Lin-Manuel Miranda

A new review of You Had To Be There, a film about the celebrated Toronto production of Godspell, calls it "a crowd-pleaser." The show's cast became legendary, featuring performers such as Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Victor Garber, Paul Shaffer and Mike Myers, with Lin-Manuel Miranda also associated with the project. The review, written by Pet Doc Hill, highlights the film's broad appeal to theatre and film fans.

Viewers are praising the 2021 film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's musical In the Heights, giving it strong ratings and calling the movie version beautiful. Fans highlight the scale of the dance numbers and the film's message full of life and fun, with some saying they hope to one day see the original Broadway stage version.

Lin-Manuel Miranda traveled to Omaha, where he met with high school theatre students in an effort to inspire the next generation of performers. The visit by the 'Hamilton' creator and composer drew local attention, with students getting a rare chance to hear from one of Broadway's most influential figures.

A viewer has given Encanto (2021) a full five-star rating, calling it a perfect Disney movie full of heart and saying they never get tired of it. They describe it as magical and note that watching it completed a day spent with three works tied to Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the film's songs.
