Meet the Musical: Hamilton
Music, moments, and must-know details before opening night in Orlando

The unforgettable story of passion, unstoppable ambition and the dawn of a new nation, seen by more than 28 million people around the world.

Hamilton is the epic saga that follows the rise of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton as he fights for honor, love and a legacy that would shape the course of a nation. Based on Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography and set to a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway, Hamilton has had a profound impact on culture, politics and education. Hamilton features book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. In addition to its 11 Tony Awards®, it has won Grammy® and Olivier Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

• You prefer music that feels current and relatable. The musical styling is more modern, blending hip-hop, pop, and R&B influences. It often feels closer to a concert or spoken storytelling than a classic musical.
• You like shows that move quickly and hold your attention. The story is fast-paced, with very little downtime, so there’s always something happening onstage. This makes it easy to stay engaged through the action-packed plot.
• You don’t see musicals often but want an easy one to enjoy. You don’t need prior Broadway experience or deep historical knowledge to follow along. The characters, emotions, and themes are clear, making the show approachable for casual theatergoers.
