    Hamilton: An American Musical

    Hamilton: An American Musical is a sung- and rapped-through musical about


    the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, with music, lyrics and book
    by Lin-Manuel Miranda,[1][2] inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by
    historian Ron Chernow. Notably incorporating hip-hop, rhythm and blues, pop music,
    soul music, traditional-style show tunes and color-conscious casting of non-white actors
    as the Founding Fathers and other historical figures,[3][4][5] the musical achieved both
    critical acclaim and box office success.

    The musical made its Off-Broadway debut at The Public Theater in February
    2015, where its engagement was sold out.[6] The show transferred to Broadway in
    August 2015 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. On Broadway, it received enthusiastic
    critical reception and unprecedented advance box office sales.[7] In 2016, Hamilton
    received a record-setting 16 Tony nominations, winning 11, including Best Musical,
    and was also the recipient of the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album
    and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The prior off-Broadway production of Hamilton
    won the 2015 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical as well as seven other
    Drama Desk Awards out of 14 total nominated categories.

    The Chicago production of Hamilton began preview performances at the CIBC


    Theatre in September 2016 and officially opened the following month.[8] The first U.S.
    national tour of the show began performances in March 2017.[9] A production of
    Hamilton will open in the West End in December 2017 at the Victoria Palace
    Theatre.[10] A second U.S. tour is also set to begin performances in early 2018.[11]

    On February 14, 2017, Miranda confirmed that a film adaptation based on the
    musical is in the works.[12]
