Hamilton is a Grammy award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that took Broadway by storm. Based on a biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, this musical is the brainchild of writer and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Hamilton follows the come-up of the first treasurer of the United States, Alexander Hamilton. Before the explosion of the musical, founding father Alexander Hamilton was a lesser-known figure in the story of America’s founding. Now, his name is just as recognizable as George Washington after becoming the subject of one of the best musicals this century.

While the musical isn’t completely true to historical events — like the musical’s omission of Philip Schuyler’s adult son — it follows Alexander Hamilton’s rise to the US House of Representatives, his condemnation of slavery, and his political conflicts with Aaron Burr.

Perhaps the greatest aspect of the musical is the way Lin-Manuel Miranda taps into the pure optimism of high ideals that drew the Scottish treasurer to the U.S.: freedom and self-empowerment. These two themes were also the focus of his preceding musical, In the Heights.

Hamilton is nearly three hours with one intermission. Some highlights in its running time include the hip-hop-inspired songs “Shot,” “Alexander Hamilton,” and “You’ll Be Back.”

Lin-Manuel Miranda played the role of Alexander Hamilton, but no one can sing eight shows a week forever. Notable replacements include Marc de la Cruz and Miguel Cervantes.

Other original cast members included Daveed Diggs as Thomas Jefferson, Renee Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler, Philippa Soo as Eliza Schuyler, and Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr.

Hamilton has multiple national tours across the globe, including the Phillip Company, And Peggy Company, and Angelica Company tours. Touring cast members include Olivia Puckett, Ta’Rea Campbell, Marcus Choi, Vanessa Magula, Jordan Donica, and other up-and-coming talents.

From the New York Times to the Guardian, critics are united in the opinion that Hamilton is a groundbreaking musical that successfully re-imagined the early history of the United States. Some critics believe Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton to be one of the most brilliant musicals to hit Broadway in our lifetime.

Shortly after its release, Hamilton soared to popularity. With its jazzy melodies and catchy raps, the musical is a refreshing rendition of historical events around the formation of the United States.

The musical received 12 Emmy nominations and won two Emmy Awards alongside two Emmy Awards in 2021 for Outstanding Technical Direction and Outstanding Variety Special.

It won a Black Reel Award in 2021 for Outstanding Music, which went to Lin-Manuel and Outstanding Actor, which went to Leslie Odom Jr. Phillipa Soo won a Gold List award for Best Supporting Actress in 2021.

Lin-Manuel Miranda received a Golden Globes nomination for Best Performance by an Actor. The musical itself received a nomination from the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.

With the number of awards received, it’s clear that the musical is wildly popular with critics and the general populace alike. While there are people that feel differently about the musical, its popularity has a lot to do with its fresh, modern take on history.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to bring out your period outfits. There is no overarching dress code to see Hamilton. While the musical itself has no such requirements, we recommend checking local venue requirements to be safe.
