I’ve never really understood all the remakes that end up on Broadway, especially when there is talent like Lin-Manuel Miranda out there waiting to be heard from. His HAMILTON is nothing short of brilliant. Based on the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, Miranda presents the story of this fascinating American personality in Hip Hop format. Yep, rhyming words, snappy beats, innovative choreography, and current colloquialisms reveal the evolution of one of our country’s founding fathers. And this gentleman led a life driven by both ambition and morality, a distinctively unusual combination.
In addition to creating lyrics that are clever, music that is upbeat, and a story that is captivating, Miranda plays Hamilton himself. He is joined by a multitude of talented folks. Jonathan Groff is a scene stealer as King George, and Daveed Diggs shines as both Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. In fact you would be hard-pressed to find someone not impressive on the stage at any time. History comes alive in a most unique manner in HAMILTON, a play that is making history on Broadway. Treat yourself to the experience.
