Hamilton at Richard Rodgers Theatre

The portrayal of Alexander Hamilton's life, occurring in the late 1700s, is equally uplifting and devastating. The musical remains timeless and fascinating owing to its masterfully addressed themes of affection, tragedy, pardoning, and ambition. The story is beautifully told through hip-hop, featuring a diverse cast of black and brown actors. “It adopts a distinct meaning when you see black and brown performers narrating the beginnings of our land,” stated composer Lin Manuel Miranda.

The Guardian remarked on the show's unique context and shared only praiseworthy remarks. The writer expressed, “Its energetic opening scenes recollect us of that great American concept of equal rights and mention slavery and civil rights in the 18th century. “I never anticipate making it past 20. In the place where I originated, some get half as many,” sings Hamilton at the start, and his words reverberate the precarious destiny that awaits so many of America’s black or immigrant disadvantaged class now, as talks concerning Black Lives Matter protests have emphasized.”

It’s undeniable - the musical music of Hamilton is unlike any other theater musical. The range of music styles, including hip-hop, pop, and R&B, sets apart Hamilton apart from other musicals. Throughout the musical's 46 songs, the cast perform and rap approximately 20,000 lyrics at a pace of roughly 144 words per minute. In addition to its abundant accomplishments, Hamilton the Musical attained something few musicals have achieved: a Pulitzer Prize. This highly praised musical secured another accolade to its collection when it secured the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2016.

Fun fact: The lyrics in "Guns and Ships" claim the record for the fastest spoken words in Broadway musical history. It’s indeed a remarkable song!
