4. Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lin-Manuel Miranda has made waves this year for his hit musical Hamilton, but Lin himself is pretty amazing. Trying to bring as much joy to the world as he can, the In the Heights got his start on Broadway and continues to stay true to his home.

He loves the theater and has made that much clear as he geeks out continually over musical theater legends loving his work. But you know what he did before anyone else? He brought rap music into musical theater geeks’ lives. With In the Heights, he made a bunch of geeky kids think they could rap and there is something very special about that.

Before Hamilton, Lin gave us all In the Heights and showed us just how much he loved his up-bringing and those he was surrounded with growing up in Washington Heights. We have all learned this year that Lin is an all around great person, but he also has single-handedly changed the face of Broadway.

He is a great person and an amazing song writer. He might not be the best singer in the world, but none of us really care. We love Lin-Manuel Miranda and that’s all that really matters.
