It’s officially been a decade since Hamilton redefined the possibilities of what a Broadway musical could be. The hit show, which opened in August 2015 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, has gone on to become a worldwide phenomenon. It has become part of pop culture and a touchstone for fans — movies and TV shows have all made references to the musical.
The four members of the juggernaut musical’s creative team — creator, composer, and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, director Thomas Kail, musical director Alex Lacamoire, and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler — were collectively awarded with a Kennedy Center honor in 2018 for their “trailblazing creation of transformative work.” Since then, the team has found continued success in a wide range of projects. Take a look at their most recent projects and what is on the horizon.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Warriors
Lin-Manuel joined forces with Pulitzer Prize finalist Aisa Davis to co-create Warriors—a 26-track concept album that pays tribute to the cult-classic 1979 film The Warriors. As a lifelong fan of the film, Miranda wanted to craft a love letter to its gritty, 1970s New York setting and its compelling narrative of street gangs and urban survival. To bring this ambitious project to life, Miranda gathered an all-star team of artists, including Lauryn Hill, Nas, Phillipa Soo, and Casey Likes, blending genres from hip-hop to R&B and musical theater.
Released in the fall of 2024, the album became an instant hit, offering a fresh, modern take on the film’s themes, while maintaining the spirit of the original. Although there are no immediate plans for a Broadway adaptation, Miranda and his collaborators have hinted at the possibility of a staged version in the future.
Hamilton’s 10th Anniversary
2025 marks a decade on Broadway for Hamilton, and the creative team is making sure to celebrate in unforgettable fashion. Over the past ten years, the musical has redefined the Broadway landscape, and its 10th anniversary festivities have paid tribute to its immense cultural impact.
The iconic Ham4Ham performances made a return, delighting fans with performances from original cast members as well as spotlighting many shows from the 2025 Broadway season.
The United Palace offered free screenings of movies starring original company members with a talk-back with Lin Manuel himself alongside a couple OGs such as Ariana DeBose, Leslie Odom Jr., and Renee Elise Goldsberry. Odom Jr. is also set to rejoin the cast for a limited time in the fall of 2025.
The 2025 Tony Awards featured an incredible reunion of the entire original Broadway cast, performing an electrifying mashup that once again proved Hamilton’s enduring relevance.
The anniversary celebrations are a testament to the musical’s far-reaching influence, but with Hamilton still going strong and new generations discovering it, who knows what’s in store for the next chapter of this groundbreaking production? One thing is certain: Hamilton‘s legacy continues to grow.
Mufasa: The Lion King
Working alongside composer Hans Zimmer and lyricist Phil Collins, Miranda infused the 2024 film’s soundtrack with his signature flair, seamlessly merging traditional African-inspired rhythms with his own genre-blending style.
Thomas Kail
Moana Live-Action
Kail is at the helm of Disney’s live-action Moana, one of the studio’s most anticipated upcoming releases. With a July 10th, 2026, premiere date on the horizon, the project reunites Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson with his iconic demigod role of Maui, while newcomer Catherine Laga’aia takes center stage as Moana herself. With Moana, Kail is once again directing a project feautring the music of Miranda.
Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie
Although dabbling in some TV/Film work, Kail will be back in his theater roots this winter, directing a bold revival of Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie at St. Ann’s Warehouse. The production stars Michelle Williams and Mike Faist, making it one of the most anticipated and buzzworthy shows of the upcoming Off-Broadway season.
Sweeney Todd Director
Kail’s most recent Broadway outing was the 2023 revival of Sweeney Todd, which gave the classic a sleek and cinematic edge, complete with a 26-piece orchestra and Tony-winning design work. The production was as grand as it was chilling, and Kail’s artistic vision didn’t go without notice– he picked up a Drama Desk Award for it!
Alex Lacamoire
Music Supervisor of New Gloria Estefan Musical Basura
Lacamoire is lending his talents to Basura, the new Gloria and Emily Estefan musical premiering at Atlanta’s Alliance Theater from May 30th to July 12th, 2026. As musical supervisor, orchestrator, and arranger, he is helping shape the show’s vibrant sound, which centers on the real-life Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay.
Andy Blankenbuehler
Bone Music Musical
Blankenbuehler has hinted at working on a new musical called Bone Music which investigates “bone music”, the Soviet-era practice of pressing banned recordings onto X-ray film. It’s set in the 1950s and is about teenagers in Russia who are willing to do just about anything to have the music they love.
Nine at the Kennedy Center
During the summer of 2024, Blankenbuehler directed and choreographed a production of Nine at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater. The revival emphasized physical storytelling and brought a fresh focus to the story’s female characters.
