• Susan Egan originated the role of Belle in Broadway's Beauty and the Beast and voiced Meg in Disney's Hercules. She's also the godmother of the Disney Destiny.

• Lin-Manuel Miranda is a celebrated composer, songwriter, actor, and more, with his biggest breakthrough being Hamilton. He also wrote songs for Moana and Encanto (but I don't know if we should talk about that).
