Beschreibung
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 performance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here.
Their account features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sondheim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by President Obama himself. The book does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: 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.

this book is great! people who saw the show get a closer look into the making and development of the show. people, like me, who just hear about it and can't see the show because we are not anywhere near NYV-where-it-happens, can get all the infos through the book to understand the 'audio book' of songs better. and god, the photos....the photographer is a genius!
I enjoyed every minute reading this book. When I first got it, I thought I would never read it and just keep it as a trophy (haha), but picking it up was the best experience. I played and stopped the songs, read the notes, laughed, cried and told my boyfriend every little detail I soaked in (oh, he’s so lucky). Absolutely loved it!
I think this is a great addition for the fans of Hamilton or for people that are at least familiar with the songs. Since I am neither (no, I don't live under a rock), this is interesting in terms of getting some background about the musical theater world and the process of conception and implementation of a show. I listened to the audio version that comes with the annotated lyrics book in PDF.
