Does Lin-Manuel Miranda Have a Tumblr Account? Let’s Find Out!
Ah, the tantalizing question of the ages: does Lin-Manuel Miranda have a Tumblr account? As of now, the answer is a big fat “Nope!” Lin-Manuel is not unleashing his Hamilton-inspired thoughts or sharing meme-worthy takes on Broadway on Tumblr. But hey, before you shed a tear for the lost potential of his Karen memes and rap battles with the likes of Alexander Hamilton, let’s wade into the wonderfully murky waters of why that might actually be for the best!
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room. Theatre fanatics seem to love using Twitter, Tumblr, and other platforms to plead for something that may appear to border on the absurd—bootlegs of live performances. That’s right, folks. Some dream of recording a majestic performance and broadcasting it to anyone with Wi-Fi, essentially saying: “I can’t afford $1,000 Broadway tickets—so why not just make the show available for free?” A bold strategy, huh? Not exactly the “I pay my way” kind of attitude you want for your favorite Broadway show. And Miranda’s response? A masterclass in sarcasm: “I want you to hear what I intended. I’m sorry theatre only exists in one place at a time, but that is also its magic.” Can I get an applause for that? 
Now, let’s dive into the elitist nature of theatre. Sure, it’s easy to slap on the “sucks to suck” mentality. But in reality, a lot of people have real constraints that prevent them from experiencing the magic of live shows—let’s not pretend the overpriced tickets are for everyone! While it’s fabulous that *Hamilton* is getting a recorded version, not every dream cast gets that sort of treatment. If you’re out there wanting to hear the legendary performers in shows like *Les Misérables*, you’re likely grasping at straws, hoping for some miracle bootleg to appear. 
Speaking of *Hamilton*—I mean, who doesn’t want to swoon over Leslie Odom Jr. and Anthony Ramos? But alas, in a chaotic world where some people think Thomas Jefferson is a total snack, let’s take a step back and appreciate the absurdity of it all. Imagine Mabel Pines from *Gravity Falls* crashing the political drama of *Hamilton*! Talk about an overlap that rocks the multi-verse!
Now, granted, some conversations can spiral into the tragic sitcom levels of cringe—the discussions about the implications behind the musical and its portrayal of capitalism, among other oh-so-light-hearted topics. We’ve all seen that play get dragged around Twitter and Reddit alike. So while everyone debates the significance of a handsome Federalist, it’s clear we’re all just here for the drama, right?
So while Lin-Manuel Miranda may not grace Tumblr with his presence, he continues to stir the pot of creativity and discussion through his myriad projects. And honestly, perhaps he’s doing us a favor! If you’re looking for community discussions, art, or even those spicy memes revolving around *Hamilton*, Tumblr thrives in other realms.
