Hamilton at Richard Rodgers Theatre

The depiction of Alexander Hamilton's life, set in the late 1700s, is both uplifting and heartbreaking. The musical transcends time and fascinating because of its skillfully tackled themes of love, loss, forgiveness, and ambition. The story is artfully told through hip-hop, featuring a varied cast of black and brown actors. “It takes on a unique significance when you witness black and brown entertainers narrating the origins of our land,” stated musician Lin Manuel Miranda.

The Guardian remarked on the production's unique context and shared only positive remarks. The author stated, “Its energetic opening scenes bring to mind us of that great American ideal 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 receive half as many,” chants Hamilton at the start, and his lyrics echo the perilous destiny that is in store for so many of America’s black or immigrant disadvantaged stratum now, as talks concerning Black Lives Matter demonstrations have actually emphasized.”

It’s undeniable - the musical score of Hamilton is unlike any other Broadway musical. The diversity of musical elements, including hip-hop, pop, and R&B, sets Hamilton apart from other stage shows. Throughout the musical's 46 songs, the cast perform and rap approximately 20,000 lyrics at a pace of roughly 144 words per minute.
