The winner of 11 Tony Awards, Hamilton is one of the most successful Broadway musicals ever. It tells the story of America’s first treasury secretary using radio-ready pop and hip-hop songs. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the book, music, and lyrics, with direction by Thomas Kail, and choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler.
