THE TALENTED
https://english0905.com/private/
LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA

(1) The musical Hamilton opened in 2015 and it became
a roaring success (No sooner), first at the Public Theatre
in Lower Manhattan and then on Broadway, launching
its creator Lin-Manuel Miranda to immediate stardom.
(2) Miranda could never have predicted Hamilton’s
incredible worldwide appeal (Under no circumstances),
but the number of accolades it’s received speaks for https://english0905.com/private/
itself. (3) It won 11 Tony awards, 8 Drama Desk Awards,
a Grammy, an Emmy and a Pulitzer Prize (Not only).
(4) His remarkable talent for writing songs that can
communicate huge amounts of emotion and depth in
relatively few words became apparent then (Only then).
Disney were quick to spot this gift. His collaboration
on the 2016 film Moana and the 2021 film Encanto,
saw him picking up two grammys and receiving two
Academy Award nominations, both for Best Original
Song. In fact, (5) shortly after the latter film was
released on Disney+, the song We don’t talk about
Bruno, became an international hit (Scarcely), reaching
number one on US Spotify and becoming the top
trending music video on YouTube.
Despite his extraordinary triumphs as a songwriter,
actor, singer, filmmaker and playwright, Miranda himself
suggests that his success might not have happened at
all (6) if it were not for two influential people in his life
(were it), his long-time university friend and director
Thomas Kail and his wife, Vanessa Nadal.
Whatever he turns his attention to next, whether it be
more musical theatre or directing for the big screen, you
can be sure that Lin-Manuel Miranda is here to stay.
