Demos and cut songs from "In The Heights" and "Hamilton" written by Lin-Manuel Miranda

Demos and cut songs

Before Laurens and Lafayette came along, my first draft of My Shot was just Hamilton and an extended 2nd verse from Hercules Mulligan. Here is that demo.

My Shot First Draft

In 2014 I wrote a 15 minute musical for This American Life. This is my first rough pass as Everybody's Got a Cousin from that show.

Everybody's Got A Cousin First Pass

My demo for Silent E Is A Ninja, which I wrote for The Electric Company and performed with Chris "Shockwave" Sullivan.

Silent E Demo!

This was a song I wrote for Lincoln, Nina Rosario's (now extinct) brother in a 2005 draft of In The Heights. The setup: Kevin is handing him the keys to the family business, but Lincoln wants to be a songwriter.
That's me singing, Alex Lacamoire on keys.
