You probably know him as the Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning musical genius behind <em>Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, In the Heights</em>, and <em>The Greatest Showman</em>. This week, we are beyond grateful to welcome him to Laugh Lines!</p><p><br></p><p>Penn and I are lucky enough to call Alex and his wife, Ileana, our friends. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of his journey—from a Miami kid with a hand-me-down piano to a Broadway legend. We talk about how he sees music in colors (yes, synesthesia is real!), why lifting others up matters just as much as creating unforgettable scores, and how he’s overcome incredible odds. Born with significant hearing loss, Alex has gone on to orchestrate and arrange some of the most iconic music of our generation.</p><p><br></p><p>Oh—and did I mention we sing? A lot. From <em>The Muppets</em> to Broadway, Alex graciously humors us as everything turns into a sing-along (and even shares a keyboard with Penn). We adore Alex, and after listening, we think you will too.
