The Musical:

• Hamilton is a groundbreaking stage musical that blends hip-hop, R&B, pop, and traditional musical theater to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the architects of the U.S. financial system and the first Secretary of the Treasury.
• Created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the music, lyrics, and book, the show premiered Off-Broadway in 2015 before transferring to Broadway later that year, where it became a massive cultural phenomenon.
• It has also become one of the most acclaimed musicals in modern theater history, winning 11 Tony awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Book, Best Direction, and others. The cast recording also went on to win a Grammy.
• In 2016, Hamilton won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, a rare honor for a musical. The Pulitzer committee praised the musical for its blend of contemporary language and historical storytelling.
• The film version on the Blu-Ray is not a movie-style adaptation, rather a filmed performance that took place at The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway in June of 2016, transporting the audience into the world of the Broadway show in a uniquely intimate way.
