Hamilton at Richard Rodgers Theatre

This fall, Hamilton will be performing in Richard Rodgers Theatre, the highest rated theatre of New York plus, the No.1 possible theatre for this brilliant Musical. The critics pick and award-winning show goes on to tell its awesome story from theatre to theatre all over the world.

It's off Broadway in 2015, Hamilton was not instantly the Broadway success that it is today. Lin-Manuel Miranda has talked publicly about its origins, starting as a concept album in 2009, with Miranda saying that he was “thrilled that the White House called me tonight, because I’m actually working on a hip-hop album. It's a concept album about the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop: treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton.” That one single performance gained praise and a well-earned standing ovation from the audience at the time, including former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, and directly led to Miranda’s creation of the Hamilton musical we know today.

Because of his history in musical theater, Lin-Manuel Miranda has also gained influences from other award-winning theater pieces such as Les Misérables, which holds to a similar theme that tells the story of a struggle, and triumphing that struggle, as opposed to the traditional musical theatre biases that tend to be very positive and happy. Similarly Hamilton, being about the difficulties arising as an orphaned immigrant from the Caribbean who rose to power and became the first U.S. Treasury Secretary. With the utmost respect to its source material, Hamilton shows us both sides of Alexander Hamilton’s rise to power, by not only giving us a look into his character and struggle, but also his impact and effect in being able to significantly shape America during his lifetime.

By telling this story, Hamilton continues to prove its relevance in our modern culture and even international public discourse, confronting questions and issues that are very relevant not only to America, but also globally. Even the use of musical genres like hip hop, jazz, and R&B as the productions score has solidified its place in pop culture, making it one of the most popular hit New York musicals today.
