Happy Birthday: Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Born: January 16, 1980 in New York City, New York, USA

Miranda won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for writing the book, music, and lyrics for Hamilton: An American Musical. The citation read, “A landmark American musical about the gifted and self-destructive founding father whose story becomes both contemporary and irresistible.”

[Miranda’s June 12, 2016, acceptance speech (in the form of a sonnet) after winning a Best Score Tony Award for “Hamilton: An American Musical.” The speech was a tribute to the almost fifty people who had been murdered earlier that day in an attack on a gay club in Orlando, Florida.]
