It’s been quite the year for Grammy, Pulitzer, and multiple Tony winner, Lin-Manuel Miranda. So we thought we would fangirl over honour this insanely talented musician, composer, and modern day bard with his very own Top Nerdy 10 on why we adore him.
1. His resemblance to baby Dory
2. His affection for the people of Puerto Rico
3. His badass way of retelling history
4. His Broadway nerdiness
5. His freestyling prowess (& obsession with mixtapes)

And Lin’s greatest gift to the world, his music…
History has its eyes on him and we can’t wait what to hear the stories he will tell next.
Rise up,
