The Musical Companion to the Critically Acclaimed Broadway Show
Limited Four Vinyl LP Box Set
Atlantic Records is pleased to present Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording), the musical companion to the critically acclaimed Broadway show, Hamilton. Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording) is executive produced by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, founding members of the Grammy Award winning hip-hop band, The Roots.
"Ten minutes into ‘Hamilton,' though, I was just so stunned. It was such a sucker punch," raves Thompson, reflecting on seeing the show for the first time, while Trotter highlights that the show, "can be your introduction to hip-hop – on Broadway. And it's a valid one. It's a credible one."
Hamilton has book, music and lyrics by Tony and Grammy Award-winning composer Lin Manuel Miranda, who also plays the title role. The musical is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and music direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. Hamilton is inspired by Ron Chernow's biography Alexander Hamilton.
Hamilton – which transferred to Broadway following a sold-out run at The Public Theater in NYC – is the acclaimed new musical about the scrappy young immigrant Alexander Hamilton, the $10 Founding Father who forever changed America with his revolutionary ideas and actions. During his life cut too short, he served as George Washington's chief aide, was the first Treasury Secretary, a loving husband and father, despised by his fellow Founding Fathers and shot to death by Aaron Burr in their legendary duel.
The original Broadway cast album of Hamilton, a fusion of hip-hop and pop-driven musical theater, is now available from Atlantic Records. Cast members from the blockbuster new musical Hamilton, which recently opened to widespread critical acclaim at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, began recording their parts for this release in August of 2015. This album was produced by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, founding members of the Grammy-winning hip-hop band, The Roots. Hamilton is a musical about Alexander Hamilton, with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The show was inspired by the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton, by historian Ron Chernow.
