Astounding Music<\/h2>\n

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Award Winning Soundtrack<\/span>\"Hamilton<\/p>\n

When Hamilton first premiered on Broadway, it created history. Described by Miranda as a \u201clove letter to hip-hop\u201d, Hamilton\u2019s soundtrack features some of the sharpest lyrics delivered by phenomenal performers. Like a wizard, Miranda crafted a magical soundtrack that transports the audience into the world of Hamilton and its characters. Fans of hip-hop and casual viewers alike will be arrested by numbers such as \u2018It\u2019s Quiet Uptown\u2019, \u2018My Shot\u2019, \u2018Satisfied\u2019 and \u2018The Room Where It Happens\u2019. Fun fact: Miranda first envisioned the musical as a concept album: \u2018The Hamilton Mix-Tape\u2019.<\/p>\n

History Reassessed<\/h2>\n

A Reckoning with America’s Past<\/span>\"Hamilton<\/p>\n

One of the main reasons Hamilton stood out as a production was Lin-Manuel Miranda\u2019s choice to cast diverse actors for white character roles. If this seems odd, hear him out: \u201cThis is a story about America then, told by America now\u201d. By having a diverse cast play the Founding Fathers of America, Miranda highlights how America was built from the labour of immigrants, slaves and women. Part-fiction, the musical is bound to leave you with plenty of food for thought.<\/p>\n

It tells the tale of a hard-working immigrant\u2019s struggles and eventual success. Hamilton takes the audience on an emotional journey. We watch the protagonist struggle through poverty, war, and personal tragedy, and emerge as a Founding Father!<\/p>\n
