Freestyle Love Supreme

Freestyle Love Supreme is an improvisational hip-hop (also known as freestyle rap) comedy musical group started by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Anthony Veneziale in 2004 and directed by Thomas Kail. In 2022, the group completed a Broadway musical run at the Booth Theatre.

The idea for the project started during rehearsal breaks for Miranda's first Broadway musical, In the Heights. During shows, the performers rap and beatbox, backed by keyboards. Unlike traditional, scripted musicals, the audience is intended to be engaged and participate in the show, providing suggestions and occasionally even being brought on stage. Before being performed on Broadway, there were performances at Ars Nova in 2004, 2006 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2005, as well as many other performances including Joe's Pub, Google Zeitgeist, Greenwich House Theater, Mo Pitkin's, and others.

Members of the group appeared in several episodes of the 2009 The Electric Company revival, on which Miranda, Sherman, Jackson, and Sullivan were regular music contributors.

The group created an 11-episode television series that aired on Pivot in 2014. Now available for a fee on Prime video and YouTube

The group performed its Off-Broadway and Broadway shows in 2019–2020 in celebration of their 15th anniversary.

The story of the group and musical is featured in the 2020 documentary We Are Freestyle Love Supreme, directed by Andrew Fried, who began filming the group in 2005. The film contains footage shot over the 15 years of the group's history.
