Miranda wrote the earliest draft of what would become his first Broadway musical, In the Heights, in 1999, during his sophomore year of college at Wesleyan University.

Miranda wrote and directed several other musicals at Wesleyan and acted in many other productions, ranging from musicals to William Shakespeare. He graduated from Wesleyan in 2002.{{cite news |url=https://www.vulture.com/2008/03/linmanuel_miranda_of_in_the_he.html |title=Lin-Manuel Miranda of In the Heights on No Longer Being in the Heights |last=Murphy |first=Tim |date= March 7, 2008 |work=Vulture |access-date=August 26, 2008}}

While on vacation in 2008, Lin-Manuel Miranda had read Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton. Inspired by the book, he wrote a rap about Hamilton that he performed for the White House Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word on May 12, 2009, accompanied by Alex Lacamoire. Miranda later said he spent a year writing the Hamilton song "My Shot", revising it countless times so that every verse would reflect Alexander Hamilton's intellect.{{cite web|title=Lin-Manuel Miranda Performs at the White House Poetry Jam: 8 of 8|url=https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/photos-and-video/video/lin-manuel-miranda-performs-white-house-poetry-jam-8-8|access-date=July 11, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180501160922/https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/photos-and-video/video/lin-manuel-miranda-performs-white-house-poetry-jam-8-8|archive-date=May 1, 2018|date=May 12, 2009|via=National Archives|work=whitehouse.gov|url-status=live}} By 2012, Miranda was performing an extended set of pieces based on the life of Hamilton, which he referred to as the Hamilton Mixtape.

In order to raise money for Puerto Rico's reconstruction after being struck by hurricanes Irma and María, including at least $15 million to be channeled through the Flamboyán Foundation, Lin-Manuel decided to take, and once again play the protagonist role in Hamilton to his father's native Puerto Rico. The Miranda family donated approximately $1 million to bring the University of Puerto Rico theater up to par in order to use it as the venue for the musical's performance in January 2018. After tickets sold out in two hours for the three-week run, producers decided to move out of the university venue due to warnings of potential disruptions by a university workers' labor organization, and move the already-installed set to the Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center in Santurce, where the performances ran from January 11 to January 27. The production donated additional hundreds of thousands of dollars in improvements to the Ferré Performing Arts Center.{{cite web|url=https://www.elnuevodia.com/entretenimiento/musica/nota/agradecenalaproducciondehamiltonmejorasalcentrodebellasartes-2469237/ |title=Agradecen a la producción de "Hamilton" mejoras al Centro de Bellas Artes |website=Elnuevodia.com |date=January 5, 2019 |access-date=April 27, 2020}}

In 2016, Miranda advocated for the passing of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA), a law setting out to restructure the debt of Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria.{{cite web |last1=Florido |first1=Adrian |title='Hamilton' Arrives In Puerto Rico, Bringing A Bit Of Controversy With It |url=https://www.npr.org/2019/01/11/684610164/hamilton-arrives-in-puerto-rico-bringing-a-bit-of-controversy-with-it |website=NPR |access-date=29 September 2022}} The law led to budget cuts resulting in the closure of over 200 public schools, cuts to government labor benefits, and budget cuts at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR). It was met with protests, with UPR shutting down due to student strikes over the measures in 2017. Miranda became a target of criticism, especially when he performed Hamilton in Puerto Rico, given his lobbying on the bill as well as the musical's subject matter of the United States which many Puerto Ricans see as an oppressor of the island.{{Cite web|date=January 10, 2019|title=A Breakdown of the Controversy Surrounding Lin Manuel-Miranda & 'Hamilton' in Puerto Rico|url=https://remezcla.com/features/culture/lin-manuel-miranda-hamilton-in-puerto-rico-controversy/ |website=Remezcla |language=en-US |access-date=July 8, 2020}} During the post show, Miranda met with protestors explaining that he had seen PROMESA as the only bipartisan option for the debt crisis previously, he does not support the austerity measures introduced and that he believes full debt-relief should now be pursued.{{cite web |last1=Pollack-Pelzner |first1=Daniel |title=The Mixed Reception of the Hamilton Premiere in Puerto Rico |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2019/01/hamilton-premiere-puerto-rico-stirs-controversy/580657/ |website=The Atlantic |date=January 18, 2019 |access-date=29 September 2022}} Subsequently, he has argued for full debt-relief for the island{{cite news |last1=Miranda |first1=Lin-Manuel |title=This is what Puerto Ricans need from the government.
