Hamilton Musical
Introduction
The selected musical Hamilton is based on the story of an implausible Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. It summarizes, his early life as an orphan in the Caribbean. Hamilton was born out of wedlock in the West Indies his father abandoned him, and his mother died when Hamilton was 12. By the of 19, Hamilton has made his way to the American colonies, a dedicated supporter of American independence.
Alexander Hamilton was disliked by many people but, he is now popular because of a hit Broadway show created by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Hamilton was born on January 11, 1755 or 1757 in Charleston, Nevis in the British West Indies. He was abandoned by his father which made him an orphan at the age of 13. Hamilton started attending school in Elizabethtown, New Jersey but, plans changed, and he entered Kings College. At the age of 17 he was already interested in government. Later, in 1776 he was introduced to George Washington. He became Washington’s advisor not long after that. Some main events that changed Hamilton’s life were his family, his accomplishments, and George Washington.
Lights. Curtains. Action! The new hit musical on Broadway is what critics are raving about. Hamilton written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter is a more modern musical that embodies the style of rap and hip hop! The play is famous for its incredibly genius lyrics that is unlike traditional Broadway music and aims at teaching young people history in a unique way. It uncovers the story of one of our founding fathers who was an immigrant and helped found this country. This is none other than the first secretary of the treasury: Alexander Hamilton. Many characters surrounding Hamilton support his role along with Aaron Burr who is a rather controversial character that is seen in the play. He compliments Hamilton well and easily identifies with the audience as a main supporting character that is always seen alongside Hamilton. Contrary to popular belief, Aaron Burr is not a villain in this story, but is more of a friend to his companion on stage and supports Hamilton’s role throughout the entire play (despite killing him in the end).
Lin-Manuel Miranda has encapsulated millions of people around the world with his musical Hamilton. I was exposed to the actor/broadway performer my junior year in American History. Our teacher put on his White House Poetry Jam performance, the first time he presented the concept of Hamilton. However, it was definitely not his last.
This story is written by me and based off the broadway musical Hamilton. The Main character in Hamilton is Alexander Hamilton. In the original story he falls in love with Eliza Schuyler (pronounced skyler) and marries her.
Hamilton is a famous musical about one of America’s founding fathers that in the past few years has provided students around the country discounted or free tickets to view. This project has allowed thousands of students to view the hit musical that is described as a “Hip-Hop-Infused History Lesson” by the New York Times.
Hamilton is a Hip-hop history lesson. This musical tells the story of the first american immigrant, Alexander Hamilton, and the formation of The United States of America around the time of the Revolutionary war. This show is so unique not only because it is telling the history of our country in the form of Hip-hop. It was said by the writer of Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda, that the casting choices are a very important part of the show because he did not want it as it was in the past but more modern. The main characters (the founding fathers) are played by latinos, blacks

Hamilton and the Economy
Since the birth of the country, there have been many influences on its development. The economy in particular has been an area of great importance. Many people have been factors in the growth of the United States’ economy. Perhaps the earliest and most influential of these was Alexander Hamilton. As shown in his effective policies, such as assumption of Revolutionary War debts, practical taxation, formation of the National Bank, and views on manufacturing, Hamilton was a dominant force from the beginning.
The musical Hamilton was in many ways the spark that ignites the flame for me. Not only does it talk about the beginning of America but also it focuses on the fact that Hamilton, an immigrant, didn’t have a fair start in the race for recognition in our country. Regardless, he climbed
I chose this topic for my I-Search because of my love of theater and history. I recently fell in love with the new hit musical, Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
