Hamilton at Eccles Theater

This account of Alexander Hamilton's life, taking place during the late 1700s, is both inspiring and heartbreaking. The musical stays ageless and intriguing because of its expertly explored themes of love, loss, pardoning, and ambition. The tale is artfully told through hip-hop, showcasing a multicultural cast of black and brown performers. “It takes on a unique significance when you observe black and brown entertainers narrating the beginnings of our nation,” stated musician Lin Manuel Miranda.

The Guardian remarked on the show's unique setting and expressed nothing but positive remarks. The writer stated, “Its rousing opening scenes bring to mind us of that grand American concept of equality and address slavery and civil rights in the 18th century. “I never foresee making it past 20. Where I come from, some get half as many,” chants Hamilton at the beginning, and his words resonate the perilous destiny that is in store for numerous of America’s black or immigrant underprivileged class now, as debates concerning Black Lives Matter protests have highlighted.”

It’s undeniable - the musical score of Hamilton is different from any other theater musical. The variety of music styles, encompassing hip-hop, pop, and R&B, sets Hamilton apart from other musicals. Throughout the musical's 46 songs, the characters sing and rap approximately 20,000 lyrics at a pace of roughly 144 words per minute. Apart from its numerous accomplishments, Hamilton the Musical attained something a handful of stage shows have achieved: a Pulitzer Prize. This well-received musical garnered another accolade to its trophy case when it earned the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2016.

Fun fact: The lines in "Guns and Ships" hold the title for the fastest spoken lyrics in Broadway musical record. It’s absolutely a breath-stealing song!
