TWITTER WATCH: Boy Genius? HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda Posts Puberty Pic

At this point Lin-Manuel Miranda's life there were a million things he hadn't done, but as a certain Tony Award winning, MacArthur "Genius Grant" recipient once wrote, "Just you wait, just you wait."

Could this young guy have ever dreamed that the President of the United States would call a musical he wrote an example of the kind of creativity needed to teach history to our kids? Or that the Rockefeller Foundation would finance a program to help thousands of New York City high school students to see his show on Broadway?

Lin-Manual Miranda's Hamilton is crossing over from being a smash hit Broadway show into becoming a more indelible contribution to American culture. Only time will tell what kind of influence Hamilton, IN THE HEIGHTS and the Lin-Manuel Miranda musicals still to come may have on 21st Century theatre.

Never throw away your shot, kids. Never throw away your shot.

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.
