Alex Lacamoire

NEA: Alex Lacamoire is an arranger, musical director, orchestrator, conductor and musician, probably best-known for his collaborations with Lin-Manuel Miranda: In the Heights and Hamilton. A graduate of the Berklee College of Music, he began his career on Broadway as musical director of Bat Boy: The Musical. He worked extensively with Stephen Schwartz on the national tour of Godspell and on Broadway with Captain Louie and Wicked. But it was his work with Lin-Manuel Miranda that brought him a Tony award for Best Orchestration for the musical In the Heights, making Alex the first Latino to win that award and the first Berklee graduate to win a Tony. Alex followed that with a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album for In the Heights, and repeated the process in 2016 with a Tony and a Grammy for Hamilton.
