History Has Its Eyes on Lin-Manuel Miranda as He Reveals His Wax Figure at the Richard Rodgers Theatre—With Jimmy Fallon as Emcee

History Has Its Eyes on Lin‑Manuel Miranda — Now Immortalized in Wax at Madame Tussauds New York
From the stage to the spotlight in Times Square, Lin‑Manuel Miranda has officially taken his place in history — as the newest wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York.

The reveal comes at a major moment for Broadway fans: the 10th anniversary of Hamilton. And in true star-studded fashion, Jimmy Fallon helped unveil the figure just one day before the milestone performance, surprising Lin in front of family, friends, longtime collaborators, and press.

Dressed in full Hamilton regalia — think iconic dark green coat, gold buttons, cream vest and breeches, and knee-high boots — the figure captures Miranda in the role that redefined modern musical theater. The look was designed by none other than Paul Tazewell, the visionary behind Hamilton’s award-winning costumes and countless other stage and screen favorites.

From In the Heights to Hamilton, Miranda’s impact is undeniable — and this wax figure is a tribute to the legacy he continues to build. With Grammys, Emmys, Tonys, and even a Pulitzer under his belt, he’s become a true cultural powerhouse whose work goes far beyond Broadway.

But before Lin's wax twin makes its permanent home at Madame Tussauds New York, it will make a special guest appearance at Hamilton’s invite-only 10th anniversary celebration at the Richard Rodgers Theatre — the very stage where it all began.

For fans who’ve rapped along to every lyric, or simply admire Lin’s game-changing contributions to the arts, this is your shot to stand face-to-face with the man behind the revolution.
