Summary:
A report about "Hamilton", the unorthodox musical currently selling out on Broadway and attracting such luminaries as President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney. The lead actor and playwright of "Hamilton" is Lin-Manuel Miranda, and he uses a combination of hip-hop and rap along with popular music to portray Alexander Hamilton's life -- all sung and danced by a diverse cast. Miranda also created the winner of the 2008 Tony for best musical, "In The Heights". Includes interviews with: Lin-Manuel Miranda; Luis Miranda and Luz Towns-Miranda, Miranda's parents; and Ron Chernow, author of "Alexander Hamilton" and the show's historical advisor. Also includes a comment by Tommy Kail, the director of "Hamilton".
