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.
