What can I possibly say about Lin-Manuel Miranda that you don't know already? The musical theater genius was already huge in that sphere and now is nearly a household name. Hamilton turns out to have been the most unlikely of combinations (founding fathers and hip-hop??) to catapult him to a pop culture phenom status far beyond the stage. With appearances on TV shows both big (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and small (My Brother, My Brother, and Me), voice performances for popular animated series such as BoJack Horseman and Duck Tales, scores and songs for huge films like Moana and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, SNL hosting, and more, he is seemingly everywhere these days.

Additionally, Miranda has been in the news for political reasons, speaking out publicly against President Trump for his idiocy surrounding the Puerto Rican disaster and organizing the creation of a charity song, "Almost Like Praying", which involved Latino artists from a variety of styles and different age groups collaborating to help fund relief efforts. He most recently paired with fellow theater star Ben Platt for a mash-up of Hamilton's "The Story of Tonight" and Dear Evan Hansen's "You Will Be Found" that benefitted the March For Our Lives. The two then performed the mash-up together at the March.

At this point, Miranda has racked up a Pulitzer Prize, three Tony Awards, three Grammys, an Emmy, an Academy Award nomination, and a MacArthur Fellowship. And has it been mentioned that he writes some of the most memorable music of our time?

One such piece of music comes from Hamilton and features singer and actor Jonathan Groff as King George III. "You'll Be Back" is unique in the production because it is completely devoid of hip-hop. Miranda says that this was on purpose, setting up the king as representing tradition and the Americans as rebels breaking from it. Groff himself has a massive list of impressive appearances in the entertainment biz. He did the voice of Kristoff in the massive Disney hit Frozen in 2013, was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his performance in Spring Awakening in 2006, and again was nominated for his peformance in Hamilton as well. He has acted on TV in Glee, Mindhunter, and the HBO series Looking. In Looking, Groff (who came out as gay in 2009) starred as one of a group of gay friends in a rare (and shortlived) series about the lives of gay men that didn't include a singular focus on their being oppressed, but instead portrayed the regular lives of the characters as any show would. His starring role in the show, as well as his being a publicly gay man in other major roles on and off the stage, led to his recognition in December 2015 by Equality Pennsylvania with the Bayard Rustin Award, which "recognizes a Pennsylvanian who is continuing the work to ensure that the LGBT community will be visible, accepted, and celebrated in our society."

Groff was not originally in the cast of Hamilton, joining for the Broadway run in place of Brian d'Arcy James, who had played the role Off-Broadway. Groff brought a fun, dandyish flare to the character that James had not, and Groff's George soon became a hit with audiences. With Miranda's incredibly catchy music and the flare that Groff brought to the King George role, this track is a stand-out in a musical full of them.
