WOW! No mention of 'Hamilton'?


How can we talk about Lin-Manuel Miranda, and not mention "Hamilton"? The historical musical that's taking Broadway by storm. Miranda is the composer, lyricist and preformer of the title role of Alexander Hamilton. This musical is amazing! It's history with a hip-hop spin.

It's called the Internet Movie Data Base, not the Internet Movie And Broadway Data Base. They are not purposefully leaving that information out because they don't like it or something, it simply isn't something that IMDB records. When (not if, obviously, when) it is filmed for TV or made into a movie, then it will be covered by IMDB.

That's correct, but a contributor could add it to Trivia or Other works for
Lin-Manuel Miranda, and it would be on his IMDb page, just not under his list of film or television appearances. BTW, anyone can be a contributor.

There's already an internet Broadway database that covers that info. https://www.ibdb.com/

As soon as "Hamilton" is turned into a movie musical event - hopefully with the next five to ten years with the original Broadway cast, with an excellent director helming the movie and, as a vain cinematic wish, as a roadshow presentation similar to the "Dreamgirls" release back in 2006 - I'm sure Lin-Manuel Miranda's IMDb cred will probably center almost exclusively around it. And everything he's doing for Disney right now, if they're good.

I'm seeing it next year and I can't wait! I love Miranda it takes a talented person to write and star in a hit Broadway play! But there is a lot more to Lin then Hamilton, granted it put him on the map and he is now even hosting SNL next weekend but there's more to him than that.

"It's called the Internet Movie Data Base, not the Internet Movie And Broadway Data Base"If IMDB only has info on actors in TV and movies, then why are video game voice actors on here too?
