The Man is Non-Stop! Lin-Manuel Miranda is AP's Entertainer of the Year
By: BWW News Desk Dec. 21, 2016
Add another honor to the list for Lin-Manuel Miranda! The HAMILTON and IN THE HEIGHTS creator has been named the Associated Press (AP) entertainer of the year!
According to AP, Miranda was voted for the award by members of the news and entertainer reporters. The category also included Beyonce, Adele, and fellow MOANA star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
In response of the honor, Miranda says, "There's been more than a little good luck in the year itself and the way it's unfolded. I continue to try to work on the things I've always wanted to work on and try to say yes to the opportunities that I'd kick myself forever if I didn't jump at them. I've been jumping from thing to thing and what's been thrilling is to see the projects that happen very quickly kind of exploding side-by-side with the projects I've been working on for years."
And work is never done for Lin-Manuel Miranda, who took to Twitter this morning to thank AP.
An absolute honor.
Thank you @AP!
Back to work. https://t.co/MqLRXnDzpp- Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) December 21, 2016
