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

As well as the full text of the Libretto, this Hardback edition includes more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes from Miranda

It also 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 traces its development from an improbable perfor­mance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later

Their account also features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus

Exclusive looks at notebooks and emails

Interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sond­heim, and leading political commentators

As well as 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

Could make a great gift!
