Since making its Broadway debut nearly nine years ago, Hamilton has gone on to become a phenomenon in the United States and beyond thanks to its innovative treatment of its historical source material.

Based on a biographical book by Ron Chernow and featuring music and lyrics by songwriter, singer, and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, it uses a whopping 20,520 words, an energetic fusion of hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and Broadway influences, and a diverse cast to bring the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton's rise and fall to the stage.
