The musical is innovative, with a variety of genres of music being used to portray the story, but with an emphasis on hip-hop and rap. The play is also notable because it portrays the Founding Fathers as people of color; indeed, the entire cast with the exception of Samuel Seabury and King George is composed of people of color. After hitting Broadway in 2015, it became a national phenomenon. It has since left Broadway, and will continue to tour off-Broadway with a non-original cast. It is currently the only album on Billboard to have received a perfect five-star rating, as well.

The play is composed of almost entirely music. There is little dialogue between scenes, and, as a result, one can listen to the cast album and have a perfect idea of what is going on. ''Hamilton'' is not the first rap musical to hit Broadway.
