Hamilton at Durham Performing Arts Center

It’s the life story of the American Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, told like never before. It’s a modern retelling of the United State’s newfound freedom, liberty and constitution as seen from the perspective of its first secretary - a poetic dreamer, a goofball, an impassioned nation-builder - but with a slight twist. It’s a modern stage sensation, and it has taken the world by storm!

You might wonder about the old-America-meets-modern-America thing.

Modern retelling of iconic history

The answer is simple. The story about America then, is told by America now. This means everything you could possibly expect from a world-class musical and more: {almost every popular modern musical genres ranging from R&B and from hip hop to soul, pop and traditional-style show tunes, an emotional rollercoaster {that will take you through it all - from the burn of purpose to the elation of new love, from gnawing regret to finding the quiet moments in a hurricane|that will have you feeling everything deep in your flesh, bones, and soul, clever and humorous dialogue delivered either in song or rap, dazzling costumes, and wonderful and effective set designs. And even though Hamilton is about something historical, it has also made history!

And the wow-factor? The fact that modern rap is quite effective in this setting, and that Hamilton has the narrative force and emotional depth to take everything to the next level. With its premiere off-Broadway in 2015 and moving swiftly into Broadway’s Richard Rodgers Theatre, followed by its West End premiere in 2017, Hamilton made its mark. Think we’re overexaggerating? Let the proof be in the accolades. Not only did Hamilton rack up ten Lucille Lortel Awards, but also three Outer Critics Circle Awards, eight Drama Desk Awards, eleven Tony Awards, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama among many others.
