What's Hamilton about?
After the success of his first musical In the Heights, Lin-Manuel Miranda chose to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States, for his next musical. The artistic team was inspired by the biography written by historian Ron Chernow which they used to create a show considered to be ground breaking by critics.
Over two and a half hours, the musical traces the life of this influential political figure: from his orphan childhood in the Caribbean to his political rise through his military involvement in the American Revolution. Hamilton will go on to become Secretary of the Treasury (the equivalent of our Chancellor of Exchequer) to President Washington. Duels, affairs, betrayals, rivalries... all the ingredients to make Hamilton a truly epic musical!
Why should you see Hamilton?
After several months of work following the closure of the musical Billy Elliot, the Victoria Palace Theatre in London became home to Hamilton. A real phenomenon in the United States, Hamilton: An American Musical was first performed at the Public Theater in New York in February 2015, before being moved to the Richard Rodgers Theatre in August 2015, where it has a full house every night.
Sixteen 2016 Tony Award nominations and eleven awards, a Grammy Award for "Best Musical Album" and a Pulitzer Prize for the show's libretto... Hamilton has already gone down in history. With compositions inspired by rap, hip-hop, r ‘n’ b and gospel music, Lin-Manuel Miranda has achieved a real tour de force and has brilliantly imposed a brand new, revolutionary style on the world of musicals.
Hamilton is a perfect show to see with friends, as its somewhere between history and entertainment. Its ultra-fluid staging is an example for directors all over the world. Get your tickets!
