The celebrated creator and original star of "Hamilton" (and subsequent MacArthur genius-grant recipient and Pulitzer Prize winner) will appear in conversation with Tribune theater critic Chris Jones at the Lyric Opera, 20 N. Wacker Drive. Jones says the evening will cover Miranda's theatrical upbringings, the path to his first Tony winner, "In the Heights," and, of course, the process of creating "Hamilton," the remixed Founding Fathers musical about Alexander Hamilton — an immigrant who went on to become the nation's first treasury secretary.
