The generation-spanning hip-hop musical – which has become a massive entertainment juggernaut – tells the story of the rivalry of two American founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr.
The musical’s book and lyrics, inspired by the biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created the character on Broadway. If you write all the parts, you get to play all the parts, Miranda told a crowd in Salt Lake City recently.
The show, directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, won 11 Tonys in 2016. The original Broadway cast recording won the 2016 Grammy for Best Musical Theatre Album.
