HAMILTON
Hamilton: An American Musical is a sung-and-rapped-through biographical musical with music, lyrics, and a book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Based on the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, the musical covers the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and his involvement in the American Revolution and the political history of the early United States. Composed from 2008 to 2015, the music draws heavily from hip hop,[1] as well as R&B, pop, soul, and traditional-style show tunes. It casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers of the United States and other historical figures.[2][3][4][1] Miranda described Hamilton as about “America then, as told by America now”.[5]
From its opening, Hamilton received near-universal acclaim.[1][6] It premiered off-Broadway on February 17, 2015, at the Public Theater in Lower Manhattan, with Miranda playing the role of Alexander Hamilton, during its several-month engagement, which was sold out.[7] The musical won eight Drama Desk Awards, including the Outstanding Musical award. It then transferred to the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway, opening on August 6, 2015, where it received uniformly positive reviews and high box office sales.[8] At the 70th Tony Awards, Hamilton received a record-breaking 16 nominations and won 11 awards, including Best Musical. It received the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In 2020, a filmed version of the Broadway production was released on Disney+, followed by a theatrical release in 2025 by Walt Disney Pictures.[9]
The Chicago production of Hamilton began preview performances at the CIBC Theatre in September 2016 and opened the following month.[10] The West End production opened at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London on 21 December 2017, following previews from 6 December, and won seven Olivier Awards in 2018, including Best New Musical.[11] The first U.S. national tour began in March 2017.[12] A second U.S. tour opened in February 2018.[13] Hamilton‘s third U.S. tour began January 11, 2019, with a three-week engagement in Puerto Rico in which Miranda returned to the role of Hamilton.[14][15] The first non-English production opened in Hamburg in October 2022, having been translated into German.[16] As of 2025, no amateur or professional licenses have been granted for Hamilton.[17]
Synopsis
Hamilton narrates Alexander Hamilton’s life in two acts and details, among other things, his involvement in the American Revolutionary War as an aide-de-camp to George Washington, his marriage to Eliza Schuyler, his career as a lawyer and Secretary of the Treasury, and his interactions with Aaron Burr (the main narrator for most of the musical), which culminate in their duel that ends Hamilton’s life.
