Its roll-call of glittering gongs includes 11 Tonys, seven Oliviers, the Pulitzer Prize for drama and a Grammy for best musical theatre album.
Blending hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B and Broadway, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s cultural phenomenon tells the story of America’s Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton. An immigrant from the West Indies, Hamilton became George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and helped shape the foundations of modern-day America.
“People love the show for so many different things,” says Sam Oladeinde, who plays Hamilton’s friend and then nemesis, Aaron Burr. “Every single element of the show is a strength - the choreography, the direction, the music, the band, the performances on stage, the sound, the lighting. The show has won record numbers of awards in the UK, in America, around the world, and that’s for a very good reason.”
