半岛体育

Tony winner Lin-Manuel Miranda is taking fans inside the room where it happened.

The composer-lyricist and actor has shared with 半岛体育 nine logo treatments for his Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamilton that were originally considered when the musical premiered nearly a decade ago.

Miranda, who also created the Tony-winning In the Heights, first posted the logos on , writing, "From the What-If Department: I鈥檒l never forget the @spotco meeting about our Hamilton artwork for Broadway, because I鈥檝e never had one before or since. Drew Hodges (who has since retired) walked us into a room with 40+ designs pinned to the wall and said, 'So we鈥檝e had all our artists create pitches. You know your show best. We want you to take a look at all of them and take down all all the posters that don鈥檛 feel to you like your show.' A half hour later, these nine finalists and the one you know well (which took another quantum leap with the silhouette pics of our company by @murphymade) were still on the wall."
