Hamilton is a sung-and-rapped-through musical by the American composer and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda. Composed over a seven-year period from 2008 to 2015, the musical tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. 

《汉密尔顿》是美国作曲家兼演员林-曼努埃尔·米兰达 (Lin-Manuel Miranda) 创作的一首唱腔式音乐剧。这部音乐剧创作于 2008 年至 2015 年的七年间，讲述了美国国父亚历山大·汉密尔顿的故事。

Alexander Hamilton was a founding father of the United States, who fought in the American Revolutionary War, helped draft the Constitution, and served as the first secretary of the treasury. He was the founder and chief architect of the American financial system.

The songs in Hamilton, which blend a variety of musical styles, encompassing rap and hip-hop but also British Invasion, power ballads, showtunes, and so much more, are not only uniquely exhilarating, but also works of genius in how they're structured, and how they reference both the history of the story they're telling and the musical genres they're indebted too. 

By James Hunt from ScreenRent

“音乐剧新经典。辞藻华丽的嘻哈讲述的不只是汉密尔顿的生平，也是关于一个国家的诞生，甚至能看到两党制的源头。这个夏天美国国父们的雕像被推倒了一座座，而“汉密尔顿”高瞻远瞩的启用了女性、有色人种和LGBT组成多元阵容，赋予立国神话更现代进步、理想光芒的演绎。那个年轻、躁动、进取的美国今天还在吗？贯穿始终的‘I am not throwing away my shot’ 希望是回答。”
