There's no rhyme or reason to deny that composer, rapper, lyricist and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda has crazy lyrical skills that are reflected in his comedic hip-hop improv show and Pivot TV series, Freestyle Love Supreme, or that he has the creative vision to write and star in a four-time Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical like "In the Heights." Well he's at it again, and theater lovers are in for another treat with the upcoming release of his latest off-Broadway musical, "Hamilton."
Tony and Grammy Award-winning, "In the Heights" composer-lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda knows how to grab the audience's attention, bring forth stellar performances and pay homage to Washington Heights.
Once again, he's is taking it back to the streets of 'The Heights,' but this time he's doing it through Pivot's new TV series, "Freestyle Love Supreme," the on-screen version of Miranda's popular stage show featuring freestyle rap.
Many people use the word "icon" loosely when singing a star's praises, though it's rarely truly justified. But sometimes the word and the subject are interchangeable, especially if it's a Latina trailblazer at the culmination of Hispanic Heritage Month.
