Miranda recently made his feature directorial debut with Tick, Tick… Boom! which earned a SAG nomination for its lead actor, Andrew Garfield.

In a five-star review of Hamilton‘s Disney+ recording, NME wrote: “A period drama that obsesses over legacy, Hamilton changed the game when it first hit the stage and now this bold, brilliant and daring filmed version is set to do it all over again.”
