I think he’s a talented songwriter and musician. In the Heights and Hamilton wear great musicals. I’m into Broadway though.

He’s style is what it is though. I wasn’t in love with Encanto. Mostly because it was just more of the same. I’d heard these same songs before. It’s Latin influenced hip hop.

As far as acting, he’s weak. He was upstaged by others in Hamilton and he was not good in His Dark Materials.

Realistically, the last success on that scale was probably CATs in the mid-80s

Nah, since then there has been "Wicked", "Lion King", "Book of Mormon", "Chicago", "Rock of Ages" all that have been more popular than "Cats". That's just off the top of my head that I know have made way more money despite having shorter runs than Cats. There is a new "must see" Broadway show every few years now.

That’s the Karate Kid.
He has a revived show on Netflix called Cobra Kai.

Let me get this straight.

You are angry because a guy is famous for writing, producing and staring in hit Broadway shows?

Why the hell does that make you angry?

I don’t care about him.

Never heard of him

In fact, when I saw the title of the OP, I assumed this had something to do with an Asian Hispanic woman named Lin.

Created one of the most popular/successful stage musicals of all time and votes democrat.

That’s why Hollywood loves him.

He is a shitty leftist that made a shitty opera about one of the shittiest founding fathers in this nation’s history and racialized it.

That's more on the casting director. That part was miscast from the get-go, and LMM had no chance to succeed. It really should have been someone like Sam Elliott.

Nobody cares about him on a day to day basis.

He is damn talented and I enjoy his productions. He writes and produces a lot of song and soundtracks on movies

Encanto and Moana soundtracks were great, brought you back to Disney movies that had great soundtracks! Hamilton was stupid. For example, the guy who played Corlys Velaryon in House of the Dragon is of the same concept of Hamilton, but he did a phenomenal job and made you forget. Hamilton just sucked all the way around and made it obvious.

Apparently he's also behind the soundtracks for Moana and Encanto, two movies that are massively popular for their soundtracks.


As well as the abortion of a "song" in the awful new Little Mermaid movie
