Hamilton at Academy of Music

Portrayed by The Guardian, Hamilton was hailed as revolutionary theatre in 2015, with its rapping 18th-century statesmen, its funky, feelgood hip-hop and a cast predominantly comprising actors of color. Hamilton shattered records and won over the hearts of many when it introduced in 2015. Presenting an unforgettable hip-hop soundtrack by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Hamilton embraces a contemporary approach in narrating the history of America. To be fair, he referred to Hamilton as “the story of America then, as told by America now.”

Hamilton's remarkable success is undeniable. Not only has it risen as one of the most sought-after musicals of all time, but it is also encouraging next generations of theatregoers, who are drawn to the contemporary score and reinterpretation of American history. Hamilton's outstanding score and deep themes have transformed the narrative of one of America's Founding Fathers applicable internationally, showing the potential of creativity and the importance of representation in theatre.

The Chicago Tribune has only flattering remarks for the mesmerizing hip-hop rendition of the Founding Fathers in Hamilton. Chris Jones expressed, “For the Founding Father never had a friend so loyal and true as Lin-Manuel Miranda, whose audaciously ambitious and supremely executed new musical is surely the most entertaining, provocative and moving civics lesson in Broadway history...it's true that the language and nomenclature of "Hamilton" feel wildly fresh and distinctive...But what makes Miranda such a uniquely potent Broadway figure is that he also is steeped in the craft and tradition of the American musical and can forge melody and lyrics that hold up to the work of the old masters...Thomas Kail, the immensely skilled director of "Hamilton," not only unleashes all of this excitement with abandon, but he also forges a wholly consistent world, aided by the best work of choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler's career.”
