Hamilton, a self-described ‘hip-hop musical,’ was a smash hit when it opened on Broadway in 2015. Composer and star Lin-Manuel Miranda’s blend of history and rap music struck a chord with American audiences, as well as the powerful performances by Leslie Odom Jr., Renee Elise Goldsberry, and Daveed Diggs (to name just a few). It won 11 Tony Awards, including the biggest prize of the night, the award for Best Musical.
