About this product

Product Information

Winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Eleven Tony Awards, including Best Musical Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject, the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation. HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION gives readers an unprecedented view of both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages-- since before this was even a show, according to Miranda--traces its development from an improbable perfor-mance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing foottes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here. Their account features photos by the rewned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at tebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sond-heim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by Presi-dent Obama himself. The book does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phemen: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don't throw away their shot.

  • Love It!!

    Had been looking for this book since falling in love with Lin-Manuel and his musical Hamilton. Such a good book with interesting insight into the process of writing and mankind a Broadway play. Love that the hard cover is like an old boom and the pages feel and look like parchment paper (not flimsy, quite thick pages which is good). Absolutely love it! A+++
