Celebrity Substance: Lin-Manuel Miranda Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Tony and Grammy award winning creator, composer and star of Broadway's smash hit "Hamilton," has revolutionized Broadway with his hip-hop musical about the (previously) underappreciated founding father, Secretary of the Treasury and face of the 10 dollar bill, Alexander Hamilton. He remakes the founding fathers into contemporary Americans- all are people of color.
