Interview: Lin-Manuel Miranda

The Oscar nominations included one for Lin-Manuel Miranda for a song from the Disney animated film, Encanto. He’s also the man behind the musical 'Hamilton' who has just directed a film for the first time - which produced a best actor Oscar nomination for Andrew Garfield. It’s called Tick Tick Boom and is based on the story of Jonathan Larsen, who wrote the musical Rent but died on its opening night in 1996.
