Explained simply
Hamilton is a stage musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda about the life of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founders of the United States. It tells the story through a mix of hip-hop, R&B and traditional show tunes, and its original Broadway cast recording helped bring the musical to a much wider audience.
Miranda wrote the music, lyrics and book, and played Hamilton in the original production. The cast recording became the first Broadway cast album to earn Diamond certification from the US recording industry, while the musical won 11 Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. These milestones help explain the show’s lasting place in American theatre and popular music.
