'''''Hamilton: An American Musical''''', popularly known as '''''Hamilton''''', is a musical written in 2015 by Lin-Manuel Miranda<ref>"Hamilton musical (2015)". All Musicals. Retrieved 4 May 2017.</ref> about the life and legacy of [[Alexander Hamilton]], one of the [[Founding Fathers]] of the United States of America. 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.

''Hamilton'' is almost entirely historically accurate, helping to bring history to life, and is the story of an illegitimate child rising above the conditions he was born into become one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. ''Hamilton'' is the story of hard work, loyalty, and persistence. ''Hamilton'' also appreciates a variety of musical genres, and does them all justice, leading to a greater appreciation for the styles of music shown.

Language is peppered throughout, with some of the large numbers having worse language. Hamilton [[adultery|cheats on his wife]]. Jefferson is portrayed as the enemy of everything Hamilton is trying to accomplish and is portrayed as far off and elitist; in reality, Jefferson was for the people and more down-to-earth. [[Hercules Mulligan]] makes frequent use of sexual innuendo in the track ''Aaron Burr, sir''.  ''Hamilton'' also brushes over the probable [[Homosexuality|relationship]] between [[John Laurens]] and Hamilton himself.
