Celebrating the Music of Lin-Manuel Miranda
One-night-only performance at the Uptown Theatre in the City of Napa will support the Miranda Family Fund and the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation
August 3, 2026 (Napa, CA) — Acclaimed Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez will bring the music of Pulitzer Prize, Grammy, Emmy and TONY AWARD®-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda to the Napa Valley for a special one-night-only benefit concert, Everything I Know, on Friday, September 18, 2026, at the Uptown Theatre in downtown Napa, CA.
The evening will celebrate some of the most beloved songs from Miranda’s extraordinary body of work, including selections from Hamilton, In the Heights, Encanto, Moana, and other favorites, while raising funds to support the Miranda Family Fund and the Napa Valley Farmworker Foundation.
Previously performed by Gonzalez at Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Napa Valley production of Everything I Know will be an unforgettable evening bringing together world-class entertainment, philanthropy, and Napa Valley hospitality in support of immigrant and farmworker communities, as well as musical arts education. In support of the Miranda Family Fund’s mission, Gonzalez will invite local youth performers to share the stage with her, highlighting the power of arts education and community engagement.
“Bringing Everything I Know to Napa is deeply personal for me as the granddaughter of Northern California farmworkers. I’m proud to support the Miranda Family Fund and honor the resilience and sacrifice of those who came before us,” said Mandy Gonzalez. “Thank you to this beautiful community for celebrating culture, lifting one another up, and reminding us that every story matters.”
Hosted by Anthony Veneziale, TONY AWARD®-winning performer, co-founder of Freestyle+, and co-creator of Freestyle Love Supreme, the event will include a special appearance by Lin-Manuel’s parents, Luis A. Miranda, Jr. and Dr. Luz Towns-Miranda of the Miranda Family Fund, as well as a special video message from Lin-Manuel Miranda.
“I’ve said this before: Kander had Chita, Sondheim had Barbara Cook. And I have Mandy Gonzalez,” said Lin-Manuel Miranda. “Coupling an exhilarating night of music with meaningful support for immigrant and farmworker communities couldn’t be more reflective of the essence of who Mandy is as an artist and a human being. You’re in for an unforgettable night.”
Guests will enjoy an only-in-Napa Valley event, featuring exceptional wines and culinary offerings, VIP hospitality experiences, plus a live auction. Tickets range from $100 to $1500 per ticket. Benefactor and VIP packages offer private reception and post-concert celebrations featuring Napa Valley wine and culinary offerings donated by John Anthony Truchard, owner of the historic Uptown Theatre and North Bay’s newest live performance venue, Napa Music Hall at the iconic Opera House.
“When we invested in the Uptown Theatre and created Napa Music Hall, our vision was to create more than places to see a performance – we wanted to build destinations where world-class artists, exceptional hospitality and meaningful community experiences come together,” stated John Anthony Truchard. “Napa Valley has earned a global reputation for bringing people together through unforgettable wine, food, and hospitality. We believe live performance belongs alongside those experiences, and Everything I Know beautifully brings that vision to life. We’re honored to welcome Mandy Gonzalez and the Miranda family to Napa for an evening that celebrates extraordinary music while supporting organizations whose work changes lives.”
