- Miranda's "corniness" has become a meme, as he embraces being an internet fixation
In the past week, Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of the acclaimed musical Hamilton, has been delighting fans with a series of unexpected public appearances across New York City.
Just last weekend, on October 16th, Miranda surprised attendees at a concert by jazz-pop singer Laufey in New York. He joined Laufey on stage to perform the Hamilton B-side "Best of Wives and Best of Women," a song that has gained popularity on TikTok. The day before, on October 15th, Miranda made another unannounced appearance, this time at a portrait installation by the viral Instagram account Humans of New York in Grand Central Station. There, he sat at a grand piano, playing a selection of his songs from Moana, Hamilton, and Encanto, occasionally singing or beatboxing.
Miranda's "corniness" has become a staple meme among Gen Z, and it seems the creator is leaning into his status as an internet fixation. As he fangirled on Instagram after the Laufey concert, "Doesn't it feel like Laufey can just do whatever she wants, and even though she's three albums in, we're still just at the beginning of her journey? Sky's the limit, truly. Only a matter of time."
With these recent surprise appearances, it's clear that Lin-Manuel Miranda is keeping fans on their toes, popping up in the most unexpected places. Where will he show up next? Fans will have to stay tuned to find out.
