More information about Hamilton
The Hamilton musical, based on the life of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton continues to take the world by storm. The epic sung-through musical details the life of the first Secretary of the Treasury in exquisite fashion and you’ll be humming the songs for days on end.
If you’ve never read about the American Revolution and the founding of the United States, buckle up for a musical history lesson you’ll never forget. Throughout Hamilton, you’ll meet all the important players including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison as they create a government and country. Not everyone is best pleased though, with King George III making appearances for a hilarious British vs. American rivalry.
The Hamilton musical is a 21st-century cultural phenomenon. Its creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda was catapulted to superstardom after playing the title role on Broadway. It’s also made stars of its original West End cast too, including Giles Terera and Jamael Westman. So go back in time to 18th-century America and witness the musical theatre marvel that is Hamilton in London.
What to Watch For:
- Most people know that Hamilton is a biographical musical detailing the life of the Founding Father. But, creating a musical based on one man isn't easy. So where did Lin-Manuel Miranda get his inspiration from? While on holiday, Lin-Manuel Miranda read Ron Chernow’s biography about the revolutionary, and early ideas for Hamilton were born.
- Lin-Manuel Miranda gave a work-in-progress performance of the opening song “Alexander Hamilton” at the White House in 2009 for President Barack Obama. The number would eventually become the show’s opening song. Since then, the original Broadway Hamilton cast performed at the White House.
- Miranda isn't a one-trick pony. His other musicals include In The Heights and Bring It On, and he's also worked on films such as Moana and Encanto.
- In London, Hamilton won seven Olivier Awards from 13 nominations. Currently, it equals the record for most Oliviers won by a musical, tied with Matilda the Musical.
- The Hamilton musical features traditional musical theatre songs, but there's plenty of rap too. The rap song “Guns and Ships” performed by the character, Marquis de Lafayette breaks records as the fastest song in any musical. There's an average of 6.3 words per second in the song. That's fast!
