What is Hamilton about? Hamilton is a melodic based around the American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton and his climb out of destitution and war. 

What is the style of the show? Hip-bounce, R&B, pop and conventional show tunes and it gives non-white entertainers a role as the establishing fathers. 

Name a character you like - I adored the lord due to the manner in which he was singing just as rapping and in light of the fact that I know the person that plays him from different musicals. 

What did you think? I really preferred it all the more then I figured I would and I was so amazed when the person who played Alexander Hamilton realized every one of his words so well and expressed them so plainly. 

I would suggest viewing the 2 hour long melodic!
