He received the Kennedy Centre Honour in 2018.
Miranda made his Broadway debut in 2008, writing the music and lyrics for and starring in the musical In the Heights, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical and Best Original Score and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theatre Album. It was later adapted as a 2021 film of the same name. Miranda returned to Broadway in 2015, writing the script, music, and lyrics and starring in the musical Hamilton, which was praised by critics and became a widespread cultural phenomenon. Hamilton won the Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for a record 16 Tonys and 11, including Miranda's first win for Best Book of a Musical.

He starred as Jack in the musical fantasy Mary Poppins Returns (2018), for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe. For his performance in the Disney+ live stage recording of Hamilton, which was released in 2020, he received a Golden Globe & Primetime Emmy nomination. Miranda debuted as a film director with Tick, Tick...Boom!.
His television work includes recurring roles on The Electric Company (2009–2010) and His Dark Materials (2019–2022).
