STAGE TUBE: Lin-Manuel Miranda Raps for Weslyan Alumni

Broadway favorite Lin-Manuel Miranda, a graduate of Weslyan University, recently visited his alma mater, where he (in true Miranda style) rapped and spoke at the Alumni Association's annual meeting. Check out what he had to say below!

Miranda is most famous for writing and starring as Usnavi in the Broadway musical In the Heights, which opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2008 and for which he won the Tony Award as composer and lyricist. He also wrote Spanish language dialogue and worked with Stephen Sondheim to translate into Spanish song lyrics for the revival of West Side Story, which opened on Broadway in March 2009.

Most recently he worked on the musical theatre version of Broadway-bound Bring It On, inspired by the 2000 cheerleader comedy film of the same name.
