Hamilton (musical)
Hamilton is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel
Miranda that tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton
Hamilton. Inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by An American Musical
historian Ron Chernow, the show's music draws heavily from hip
hop, as well as R&B, pop, soul, and traditional-style show tunes; the
show also casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and other
historical figures.[1][2][3] Through this use of modern storytelling
methods, Hamilton has been described as being about "America
then, as told by America now."[4]
From its first opening, Hamilton received critical acclaim.[5] The

show premiered at the Public Theater, Off-Broadway on February 17,
2015, where its engagement was sold out;[6] it won eight Drama
Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical. It then transferred to
the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway, opening on August 6,
2015, where it received uniformly positive reviews and strikingly
high box office sales.[7] At the 2016 Tony Awards, Hamilton received
a record-setting 16 nominations, eventually winning 11 awards,
including Best Musical. It received the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for
Drama.

Synopsis
The musical details Hamilton's life in two acts, along with how various historical characters influenced
his life such as Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, Aaron Burr, John Laurens, Hercules Mulligan,
Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, Angelica Schuyler, Peggy Schuyler, Philip Hamilton, and former
presidents George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson.
Act I
The orphan Alexander Hamilton leaves his home on the island of Nevis ("Alexander Hamilton"). After
arriving in New York in 1776, Hamilton meets Aaron Burr, John Laurens, Marquis de Lafayette, and
Hercules Mulligan ("Aaron Burr, Sir"), and impresses them with his rhetorical skills ("My Shot"). They
affirm their revolutionary goals to each other ("The Story of Tonight"). Meanwhile, wealthy sisters
Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy Schuyler go into town seeking out potential suitors ("The Schuyler Sisters").
Samuel Seabury warns everyone about the dangers of Congress, but Hamilton disagrees and tries to
counter Seabury ("Farmer Refuted"). King George then insists on his authority ("You'll Be Back").
During the New York and New Jersey campaign, Hamilton accepts a position as George Washington's
aide-de-camp ("Right Hand Man"), instead of field command.
At Philip Schuyler's ball ("A Winter's Ball"), Eliza Schuyler falls hopelessly in love with Alexander, who
reciprocates her feelings, and the two later marry each other ("Helpless"), as Angelica suppresses her
feelings for the sake of their happiness at the wedding ("Satisfied"). After the wedding, Burr
congratulates Hamilton on his position as aide-de-camp to Washington; Hamilton admits that he would
much rather have Burr's position on the battlefield ("The Story of Tonight (Reprise)"). Burr reflects on
Hamilton's swift rise while considering his own career as more cautious ("Wait For It").
As conditions worsen for the Continental Army, Hamilton aids Laurens in a duel against Charles Lee
("Stay Alive"), who insulted Washington. Laurens injures Lee, who in turn yields ("Ten Duel
Commandments"). Hamilton is temporarily suspended by Washington ("Meet Me Inside") over the duel
and is sent home. There, Eliza reveals that she is pregnant with her first child, and asks Hamilton to slow
down to take in what has happened in their lives ("That Would Be Enough"). After Lafayette convinces
France to get involved on the colonists' side ("Guns and Ships"), he urges Washington to call Hamilton
back to help plan the final Siege of Yorktown. Washington agrees but explains to Hamilton—who is
convinced he should die a martyr and a hero in war—that he should be careful with his actions because
whatever he does will be known for ages to come ("History Has Its Eyes on You"). At the Siege of
Yorktown, Hamilton meets up with Lafayette to take down the British, revealing that Mulligan was
recruited as a spy, helping them figure out how to trap the British and win the war ("Yorktown (The
World Turned Upside Down)").
Soon after the victory at Yorktown, King George asks the rebels how they will succeed in governing on
their own (“What Comes Next?”). Lafayette returns to France with plans to inspire his people to have
their own revolution. Hamilton's son Philip is born, while Burr has a daughter, Theodosia, and the two
tell their children how they will do anything to protect them ("Dear Theodosia"). Hamilton receives word
that his friend Laurens has been killed in a seemingly pointless battle after the war was won and throws
himself into his work ("Tomorrow There'll Be More of Us"). He co-authors The Federalist Papers and is
selected as Secretary of the Treasury by newly elected President Washington. Eliza begs Hamilton to
stay. Angelica moves to London with her new husband ("Non-Stop").
Act II
Thomas Jefferson returns to America from being the U.S. ambassador to France ("What'd I Miss"). In
1789, Jefferson and Hamilton debate the latter's financial proposals at a Cabinet meeting. Washington
pulls Hamilton aside, and tells him to figure out a compromise to win over Congress ("Cabinet Battle
#1").
Eliza and her family—along with Angelica, back from London—travel upstate during the summer, while
Hamilton stays home to work on the compromise ("Take a Break"). Hamilton begins an affair with Maria
Reynolds, making him vulnerable to her husband's blackmail ("Say No To This"). Hamilton, Jefferson,
and James Madison create the Compromise of 1790 over a private dinner, exchanging Hamilton's
financial plan for placing the country's permanent capital on the Potomac River. Burr is envious of
Hamilton's sway in the government and wishes he had similar power ("The Room Where It Happens").
Burr switches political parties and defeats Philip Schuyler, making Hamilton now a rival ("Schuyler
Defeated").
In another Cabinet meeting, Jefferson and Hamilton argue over whether the United States should assist
France in its conflict with Britain. President Washington ultimately agrees with Hamilton's argument for
remaining neutral ("Cabinet Battle #2"). In the wake of this, Jefferson, Madison, and Burr decide to join
forces to find a way to discredit Hamilton in Washington's eyes ("Washington on Your Side").
Washington decides to retire from the presidency, and Hamilton assists in writing a farewell address
("One Last Time").
A flabbergasted King George receives word that George Washington has stepped down, and will be
replaced by Paris signatory John Adams (“I Know Him”). John Adams becomes the second President
and fires Hamilton, who publishes an inflammatory critique of the new president as a response ("The
Adams Administration"). In the face of accusations of speculation of government funds by Jefferson,
Madison, and Burr—and out of fear that his affair with Maria Reynolds will be used against him in his
political career ("We Know")—Hamilton chooses to publicize his affair ("Hurricane") in the Reynolds
Pamphlet ("The Reynolds Pamphlet"), damaging his relationship with Eliza. Eliza, in a heartbroken
retaliation, burns all the letters Hamilton wrote her, trying to erase herself from history ("Burn"). Philip,
instructed by Hamilton, challenges George Eacker to a duel and is critically injured ("Blow Us All Away")
and dies ("Stay Alive (Reprise)"), causing a reconciliation between Alexander and Eliza ("It's Quiet
Uptown").
Hamilton's endorsement of Jefferson in the presidential election of 1800 ("The Election of 1800") results
in further animosity between Hamilton and Burr, who challenges Hamilton to a duel via an exchange of
letters ("Your Obedient Servant"). Hamilton writes his last letter in a rush while Eliza tells him to go
back to bed (“Best of Wives and Best of Women”). Burr and Hamilton travel to New Jersey for the duel.
During the duel, both Burr and Hamilton fire at each other after ten paces, with Hamilton intentionally
missing (throwing away) his shot. Hamilton dies as a result, with Eliza and Angelica at his side. Burr
laments that even though he survived, he is cursed to be remembered as the villain who killed Hamilton
("The World Was Wide Enough"). The musical closes with a reflection on historical memory, showing
how Eliza kept Hamilton's legacy alive ("Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story").

Notes
a. Credited to full company on the original Broadway cast recording.

b. "Tomorrow There'll Be More of Us", a second reprise to "The Story of Tonight", does not appear on
the original Broadway cast recording. Miranda explained that it was "more of a scene than a song,
the only scene in the [sung-through] show", and he wanted to reserve the impact of "at least one
revelation" that could be experienced more fully onstage.[45]
c. Previously titled "One Last Ride" in the Off-Broadway production.[46]
d. "The Reynolds Pamphlet" The song contains a small part of the song "Congratulations" (Off-
Broadway).[46]
Recordings
Original Broadway cast album (2015)
The original Broadway cast recording for Hamilton was made available to listeners by NPR on
September 21, 2015.[47] It was released by Atlantic Records digitally on September 25, 2015, and physical
copies were released on October 16, 2015.[48] The cast album has also been released on vinyl.[49] The
album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, the highest entrance for a cast
recording since 1963.[50] It went on to reach number 3 on the Billboard 200[51] and number 1 on the
Billboard Rap albums chart.[52] The original cast recording won a Grammy Award for Best Musical
Theater Album.[53]
The Hamilton Mixtape (2016)
The Hamilton Mixtape, a collection of remixes, covers, and samples of the musical's songs, was released
on December 2, 2016. It debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200.[54]
The Hamilton Instrumentals (2017) and Hamiltunes
The Hamilton Instrumentals, an instrumental edition of the original Broadway cast recording without
the cast's vocals, was released on June 30, 2017.[55]
In conjunction with the release, the producers of Hamilton announced that they were officially
authorizing free sing-along programs for fans, and offering organizers the Hamiltunes name and logo to
promote the events.[55] A series of unauthorized Hamilton sing-alongs under that name, starting with
Hamiltunes L.A. in early 2016, had already taken place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington
D.C., with spinoff events nationwide.[55][56][57]
Hamildrops (2017–2018)
Miranda announced a new series of 13 Hamilton-related recordings called Hamildrops, releasing once a
month from December 2017 to December 2018. The first release, on December 15, 2017, was "Ben
Franklin's Song" by The Decemberists, containing lyrics Miranda wrote during the development of
Hamilton for an unused song that was never set to music. Miranda had long imagined Benjamin
Franklin singing in a "Decemberist-y way", and ultimately sent the lyrics to Colin Meloy, who set them to
music.[58][59] The second release, on January 25, 2018, was "Wrote My Way Out (Remix)", a remixed
version of a song on The Hamilton Mixtape, featuring Royce Da 5'9", Joyner Lucas, Black Thought and
Aloe Blacc.[60]
The third release, on March 2, 2018, was "The Hamilton Polka" by "Weird Al" Yankovic, a polka medley
of some of the songs from the musical. A fan of Yankovic since childhood, Miranda became friends with
him after they tried to develop a musical together. About the origin of the song, Yankovic said, "Lin
pitched it to me as a polka medley way more hesitantly than [he] should have. He was like, 'Would you
want to do a polka medley?' I was like, 'Of course I do!' " Since Yankovic was busy working on his new
tour, he wouldn't be able to release the song in February, so he suggested calling March 2 "February
30th". Miranda said it was "the most perfect 'Weird Al' creative problem solving possible".[61]
The fourth release, on March 19, 2018, was "Found/Tonight" by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ben Platt. A
mash-up of the songs "You Will Be Found" from the stage musical Dear Evan Hansen and "The Story of
Tonight", part of the proceeds were destinated to the initiative March for Our Lives, created after the
Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Miranda said the song was his way "of helping to raise funds
and awareness for [the efforts of the students in Parkland, Florida], and to say Thank You, and that we
are with you so let's keep fighting, together". Platt added that he hoped the song could "play some small
part in bringing about real change [in gun control laws]".[62]
The fifth release, on April 30, 2018, was "First Burn", featuring five actresses who played Eliza Hamilton
at productions of the musical: Arianna Afsar (original Chicago company), Julia Harriman (first national
tour), Shoba Narayan (original second national tour company), Rachelle Ann Go (original West End
company) and Lexi Lawson (Broadway). The song is the first draft written by Miranda of "Burn".
Miranda described Eliza's portrayal in the first version of the song as "angrier" and "entirely reactive",
while in the final version "she has agency", and explained that "it works as a song but not as a scene".[63]
The sixth release, on May 31, 2018, was a cover of "Helpless" by The Regrettes.[64] Miranda credited
Mike Elizondo, a producer who worked with the band, as having suggested the idea, which he
immediately accepted.[65]
The seventh release, on June 18, 2018, was "Boom Goes the Cannon..." by Mobb Deep. The song, which
incorporates a sample of the musical's "Right Hand Man", was one of the last recorded by Havoc and
Prodigy, before Prodigy's passing on June 2017. Havoc expressed that the release of the record was "a
great way to pay homage to [Prodigy] and continue not only Mobb's legacy, but his as well". Miranda
dedicated it to Queensbridge.[66]
The eighth release, "Rise Up, Wise Up, Eyes Up" by French duo Ibeyi, was released on August 31,
2018.[67]
The ninth release, entitled "A Forgotten Spot (Olvidado)", features Puerto Rican singers Zion & Lennox,
De La Ghetto, Ivy Queen, PJ Sin Suela and Lucecita Benítez. It was released on September 20, 2018 by
Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group. The song was written by Miranda, along with the rest of the
collaborators. The song was released on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Maria which directly
struck Puerto Rico in 2017.[68][69]
The tenth release, a rendition of "Theodosia Reprise" by Sara Bareilles, debuted on the eve of Halloween
2018. It featured show orchestrator Alex Lacamoire on piano and Questlove of The Roots on drums. The
song, sharing a moment between Aaron Burr and his daughter, was to appear in Act 2 but was cut from
the final production.[70]
The eleventh release was "Cheering For Me Now", an original song with music by John Kander and lyrics
by Miranda based on the 1788 Federal Procession in New York City. It was released on November 20,
2018. The release features Miranda performing as Alexander Hamilton and an arrangement by Alex
Lacamoire.[71]
On December 20, 2018, the final song was released. "One Last Time (44 Remix)" features the vocals of
original Broadway portrayer of George Washington, Christopher Jackson, gospel and R&B singer BeBe
Winans, and former US president Barack Obama, reciting the lines from George Washington's farewell
address. It is based on "One Last Time" with a revamped gospel type of music. The 44 in the title stands
for Obama being the 44th president of the United States.
Background
While on vacation from performing in his hit Broadway show In the Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda read
a copy of the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. After finishing the first few
chapters, Miranda began to envision the life of Hamilton as a musical, and researched whether a stage
musical of Hamilton's life had been created: all he found was that a play of Hamilton's story had been
done on Broadway in 1917, starring George Arliss as Alexander Hamilton.[72]
Miranda therefore began a project titled The Hamilton Mixtape. On

May 12, 2009, Miranda was invited to perform music from In the
Heights at the White House Evening of Poetry, Music and the
Spoken Word. Instead, he performed the first song from The
Hamilton Mixtape, an early version of what would later become
"Alexander Hamilton", Hamilton's opening number. He spent a year
after that working on "My Shot", another early number from the
show.[74] Lin-Manuel Miranda performs at the
White House Poetry Jam in
Miranda performed in a workshop production of the show, then 2009.[73]
titled The Hamilton Mixtape, at the Vassar Reading Festival on July
27, 2013.[75] The workshop production was directed by Thomas
Kail and musically directed by Alex Lacamoire. The workshop External audio
consisted of the entirety of the first act of the show and three songs

The production was extended twice, first to April 5 and then to May 3.[78] Chernow served as historical

titled "One Last Time") to focus simply on Washington's decision not to run
for a third term as President.

home to Miranda's 2008 Broadway debut In the Heights) on July 13, 2015,
in previews, and opened on August 6, 2015.[82] The production is produced
by Jeffrey Seller and features scenic design by David Korins, costumes by Paul Tazewell, lighting by
Howell Binkley and sound by Nevin Steinberg, who all reprised their roles from the off-Broadway
production.[83]
The production was critically acclaimed by many theater analysts, winning 11 Tony Awards.[82][84][85]
As of March 12, 2020, the show suspended production due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show’s
production will be suspended until September 6, 2020 at the earliest. [86]
Chicago (2016–2020)
Hamilton began previews at the CIBC Theatre in Chicago on September 27, 2016.[87] The Chicago
production was known as the "Eliza company".[88] Near the beginning of its run, lead producer Jeffrey
Seller said the show may be in residence for two years or more.[89] On its opening in October, attended
by author Miranda, the Chicago production received strongly positive reviews.[90][91][92] Miranda
praised the Chicago cast's performance during a later television interview.[93] The Chicago run closed on
January 5, 2020 after 1,341 shows.[94] The production is said to have grossed $400 million, breaking
records for theater in Chicago. Seller argued that the 171-week-run was the most financially successful
period-run for a Broadway show anywhere in the world. According to Chris Jones, such a success would
be made possible by the larger number of seats the CIBC Theatre holds and can sell in comparison to, for
example, the show's smaller New York City venue.[95]

January 2016. The tour was initially announced with over 20 stops,
scheduled from 2017 through at least 2020.[96] Tickets to the tour's
run in San Francisco—its debut city—sold out within 24 hours of
release; the number of people who entered the online waiting room
to purchase tickets surpassed 110,000.[97] The first national touring
production began preview performances at San Francisco's SHN
Orpheum Theatre on March 10, 2017 and officially opened on March
23. The production ran in San Francisco until August 5, when it Members of the touring cast perform
transferred to Los Angeles's Hollywood Pantages Theatre for a run at the 2020 Women's March in San
from August 11 to December 30, 2017. Francisco.
Just days after the first U.S. tour began performances in San
Francisco, news emerged that a second U.S. tour of Hamilton would begin in Seattle for a six-week
limited engagement before touring North America concurrently with the first tour.[11] To distinguish the
first and second touring productions, the production team has labeled them, respectively, the "Angelica
Tour" and the "Philip Tour".[96]
The Philip tour began preview performances at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on February 6, 2018
before officially opening on February 15, 2018.[98]
The Angelica tour alone requires 14 truckloads of cargo and a core group of over 60 traveling cast, crew,
and musicians.[96] The production team insisted that each tour must be able to duplicate the original
Broadway show's choreography, which literally revolves around two concentric turntables on the
stage.[96] This led to the construction of four portable sets, two for each tour, so that one set can be
assembled well in advance at the next stop while the tour is still playing at the last stop.[96]
Hamilton had its Canadian premiere when the Philip tour began a planned three-month run at the Ed
Mirvish Theatre in Toronto, Ontario on February 11, 2020.[99] The show was slated to run until May 17,
2020, but was indefinitely suspended on March 14, 2020 as a precautionary measure related to the
coronavirus pandemic.
Puerto Rico/San Francisco [And Peggy Tour] (2019–present)
It was announced on November 8, 2017, that a new company of Hamilton would be formed, known
officially as the third national tour of the show, and dubbed the "And Peggy Tour".[100][101] It would
debut at the University of Puerto Rico's Teatro UPR in San Juan, for a limited three-week run beginning
in January 2019, with Lin-Manuel Miranda reprising the title role, before becoming a San Francisco
production with a new lead. The Teatro UPR stage had suffered damage following Hurricane Maria in
September and October 2017, and underwent restorations and repairs prior to Hamilton's 2019 bow.
On December 21, 2018, less than a month away from opening night and after months of restoration
completed, the three-week engagement, originally slated for January 8–27, 2019, was moved to the Luis
A. Ferré Performing Arts Center, shifting the run to January 11–27, 2019 ,after negotiations between the
show's production and the local faculty and staff union. This followed weeks of warnings from the union
of possible protests outside the theater over budget cuts that the University of Puerto Rico
administration was considering that would affect university staff and employees.[102]
Miranda's performance in the Luis A. Ferré Performing Arts Center marked his return to the venue nine
years after he reprised the role of Usnavi for the San Juan stop of the North American touring
production of In the Heights. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon taped segments in Puerto Rico
to help tourism, one of them with the "And Peggy Tour" cast performing a version of "The Story of
Tonight", where Jimmy Fallon joined in as a second Alexander Hamilton next to Miranda singing about
The Tonight Show and ending the performance with a salsa version of Fallon's Tonight Show opening
song.
In a review of the Puerto Rico production, Chris Jones said Miranda's performance demonstrated
"deeper on-stage emotions", as well as improved vocal and dance technique than on his original run on
Broadway. Jones praised Miranda's "signature warmth" as well as Donald Webber Jr., calling Webber's
performance as Aaron Burr "exceptional". The sold-out three-week engagement raised about $15 million
for Miranda's Flamboyán Arts Fund, which benefits arts in Puerto Rico; the first beneficiary having been
the restoration of the Teatro UPR, where the three-week engagement would have originally taken
place.[103]
After the Puerto Rico run, Julius Thomas III took over the role of Alexander Hamilton after the And
Peggy tour production moved to San Francisco.[104] Despite billing as a tour, as is the common theatrical
convention with West Coast sit-down productions, the And Peggy Tour is fixed in San Francisco for a
lengthy residency with no scheduled travelling dates. The San Francisco production is given a separate
tab on the show's website from the two travelling North American tours.
Los Angeles (2020–present)
A new production in Los Angeles was scheduled to start March 12, 2020, and continue to November 22,
2020, at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre. However, the show was suspended on the date of its intended
debut as in response to the coronavirus pandemic.[105][106]
West End (2017–present)
Cameron Mackintosh produced a London production that re-opened the

Victoria Palace Theatre on December 21, 2017, following previews from
December 6.[9] Initial principal casting was announced on January 26,
2017.[18] The London production received strongly positive reviews.[107]
Hamburg (2020)
According to a report in Forbes, Stage Entertainment will license a

German-language production to open in Hamburg during the fall of
2020.[108]
Hamilton at the Victoria

Sydney (2021) Palace Theatre, London, in
December 2017
Hamilton will have its Australian premiere at Sydney Lyric Theatre with
previews beginning in February before opening in March 2021. Casting is
yet to be announced.[109]
Box office and business
Opening and box office records
Hamilton's off-Broadway engagement at The Public Theater was sold out,[6] and when the musical
opened on Broadway, it had a multimillion-dollar advance in ticket sales, reportedly taking in
$30 million before its official opening.[110]
By September 2015, the show was sold out for most of its Broadway engagement.[111][112][113][114] It was
the second-highest-grossing show on Broadway for the Labor Day week ending September 6, 2015
(behind only The Lion King).[7]
Hamilton set a Broadway box office record for the most money grossed in a single week in New York City
in late November 2016, when it grossed $3.3 million for an eight-performance week, the first show to
break $3 million in eight performances.[115]
Ticket lottery and Ham4Ham
Hamilton, like some other Broadway musicals, offers a ticket lottery before every show. Initially, 21
front-row seats (and occasional standing room tickets) were offered in each lottery. Hamilton creator
Lin-Manuel Miranda began preparing and hosting outdoor mini-performances shortly before each daily
drawing, allowing lottery participants to experience a part of the show even when they did not win
tickets.[116] These were dubbed the "Ham4Ham" shows, because lottery winners were given the
opportunity to purchase two tickets at the reduced price of one Hamilton ($10 bill) each.
The online theatrical journal HowlRound characterized Ham4Ham as an expression of Miranda's

cultural background:
Ham4Ham follows a long tradition of Latina/o (or the ancestors of present-day Latina/os)
theatremaking that dates back to when the events in Hamilton were happening.... The
philosophy behind this is simple. If the people won't come to the theatre, then take the
theatre to the people. While El Teatro Campesino's 'taking it to the streets' originated from a
place of social protest, Ham4Ham does so to create accessibility, tap into social media, and
ultimately generate a free, self-functioning marketing campaign. In this way, Ham4Ham falls
into a lineage of accessibility as a Latina/o theatremaking aesthetic.[117]
As a result of the Ham4Ham shows, Hamilton's lottery drew unusually large crowds of people that
created congestion on West 46th Street.[118] To avoid increasingly dangerous crowding and traffic
conditions, an online ticket lottery began operating in early January 2016.[118] On the first day of the
online lottery, more than 50,000 people entered, crashing the website.[119]
After Miranda left the show on July 9, 2016, Rory O'Malley, then playing King George III, took over as
the host of Ham4Ham.[120] The Ham4Ham show officially ended on August 31, 2016, after more than a
year of performances.[121] The online lottery continued, with an official mobile app released in August
2017 that expanded the lottery by offering tickets for touring productions of Hamilton as well as the
Broadway show.[122]
Critical response
Marilyn Stasio, in her review of the Off-Broadway production for Variety, wrote, "The music is
exhilarating, but the lyrics are a big surprise. The sense, as well as the sound of the sung dialogue, has
been purposely suited to each character. George Washington, a stately figure in Jackson's dignified
performance, sings in polished prose... But in the end, Miranda's impassioned narrative of one man's
story becomes the collective narrative of a nation, a nation built by immigrants who occasionally need to
be reminded where they came from."[123]
In his review of the Off-Broadway production, Jesse Green in New

York wrote, "The conflict between independence and
interdependence is not just the show's subject but also its method: It
brings the complexity of forming a union from disparate
constituencies right to your ears.... Few are the theatergoers who will
be familiar with all of Miranda's touchstones. I caught the verbal
references to Rodgers and Hammerstein, Gilbert and Sullivan,
Sondheim, West Side Story, and 1776, but other people had to point
out to me the frequent hat-tips to hip-hop... Whether it's a

Although giving a positive review, Elisabeth Vincentelli, of the New

York Post (which was founded by Hamilton himself), wrote that Hamilton and Burr's love/hate
relationship "fails to drive the show—partly because Miranda lacks the charisma and intensity of the
man he portrays", and that "too many of the numbers are exposition-heavy lessons, as if this were
'Schoolhouse Rap!' The show is burdened with eye-glazingly dull stretches, especially those involving
George Washington."[125]
Reviewing the Broadway production in The New York Times, Ben Brantley wrote, "I am loath to tell
people to mortgage their houses and lease their children to acquire tickets to a hit Broadway show. But
Hamilton, directed by Thomas Kail and starring Mr. Miranda, might just about be worth it....
Washington, Jefferson, Madison—they're all here, making war and writing constitutions and debating
points of economic structure. So are Aaron Burr and the Marquis de Lafayette. They wear the clothes (by
Paul Tazewell) you might expect them to wear in a traditional costume drama, and the big stage they
inhabit has been done up (by David Korins) to suggest a period-appropriate tavern, where incendiary
youth might gather to drink, brawl and plot revolution."[82]
In Time Out New York, David Cote wrote, "I love Hamilton. I love it like I love New York, or Broadway
when it gets it right. And this is so right... A sublime conjunction of radio-ready hip-hop (as well as R&B,
Britpop and trad showstoppers), under-dramatized American history and Miranda's uniquely personal
focus as a first-generation Puerto Rican and inexhaustible wordsmith, Hamilton hits multilevel culture
buttons, hard... The work's human drama and novelistic density remain astonishing." Cote chose
Hamilton as a Critics' Pick, and gave the production five out of five stars.[1]
In an issue of Journal of the Early Republic, Andrew Schocket wrote that while Hamilton makes bold
choices to stray away from what he calls the "American Revolution Rebooted" genre,[126] it remains
"forged in the mold of this genre, and despite its casting and hip-hop delivery, is more representative of
it than we might think".[127] In the same issue, Marvin McAllister noted that the production's heavy hip-
hop influence works so well because "Miranda elevates the form through this marriage with musical
theater storytelling, and in the process, ennobles the culture and the creators."[128]
A review in The Economist summed up the response to Hamilton as "near-universal critical acclaim".[5]
Barack Obama joked that admiration for the musical is "the only thing Dick Cheney and I agree on".[129]
Criticism and The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda
While critics were overwhelmingly positive, various scholars pointed out historical inaccuracy in the
show, not addressing Alexander Hamilton's participation in the genocide of Native Americans and in
slavery, as well as omitting voices that represent these aspects of history.[130] Among them, artist
Ishmael Reed wrote and put on The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda, a show critiquing Miranda's
presentation of history, as well as his method and politics.[131]

According to an article in The New Yorker, the show is "an
achievement of historical and cultural reimagining". The costumes
and set reflect the period, with "velvet frock coats and knee britches. The set ...is a wooden scaffold
against exposed brick; the warm lighting suggests candlelight".[2] The musical is mostly sung and rapped
all the way through, with little dialogue isolated outside of the musical score.[155][14][156]

door."[157] He noted "We're telling the story of old, dead
white men but we're using actors of color, and that makes
the story more immediate and more accessible to a contemporary audience."[158]
The pro-immigration message of Hamilton is at the forefront, as the show revolves around the life of one
of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Alexander Hamilton, and how he made his mark in
American politics as an immigrant. Instead of being characterized as a white person, Alexander
Hamilton's immigrant status is referenced throughout the show, alongside with the virtue and prowess
of Hamilton ("by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter, by being a self-starter", described in the
show's opening, and later stating “immigrants get things done”), in order to foster a positive image of
immigrants.[159] Alongside this, the casting of Black, Latino, and Asian American leads allowed
audiences to literally view America as a nation of immigrants, with the intention of showing how
irrelevant the Founding Fathers' whiteness is to their claim on the country.[160] "Hamilton is a story
about America, and the most beautiful thing about it is... it's told by such a diverse cast with such diverse
styles of music", according to Renee Elise Goldsberry, who played Angelica Schuyler. "We have the
opportunity to reclaim a history that some of us don't necessarily think is our own."[161] Miranda has
stated that he is "totally open" to women playing the Founding Fathers.[162] Casting for the British
production is expected to feature predominantly black British artists.[163][164]
Historical accuracy
Chronology and events
Although Hamilton was based on historical events and people, Miranda did use some dramatic license in
retelling the story. For example, while Angelica did have a strong relationship with Hamilton, it was
exaggerated in the show. During "Satisfied", Angelica explains why Hamilton is not suitable for her
despite wanting him. In particular, she states, "I'm a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich.
My father has no sons so I'm the one who has to social climb for one." In actuality, Angelica had less
pressure on her to do this. Philip Schuyler actually had fifteen children, including two sons who survived
into adulthood (one of whom was New York State Assemblyman Philip Jeremiah Schuyler), and Angelica
had eloped with John Barker Church three years before she met Hamilton at her sister's wedding, when
she was already a mother of two of her eight children with Church.[165] Miranda stated that he chose to
do this because it is stronger dramatically if Angelica is available but cannot marry him.[166][167][168]
In addition, in Act I, Aaron Burr's role in Hamilton's life is overstated, and much of the early interactions
between the two men in the show are fictionalized. For example, while Burr was present at the Battle of
Monmouth, Burr did not serve as Charles Lee's second in his duel with John Laurens as seen in "Ten
Duel Commandments"; Lee's second was Evan Edwards.[169] Hamilton also never approached Burr to
help write The Federalist Papers as portrayed in "Non-Stop".[170]
During Act I, the character of Aaron Burr says that "...Martha Washington named her feral tomcat after
him! [Hamilton]", to which Alexander Hamilton replies: "That's true!"[171] In fact, it is false. The idea of
Hamilton as a serial adulterer has been one of the biggest mischaracterizations of the real Alexander
Hamilton for two centuries, with celebrated authors repeating the story over and over again,
notwithstanding that the sexual connotation of tomcat as a womanizer did not appear in dictionaries
until the first half of the 20th century. The "tomcat" story has been previously discredited by author
Stephen Knott,[172] and refuted by historian and author Michael E. Newton at the "Alexander Hamilton
Discoveries and Findings" talk held by the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society at Liberty Hall (Kean
University) as part of the 2016 CelebrateHAMILTON events.[173][174]
In Act II, there are multiple inaccuracies throughout Hamilton's decline, potentially due to time
constraints and the show's narrative arc. While it is true that John Adams and Hamilton did not
particularly get along, John Adams did not fire Hamilton as told in the show. Hamilton tendered his
resignation from his position as Secretary of the Treasury on December 1, 1794,[175] two years before
Adams became president. However, Hamilton remained close friends with Washington and highly
influential in the political sphere.[176] Additionally, Jefferson, Madison and Burr did not approach
Hamilton about his affair; it was actually James Monroe, Frederick Muhlenberg and Abraham Venable
in December 1792.[177] Monroe was a close friend of Jefferson's and shared the information of
Hamilton's affair with him. In summer 1797, journalist James T. Callender broke the story of Hamilton's
infidelity. Hamilton blamed Monroe, and the altercation nearly ended in a duel.[178] With nothing left to
do, Hamilton then published The Reynolds Pamphlet.[179] The impact of the pamphlet's publication is
exaggerated, as it was actually the later publication of a pamphlet criticizing Adams during the election
of 1800 (referenced in “The Adams Administration”) that effectively ended Hamilton's political career.
In "Take a Break", Philip Hamilton, at age 9, claims, "I have a sister, but I want a little brother". Philip
already had two younger brothers at the time: Alexander Hamilton Jr. and James Alexander Hamilton.
On the same song, Angelica sends a letter to Hamilton, revealing she would come back to America from
Europe for the summer. She did not send such a letter and remained in her home.
In "Blow Us All Away", George Eacker and Philip engage in a duel, before the events of the 1800
presidential election. The duel actually occurred in 1801, with Philip Hamilton dying on November 24. In
the song, Eacker fires on Philip at the count of seven; in real life, both men refused to fire for over a
minute before Eacker shot Philip in the hips.[180]
Finally, it was not the presidential election of 1800 that led to Burr and Hamilton's duel. Burr did
become Jefferson's vice-president, but when Jefferson decided not to run with Burr for reelection in
1804, Burr opted to run for Governor of New York instead. Burr lost to Morgan Lewis in a landslide.
Afterward, a letter was published in The Albany Register from Charles D. Cooper to Philip Schuyler,
claiming that Hamilton called Burr "a dangerous man and one who ought not be trusted with the reins of
government", and that he knew of "a still more despicable opinion which General Hamilton has
expressed of Mr. Burr".[181] This led to the letters between Burr and Hamilton as seen in the show in
"Your Obedient Servant".
Critical analysis and scholarship
The show has been critiqued for a simplistic depiction of Hamilton and vilification of Jefferson. Joanne
B. Freeman, a history professor at Yale,[182] contrasted the show's Hamilton to the "real Hamilton [who]
was a mass of contradictions: an immigrant who sometimes distrusted immigrants, a revolutionary who
placed a supreme value on law and order, a man who distrusted the rumblings of the masses yet
preached his politics to them more frequently and passionately than many of his more democracy-
friendly fellows".[183]
Australian historian Shane White found the framing of the show's story "troubling", stating that he and
many historian colleagues "would like to imagine that Hamilton is a last convulsion of the founding
father mythology".[184] According to White, Miranda's depiction of the founding of the United States
"infuses new life into an older view of American history" that centered on the Founding Fathers, instead
of joining the many historians who were "attempting to get away from the Great Men story" by
incorporating "ordinary people, African-Americans, Native Americans and women" into a "more
inclusive and nuanced" historical narrative in which Hamilton has a "cameo rather than leading
role".[184]
Rutgers University professor Lyra Monteiro criticized the show's multi-ethnic casting as obscuring a
complete lack of identifiable enslaved or free persons of color as characters in the show.[185] Monteiro
identified other commentators, such as Ishmael Reed, who criticized the show for making Hamilton and
other historical personages appear more progressive on racial injustice than they really were.[185]
According to Reed, "[Hamilton's] reputation has been shored up as an abolitionist and someone who was
opposed to slavery," which Reed stated was untrue.[186]
In The Baffler, policy analyst Matt Stoller criticized the musical's portrayal of Hamilton as an idealist
committed to democratic principles, in contrast to what he characterized as the historical record of
Hamilton's reactionary, anti-democratic politics and legacy.[187] For example, Stoller cited Hamilton as a
leader involved in the Newburgh conspiracy (a military coup plot against the Continental Congress in
1783); his development of a national financial system which, in Stoller's view, empowered the plutocratic
elite; and his use of military force, indefinite detention, and mass arrests against dissenters during the
Whiskey Rebellion of 1791.[187] In 2007, history writer William Hogeland criticized Chernow's biography
of Hamilton on similar grounds in the Boston Review.[188]
In 2018, Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical Is Restaging America's Past was
published. Fifteen historians of early America authored essays on ways the musical both engages with
and sometimes misinterprets history.[189]
Theatre scholars Meredith Conti and Meron Langsner have both published written analyses of the place
of firearms and dueling in the musical.[190][191]
Writer and essayist Ishmael Reed wrote and produced the play The Haunting of Lin-Manuel Miranda,
which critiques Hamilton's historical inaccuracies.[192] The play, directed by Rome Neal, had an initial
run in May 2019 at Nuyorican Poets Cafe and was produced again in October 2019.[193]
Use in education
KQED News wrote of a "growing number of intrepid U.S. history teachers...who are harnessing the
Hamilton phenomenon to inspire their students".[194] The Cabinet rap battles provide a way to engage
students with topics that have traditionally been considered uninteresting.[194] An elective course for
11th and 12th graders on the musical Hamilton was held at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New
York.[194] KQED News added that "Hamilton is especially galvanizing for the student who believes that
stories about 18th century America are distant and irrelevant" as it shows the Founding Fathers were
real humans with real feeling and real flaws, rather than "bloodless, two-dimensional cutouts who
devoted their lives to abstract principles".[194] A high school teacher from the Bronx noted his students
were "singing these songs the way they might sing the latest release from Drake or Adele".[195] One
teacher focused on Hamilton's ability to write his way out of trouble and toward a higher plane of
existence: "skilled writing is the clearest sign of scholarship—and the best way to rise up and alter your
circumstance."[196]
Hamilton's producers have made a pledge to allow 20,000 New York City public high school students
from low-income families to get subsidized tickets to see Hamilton on Broadway by reducing their
tickets to $70 for students, and the Rockefeller Foundation provided $1.5 million to further lower ticket
prices to $10 per student.[197][198] The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History created a study
guide to accompany the student-ticket program.[197][198]
Through a private grant, over the course of the 2017 school year, nearly 20,000 Chicago Public School
students got to see a special performance of the show, and some got to perform original songs on stage
prior to the show.[199]
The website EducationWorld writes that Hamilton is "being praised for its revitalization of interest in
civic education".[200] Northwestern University announced plans to offer course work in 2017 inspired by
Hamilton, in history, Latino studies, and interdisciplinary studies.[201]
In 2016, Moraine Valley Community College started a Hamilton appreciation movement, Straight Outta
Hamilton, hosting panels and events that talk about the musical itself and relate them to current
events.[202][203]
Legacy and impact
$10 bill
In 2015, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced a redesign to the $10 bill, with plans to replace
Hamilton with a then-undecided woman from American history. Because of Hamilton's surging
popularity, almost exclusively due to the musical, United States Treasury Secretary Jack Lew reversed
the plans to replace Hamilton's portrait, instead deciding to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet
Tubman on the $20 bill.[204]
Hamilton: The Revolution

On April 12, 2016, Miranda and Jeremy McCarter's book,
Hamilton: The Revolution, was released, detailing Hamilton's Presentation by Jeremy
journey from an idea to a successful Broadway musical. It includes McCarter on Hamilton: The

Hamilton's America
After premiering on the New York Film Festival on October 1, 2016, PBS's Great Performances exhibited
on October 21, 2016 the documentary Hamilton's America. Directed by Alex Horwitz, it "delves even
deeper into the creation of the show, revealing Miranda's process of absorbing and then adapting
Hamilton's epic story into groundbreaking musical theater. Further fleshing out the story is newly shot
footage of the New York production with its original cast, trips to historic locations such as Mt. Vernon
and Valley Forge with Miranda and other cast members, and a range of interviews with prominent
personalities, experts, politicians, and musicians."[206] The film featured interviews with American
historians and Hamilton authorities.[207]
Hamilton: The Exhibition
Hamilton: The Exhibition was an interactive museum, which focused on the history concerning the life
of Alexander Hamilton and also the musical.[208] Designed to travel, it debuted in Chicago in April
2019.[209][210] Located in a specially built structure on Northerly Island, according to theater critic Chris
Jones, the exhibition marks something that "no Broadway show ever has attempted before."[211] Lead
producer of the exhibition was musical producer Jeffrey Seller, the artistic designer was David Korins,
and the main historical consultant was Yale University professor Joanne Freeman. Alex Lacamoire
provided the orchestration for the exhibit (in part, a take-off on the Hamilton score), and Lin-Manual
Miranda, actors, and historians provided recorded presentations.[211]
Hamilton for Puerto Rico
After Hurricane Maria, Lin-Manuel Miranda with family roots in

Vega Alta, Puerto Rico used his influence to bring attention to the
plight of the Puerto Rican people and to encourage tourism to Vega
Alta. In 2017, Miranda and his father, Luis Miranda Jr., inaugurated
the Placita Güisín, a café and restaurant in Vega Alta barrio-pueblo.
In 2019 Lin-Manuel moved his memorabilia to a new gallery, the
Lin-Manuel Miranda Gallery, within the Placita Güisín and opened a
merchandise store, TeeRico. The location has become a tourist
attraction.[212][213][214]

2016 Vice President–elect Pence controversy
Following a performance on November 18, 2016, with Vice President-elect Mike Pence in the audience,
Brandon Victor Dixon addressed Pence from the stage with a statement jointly written by the cast, show
creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and producer Jeffrey Seller.[215] Dixon began by quieting the audience, and
stated:
Vice President-elect Pence, we welcome you and we truly thank you for joining us here at
Hamilton: An American Musical, we really do. We, sir,—we—are the diverse America who
are alarmed and anxious that your new administration will not protect us, our planet, our
children, our parents, or defend us and uphold our inalienable rights, sir. But we truly hope
that this show has inspired you to uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all of
us. All of us. Again, we truly thank you truly for seeing this show, this wonderful American
story told by a diverse group of men and women of different colors, creeds and
orientations.[215]
Pence listened to the expression of concern about President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming
administration and later expressed that he was not offended.[216] However, Trump demanded an
apology[217] for what he described, on Twitter, as the cast having "harassed" Pence.[218] This led to an
online campaign called "#BoycottHamilton", which became widely mocked as the show was already sold
out months in advance.[219] Trump was criticized by The Washington Post, who noted the division
between white and non-white America in the 2016 Presidential election and suggested Trump could have
offered "assurances that he would be a president for all Americans—that he would respect everybody
regardless of race or gender or creed";[220] instead, as Presidential historian Robert Dallek expressed,
Trump's Twitter response was a "striking act of divisiveness by an incoming president struggling to heal
the nation after a bitter election",[220] with the Hamilton cast a proxy for those fearful of Trump's
policies and rhetoric. Jeffrey Seller, the show's lead producer, said that while Trump has not seen
Hamilton or inquired about tickets, he is "welcome to attend".[221]
Parodies
In April 2016, Jeb! The Musical appeared on the Internet with Jeb Bush in the place of Alexander
Hamilton,[222][223] with political figures like Donald Trump and Chris Christie holding supporting
roles.[224] A staged reading, given "just as much preparation as Jeb's campaign", was staged at
Northwestern University in June of that year.[225] The parody was crowdsourced, with contributions
coming from a range of writers - drawn from Yale University, Boston University, McGill University and
the University of Michigan - who met in a Facebook group named "Post Aesthetics".[226]
In 2016, Gerard Alessandrini, creator of Forbidden Broadway, wrote the revue Spamilton, which
premiered at the Triad Theater in New York and also played at the Royal George Theatre in Chicago. It
parodies Hamilton and other Broadway shows and caricatures various Broadway stars.[227][228]
On October 12, 2016, the American situation comedy Modern Family released the episode "Weathering
Heights". The episode features a scene where Manny applies for college. To do so he records a parody of
"Alexander Hamilton" as part of his application, complete with rewritten lyrics to accompany to his own
life. It is revealed that most of the other applications are also Hamilton parodies.[229]
Live stage filming

A 2016 stage performance with the original principal cast in the Richard Rodgers Theatre was filmed and
offered for bidding to major movie studios.[230] On February 3, 2020, it was revealed that Walt Disney
Studios had purchased the distribution rights for $75 million, with an original theatrical release date on
October 15, 2021.[231][232] Miranda later announced on May 12, 2020 that in light of the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the film industry and the performing arts, which shut down the Broadway, West
End and Touring Productions, the film would be released early on Disney+ on July 3, 2020, just in time
for Fourth of July weekend.[233][234][235]
Film adaptation
On February 10, 2017, Miranda revealed that In the Heights book writer Quiara Alegría Hudes wrote a
script for a film adaptation of Hamilton, but reassured that, while a film would be made someday, it
would not be made "...for years, so that people have ample time to see the stage version first."[236]
