Hamilton creator and one of the last pure, good things left in this world Lin-Manuel Miranda stopped by The Late Show on Tuesday. Sure, he’s got a new book out, a typically delightful-looking collection of his Twitter aphorisms and original drawings (because of course the noted polymath can draw, too), but he and host…

Last night, the audience for the London production of Hamilton included a guy named Prince Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor, Duke of Sussex, KCVO. He was there (with wife Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex) to raise money for his charity and, presumably, to weep ugly tears through “It’s Quiet Uptown.” …

Welcome to Development Hell, the fiery pit into which we fling recent developments in casting, distribution, and everything else that’s new and mildly interesting in the Boschian phantasmagoria of the entertainment industry.

There are marches and events running around the country today, as people come out in droves to protest America’s current immigration policies, and especially the governmental decision to separate children from their families and place them, by the hundreds, in detention and holding facilities. (Donald Trump eventually …

For his latest “Hamildrop,” Lin-Manuel Miranda has teamed up with fellow Tony winner Ben Platt, star of Dear Evan Hansen. Yesterday, the Hamilton creator and Broadway actor shared their collaboration, which combines “The Story Of Tonight”—in which four young rebels toast to life, liberty, and the pursuit of…

For all their individual achievements and talents, there aren’t three bigger goofballs than Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jimmy Fallon, and “Weird Al” Yankovic, as shown on Friday’s Tonight Show. Sure, Miranda is one letter short of an EGOT, Al is a quadruple Grammy winner and musical human joy machine, and Fallon... has his…

“Weird Al” Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda, both maestros in their different ways, have now merged with Yankovic’s Hamilton polka parody, filtering Miranda’s dynamic hit musical through the exuberantly goofy medium of Yankovic’s accordion. Though produced independently, “The Hamilton Polka” was released this morning…

In news that might be good for Hamilton fans—but bad for those sincerely looking for erotic footage of “revolutionary twinks”—it looks like admirers of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s breakout historical musical might have a new venue in which to indulge their love of rhythmically rhyming founding fathers: PornHub.

Hamilton’s been around for long enough at this point that at least a little bit of the freshness surrounding Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking hip-hop historical musical has inevitably rubbed off. Still, Miranda’s not one to rest on his laurels; a year after releasing the well-received Hamilton Mixtape, he announced…

Celebrities: They’re just like us… in the sense that we all occasionally get too high and start crying about stuff in front of our friends and sometimes our dealer. The difference is that most celebrities are savvy enough to have someone film their breakdowns so they can later post them on social media. That’s exactly…

Human musical joy machine and recent Hollywood Walk of Fame honoree Lin-Manuel Miranda was his usual charming self on last night’s Late Night. He can afford to be a little breezy these days, what with him having turned over the title role of his game-changing Broadway smash Hamilton to the reportedly outstanding…

Riz Ahmed has been in everything lately, and the latest thing he’s in is an appropriately political music video for the version of “Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)“ that he (as Riz MC), K’naan, and Residente recorded for the Hamilton Mixtape. The video has kind of a Snowpiercer vibe, with people living on a train as…

Karaoke king Lin-Manuel Miranda will perform tonight at the Oscars—where he could end up getting the last trophy in his potential EGOT—but he began his evening by being serenaded. Ryan Seacrest surprised the actor/composer during his red carpet interview with a video of the Broadway cast of Hamilton performing a…

Fans of the McElroy brothers from My Brother, My Brother And Me—now a pretty fantastic TV show on Seeso—know that Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda is a massive fan of the podcast, slipping references to it into most of his public appearances and even Hamilton itself. (He also shows up on the TV show, narrating its…

At age 36, Lin-Manuel Miranda is one Best Song win at February 26’s Oscars away from becoming the youngest EGOT of all time. But whether he nabs that unofficial honor (for Moana’s “How Far I’ll Go”) or not, Miranda isn’t done with movies. Talking to The Hollywood Reporter on their Awards Chatter podcast, Miranda…

Hamilton’s original Angelica, Eliza, and even its Peggy are getting together once again for a Super Bowl performance. Entertainment Weekly reports that Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Jasmine Cephas Jones—the actresses who first played the Schuyler sisters in the Tony-winning musical—are set to sing “America…

This week’s question comes from A.V. Club contributor Becca James:

Lin-Manuel Miranda has for the most part moved on from Hamilton as a performer, but he announced on Twitter that he’ll make a special appearance in the Chicago production for a specific audience member. Miranda said he’ll once again assume the title role in his award-winning musical when Oscar López Rivera—whose…

The many loves of the always enthusiastic Lin-Manuel Miranda include rap and The West Wing. Just as he fused the former with historic American politics in Hamilton, he has now combined it with Aaron Sorkin’s beloved drama in the newly released track titled “What’s Next?” In the verses, Miranda finds a way to work in…

At what point does mere fandom or admiration spill over into all-consuming obsession? The answer can probably be found somewhere in Shirley Wu’s staggeringly thorough “interactive visualization” of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s historical hip-hop musical Hamilton. Wu’s unique project, both impressive and a little frightening,…
