Hamilton: The Revolution
The annotated Hamilton libretto plus the behind-the-scenes story of its making, Miranda's footnotes and McCarter's history of a Broadway phenomenon.
This oversized companion to the musical pairs the complete annotated libretto of Hamilton with Jeremy McCarter’s behind-the-scenes history of how the show was made. Miranda’s footnotes gloss his own lyrics, from hip-hop influences to hidden jokes, while the narrative traces the improbable journey from a mixtape idea to a Broadway phenomenon. Lavishly illustrated with rehearsal photos, it is part coffee-table book, part creative memoir, and a rare window into how a cultural landmark got written.
