A through-composed musical based on the personal experiences of Alexander Hamilton, the first U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and one of America’s Founding Fathers, premiered on Broadway in 2015, winning a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album and a Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Based on the life of Alexander Hamilton, the musical intertwines historical events during the American Revolutionary War with a personal and emotional story, as Hamilton’s struggles, ideals, loves and tragedies are brought to life through subtle lyrics and dialog.
The musical’s successful blend of history and modern pop culture has garnered numerous accolades and awards, and its unique narrative and musical style has become a landmark in contemporary theater arts.
Disney’s release of the film version of Hamilton goes beyond simply documenting the stage performances, and brings the essence and charm of the musical even more vividly to life through multi-angle, multi-layered filming and editing, and close coordination between stage lighting and cinematography.
