Initially hesitant about his son performing a song from 'Hamilton' at the White House in 2009, Luis A. Miranda Jr. advised Lin-Manuel Miranda to stick with a familiar piece from 'In the Heights'.

Despite his father's advice, Lin-Manuel Miranda chose to perform an early version of 'The Hamilton Mixtape' at the White House, which was well-received and helped propel the song’s success.

Lin-Manuel Miranda first gained fame with 'In the Heights' in 2008, winning four Tony Awards, before creating 'Hamilton', which opened on Broadway in 2015 and earned 11 Tony Awards.

'Hamilton' started as a mixtape before becoming a Broadway sensation, and a film adaptation was released in 2020 to mark its tenth anniversary.

The 'Hamilton' film holds special significance, especially for families who haven't seen it on Broadway, with its release in theaters celebrating the milestone.
