HAMILTON's Lin-Manuel Miranda has pretty much been the toast of the town since his revolutionary musical made the move from The Public Theater to Broadway. But so many success stories have humble beginnings and for Miranda it was at a piano recital playing "Camptown Races" when he was six years old.
His bio reads: "Lin-Manuel Miranda is six years old and is currently attending Hunter Elementary School in NYC where he studies, reading, science, French, computers, and art. Lin-Manuel loves to draw and aspires to be a famous artist. Other interests include puzzle-games, baseball and collection Wacky cards. Lin plans to visit his grandmother in Puerto Rico this summer and to acquire a Python snake."
