Happy pub day to my great friend @pollackpelzner and his extraordinary biography of Lin-Manuel Miranda. This book is such a delight. It tells Lin's story through the lens of how he became such an incredible artist. It's fast-paced, funny, humane, and the perfect book for -people interested in Lin-Manuel/Hamilton -artists seeking their own path forward -parents who want to gift their creative kids the tools they need for success -humans interested in human things I truly loved it and truly believe you will too!

One of my best friends in college wrote the definitive biography of Lin-Manuel Miranda. He sat down with Lin-Manuel a dozen times & interviewed 150 people --from his mother to musical theater masters. It's about the pursuit of the creative life. Andrew Lloyd Webber said, "This insightful biography of the most life enhancing musical theatre figure of his generation is essential reading". You can pre-order it here!! simonandschuster.com/books/Lin-Manu…

My favorite intersection.

🐍⁦@accommodatingly⁩ puts the “villain” in “villanelle”! via ⁦@nytimes⁩

It’s true! A centuries-long buildup to the immortal vampire line, “Can you count, suckers?”

It’s fun to hear @jordanfisher voice cultural templates for Keiko, the orca who vanished at sea and then reappeared. Was he Finding Nemo, dislocated from his clan? Was he Evan Hansen, an outsider longing for acceptance? Or the Little Mermaid, eager to be part of our world?

My favorite new musical: @serial got @pasekandpaul to write a sea chanty for a killer whale. Is it almost a parody of my liberal fantasies? Yes. Is it also haunting, clever, and searching, befitting human attempts to describe the orca himself? Yes. 🐳🎶🌊 open.spotify.com/episode/7Jbote…

ME: Not really feeling Moana 2. MY DAUGHTER: Et tu, Brute?

The songs in Moana 2 are terrible. I wrote about what Lin-Manuel Miranda brought to Disney, and what we’ve lost without him. vulture.com/article/after-…
