On the 212th anniversary of Hamilton’s death, the playwright has come to this place, situated among the skyscrapers in Manhattan’s financial district, to commemorate the American founding father who inspired his Tony-winning, smash-hit, Broadway musical.
Today, at Trinity Church, fans are clustered on the other side of a wrought iron fence, buzzing with excitement when they see Miranda. One of them wears a “Hamilton & Washington & Jefferson & Madison & Burr” T-shirt. Another has a lyric from the show tattooed on her forearm. Miranda heads over to chat, take selfies, and sign the souvenir program that one of them happens to be carrying with her. Heads turn, and onlookers gather.
Miranda has spent his life as a New Yorker, part of a close-knit family that includes his political-consultant father, his clinical-psychologist mother, and his sister, who is now CFO of the MirRam Group, the consulting firm their father co-founded, as well as Miranda’s own production company, 5000 Broadway Prods.
A year after Miranda graduated, in 2002, a reading of “In the Heights” in the basement of New York’s Drama Bookshop connected him to the producers who ultimately put the show on Broadway. Three of those same producers — Jeffrey Seller, Sander Jacobs, and Jill Furman — went on to back “Hamilton.” “If you grow up in New York City and you’re paying attention, you have a better spidey sense than anyone. It prepares you well for the rest of the world. You learn to listen to the hair on the back of your neck.”Indeed, “In the Heights” producer Seller was on board for “Hamilton” even when it was just a concept album.Now, more than ever, Miranda has a lot on his plate.
“I think some of them might be movies, and some of them might be the germ of a TV series, and one of them might be a stage show,” he says, refusing to give specifics. “We didn’t get the particular Latin star they wanted” — Miranda won’t say who — “and it went into turnaround,” he recalls. “It taught me that the more money something is, the more strings are attached to it. Controlling the size of the thing buys you freedom.”While he may have finished his Broadway performances in “Hamilton” in early July, the stage show remains very much on the front burner as the musical expands — first to Chicago, in a production that opens Oct.
Now that “Hamilton” has launched him into the pop culture firmament, Miranda’s idea of his legacy also encompasses social and political changes.For instance, he’s using his “Hamilton” popularity — and the role he’s played in helping get young people interested in American history and politics — to encourage voter turnout in November through a series of PSAs backed by the “Hamilton” production and 5000 Broadway Prods.
