his first Broadway show IN THE HEIGHTS.

In honor of this landmark unique and special to Miranda and fans, he gave theatre fans a treasure trove of demos. BroadwayWorld already brought you the first demo he released, an early draft of "My Shot" from HAMILTON, but we have even more! Below, check out demos from BRING IT ON, HAMILTON, and non-Broadway shows, 21 CHUMP STREET, and ELECTRIC COMPANY!
