Hamilton (musical)
''Hamilton'' is a musical with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show was inspired by the 2004 biography ''Alexander Hamilton'' by historian Ron Chernow.
The musical made its Off-Broadway debut at The Public Theater in February 2015, where its engagement was sold out.〔 The show transferred to Broadway that summer, opening on August 6, 2015 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. On Broadway, it has received enthusiastic critical acclaim and unprecedented advance box office sales.〔
The 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 nominations. The Broadway production will be considered for Tony Awards in the upcoming 2016 ceremony.
==Background==
While on a vacation from his hit Broadway show ''In The Heights'', Lin-Manuel Miranda decided to pick up a biography to read on his trip. At the airport he purchased and began reading ''Alexander Hamilton'' by Ron Chernow, a comprehensive biography of Alexander Hamilton's life. Miranda quickly began envisioning the life of Hamilton as a musical and researched whether or not a stage musical of Hamilton's life had been created. A play of the story had been done on Broadway in 1917, starring George Arliss as Alexander Hamilton.〔("''Hamilton'' (play) 1917" ) IBDB, accessed August 12, 2015〕 Upon Miranda's discovery that a musical had not yet been done, he began his work. It began as a project titled "The Hamilton Mixtape" that Miranda worked on during his spare time from ''Heights''. On May 12, 2009, Miranda performed at the White House Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word where he performed the opening number from The Hamilton Mixtapes. He spent a year after that working on another early number from the show, "My Shot."〔Viagas, Robert. ("Beach Read to Broadway!
