Friday I'm in Love: Lin-Manuel Miranda

In a world where it's easy to find so much news and information of the heartbreaking variety, knowing that Lin-Manuel Miranda is out there makes me feel better.

If you don't follow him on Twitter, you should.

Gnight!
Lay out your worries.
Some you'll pay down a bit every day, some evaporate upon being named.
Don't bring them into bed, they cast grotesque shadows and leave crumbs like a muhf***ker.
Sleep easy.

His inspirational twitter feed and his charity work (especially for Hurricane Maria victims) is Friday post-worthy, of course.

But he's also got this day job as a composer/lyricist/actor, perhaps you've heard?




Hamilton was Lin-Manuel Miranda's SECOND Broadway show. How flipping awesome. I mean, his first wasn't exactly a flop. . .




Now, I'll grant that the first two shows Sondheim worked on that made it to Broadway were impressive - West Side Story and Gypsy - but he only did the lyrics.

Not that I'm ranking musical theater composers or anything, but if I was. . .
