Miranda

The “Hamilton” creator made his feature film directorial debut with 2021’s well-reviewed “Tick, Tick… Boom!” musical on Netflix, guiding star (and singer) Andrew Garfield to an Oscar nomination in the process. Miranda also penned last year’s ubiquitous (especially if you’re in the vicinity of children) anthem “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” for Disney Animation’s “Encanto,” a song that took on a life of its own thanks to the virality of TikTok, leading it to become Miranda’s first chart-topper on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. He is now helping to polish a live-action adaptation of family classic “The Little Mermaid” for Disney via his 5000 Broadway prodco, alongside fellow musical producer Marc Platt. The film will swim into theaters in 2023 with new songs co-composed by Miranda.

With one “Encanto” song — the ubiquitous “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” — at No. 4 on Variety’s 2022 Hitmakers year-end list and another (“Surface Pressure”) just outside the top 25, the Grammy, Emmy, Tony and Pulitzer winner talked about how the songs came...
