Hamilton

Tyler and Beau discuss Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking Broadway Musical: Hamilton, its cultural impact, hip-hop roots, and the controversial nature of this historical re-imagining of both the American Revolution and founding of American Democracy.

For those that might not be aware, Hamilton: An American Musical is based on the life of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show, inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by historian Ron Chernow, has achieved both critical acclaim and box office success.
