Miranda wrote the book, music, lyrics and starred in Hamilton, the hip-hop saga about the rise and fall of founding father Alexander Hamilton that debuted on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2015. The show won 11 Tonys at the 2016 ceremony, including best musical, and is still currently playing on Broadway.

Lin-Manuel Miranda marked the musical's 10th anniversary by joining Leslie Odom Jr., Jonathan Groff and other cast mates for a chilling performance.
