‘Hamilton’ is an on-screen adaptation of a hugely successful musical of the same name. The “movie” is an untouched recording of a performance of the musical and that proves to be the best means of an adaptation since the original production was critically acclaimed. It is based on a biographical novel, ‘Alexander Hamilton’ by Ron Chernow, and revolves around the titular founding father of the nation.
The musical was acclaimed for its usage of modern storytelling methods and music to tell a story set in the past. Apart from that, the musical is also appreciated for its casting of non-white actors in the role of Caucasian historical figures. The music is composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda who also stars in the production as Hamilton. Some of the other cast members include Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs, Christopher Jackson, and multiple others.
