.Lin_Manuel reflected on leaving the Broadway cast of Hamilton and being a 'selfie magnet' in New York during his Variety cover shoot in 2016
. Hundreds of Hamilfans turned out to celebrate the hip-hop founding-father bio-musical that had become an unlikely pop culture behemoth, attracting enthusiasts from the Obamas to J.J. Abrams, winning 11 Tony Awards and serving as a cultural standard-bearer for the power of diversity.
Across 46th Street, a fan had painted a giant bust of Miranda in costume as Hamilton, propping it up for display against the Church of Scientology. A couple of scalpers hawked tickets, going for anywhere between $2,000 and $600. As the evening went on, the performance packed an unusual wallop. The emotions in “It’s Quiet Uptown,” the musical’s second-act song of devastation and reconciliation, seemed particularly profound for Miranda and Soo, and the rapt crowd hung on every word, only rustling to get out the tissues for a house-wide case of sniffles.
Miranda didn’t say any special words, but the orchestra had a surprise prepared for him. Midway during the curtain call, the band, led by music director Alex Lacamoire, played a snippet of the theme from “The West Wing,” in a nod to the political TV series that Miranda has acknowledged as one of his major influences in the creation of “Hamilton.”
