'Hamilton' Musical Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda Worked on New 'Star Wars'
Broadway’s Hamilton has earned more love than any musical in 2015. The lion's share of that praise is owed to 35-year-old Lin-Manuel Miranda, the New Yorker who composed the period piece's lyrics, music and book. He also did the music and lyrics for In the Heights; both that show and Hamilton are known for their hip hop and R&B stylings. Oh, and Miranda was the original actor to star as President Alexander Hamilton.
Now Miranda and Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens director/co-writer J.J. Abrams have revealed they worked together on music for the new film. Here’s how it worked out:
