TWITTER: HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda Selected As One Of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive

Brains are sexy, they say, so it only makes sense that recent MacArthur "Genius" Grant recipient, Hamilton's star and author, Lin-Manuel Miranda, has been selected as one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive for 2015.

The top spot went to soccer star David Beckham, but when you consider how many other men are alive in this world, being a runner-up is not too shabby.

It's been quite a year for the Tony-winner who first burst onto the scene as the composer/lyricist and star of IN THE HEIGHTS. Not only has he successfully incorporated hip hop into the Broadway vernacular, but his latest success has been breaking barriers by having its original Broadway cast album reach the top spot on Billboard's Rap Chart and even inspiring President Barack Obama to publically use it as an example of an effective way to help children learn and relate to American history.

And in case you're wondering, a sexy evening with this Broadway star is simply "Netflix and chill."

From the creative team behind the Tony Award-winning In The Heights comes a wildly inventive new musical about the scrappy young immigrant who forever changed America: AlexanderHamilton. Tony and Grammy Award winnerLin-Manuel Miranda wields his pen and takes the stage as the unlikely founding father determined to make his mark on a new nation as hungry and ambitious as he is.

From bastard orphan to Washington's right hand man, rebel to war hero, loving husband caught in the country's first sex scandal to Treasury head who made an untrusting world believe in the American economy, Hamilton is an exploration of a political mastermind. George Washington,Thomas Jefferson, Eliza Hamilton, and lifelongHamiltonfriend and foe,Aaron Burr, all attend this revolutionary tale of America's fiery past told through the sounds of the ever-changing nation we've become. Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail directs this new musical about taking your shot, speaking your mind, and turning the world upside down.
