Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject, the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country’s origins for a diverse new generation. Hamilton: The Revolution gives listeners an unprecedented insight into both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages—“since before this was even a show,” according to Miranda—traces its development from an improbable performance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Emmy– and Gold Globe–winning actor Mariska Hargitay lends her voice to the audiobook and Miranda reads more than 300 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is included on the PDF with this audiobook. The audiobook does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don’t throw away their shot.

Fantastic listening experience -- but if you're a real Hamilton fan, you'll want all of the images too!
- I LOVED learning about the construction of Hamilton and all of the development and stage secrets of the musical. This is clearly meant for people who will never be satisfied ;) with the amount of Hamilton trash that is abundantly available. The narrator (Mariska Hargitay) is absolutely fantastic, but all of the little annotations and anecdotes from Lin that pop up in the print version are all bundled together without context at the end of the audiobook. If they had been able to be sprinkled throughout, this would've been 5 stars.
