Hamilton: An American Musical

Hamilton: An American Musical is a Musical about the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show, inspired by historian Ron Chernow's biography of Hamilton, has enjoyed enormous success both in the box office and among critics.

The musical made its Off-Broadway debut in February 2015, but moved up to Broadway by August. In 2016, Hamilton received a record-setting 16 Tony Awards 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. It is still bloody impossible to get tickets.
