Hamilton at Richard Rodgers Theatre

This account of Alexander Hamilton's life, set in the late 1700s, is both inspiring and heartbreaking. The musical stays ageless and intriguing owing to its skillfully tackled themes of affection, tragedy, forgiveness, and ambition. The story is artfully told through hip-hop, featuring a multicultural ensemble of black and brown performers. “It takes on an exclusive meaning when you see black and brown artists narrating the genesis of our nation,” noted musician Lin Manuel Miranda.

The Guardian remarked on the production's distinctive context and expressed nothing but praiseworthy views. The author expressed, “Its rousing opening scenes remind us of that grand American concept of equal rights and touch on slavery and civil rights in the 18th century. “I never foresee making it past 20. Where I come from, some get half as many,” chants Hamilton at the beginning, and his words reverberate the precarious destiny that is in store for so many of America’s black or immigrant disadvantaged class now, as discussions concerning Black Lives Matter protests have highlighted.”

It’s true - the musical music of Hamilton is unlike any other theater musical. The variety of musical genres, encompassing hip-hop, pop, and R&B, sets Hamilton apart from other musicals. In the course of the musical's 46 songs, the cast perform and rap roughly 20,000 lyrics at a pace of roughly 144 words per minute. Besides its abundant accomplishments, Hamilton the Musical earned something a small number of musicals have actually achieved: a Pulitzer Prize. This well-received musical secured one more accolade to its list of honors when it secured the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2016.

Fun fact: The lyrics in "Guns and Ships" hold the title for the fastest spoken lyrics in Broadway musical history. It’s absolutely a breath-stealing song!
