Hamilton, the hit musical. Book, Music and Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler. Directed by Thomas Kail.

Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and show tunes, "Hamilton" has taken the story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton and created a revolutionary moment in theater--a musical that has had a profound impact on culture, politics, and education.

Based on the life of Alexander Hamilton, the explosively popular, critically acclaimed musical married hip-hop and Broadway in previously unimaginable ways and lifted Hamilton higher in the pantheon of the Founding Fathers, while humanizing him in touching and inspiring ways.

Hamilton is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love, and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation.

The Broadway cast of Hamilton takes to the streets of the greatest city in the world for a special 10th-anniversary performance of “My Shot.”

Hamilton: An American Musical is the Broadway musical about the life of American Secretary of Treasury and Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, with the lyrics, music, and book written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and based on the biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.

See Hamilton on Broadway, by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Tickets available this week for the Tony-, Grammy-, and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical.

The orphan Alexander Hamilton experiences a difficult early life, but through his wits and the charity of the people of his hometown, he escapes his home—the island of St. Croix —and immigrates to New York City ("Alexander Hamilton").
