It's a musical that brings the world with a storm
The story of Alexander Hamilton,
one of the more obscure founders,
told through the media hip-hop,
Enchanted Americans
and be an overnight sensation
This drama is exciting to see .
Production itself just so alive
You go there and walk out and you fly
I become part of the choir people say to people,
"This is really something."
The show makes an instant star
from the young creator,
Lin-Manuel Miranda,
who has a single vision changed Broadway,
brought voices and faces from 21st Century America
to retell from the history of his people.
This is extraordinary he took
a traditional American message
and turn it into a contemporary hip-hop word
a great story
It really marks the watershed When on Broadway,
not only because the inclusion of hip-hop,
but for the way it has changed
and opened space
for people with colors on the road it's amazing to see
He's a genius.
He represents something that we haven't seen
on Broadway in a very long time -
independent auteur.
There are only a few people I can think on Broadway
who wrote the script, wrote the lyrics,
wrote music and starred in shows.
This is the story of Hamilton: Phenomenon, history,
and extraordinary men Talent making everything happened.
Having someone who is very well read,
charismatic, becoming a pop culture, Historically smart -
she married all three of these things together.
It feels like this weird strand of dynamite
It hit Broadway and it was like... boom!
When "Hamilton" first aired
in February 2015, This was an instant hit.
Universally recognized by critics,
the game soon becomes
the hottest ticket in New York City,
with queues Stretching around block.
A mixture of impossible history, hip-hop and musical theater
has captured almost everyone with surprise,
and as "Hamilton" Phenomenon grows,
public attention Fast focus
on the show charismatic creators and stars,
Lin- Manuel Miranda. </ P>
This Lin-Manuel Miranda
is an actor, singer,
a rapper,
a librarian, a composer.
He works mainly in musical theater
But he's also done television and films.
He's one of the most powerful , galvanized power now
in American musicals theater scene
He went to Wesleyan,
which is a good liberal /> art school
That's when he started
to combine a lot of his interests from his youth
to grow in New York, in music theater, in hip-hop,
salsa and other types latino music
He started using them to forge a musical of his own
in the end will form a kind of revolution
in what musical theater could be.
He is rare,
especially because he is also a player.
Lin one the only thing missing
is Lin is not a director or choreographer.
He may be a director.
He is a capable and talented person. < br /> He can do it.
Born in 1980 for Puerto Rican parents,
Miranda grew up in a Latino environment
from both Washington Heights and Inwood
in New York Upper Manhattan.
Giving to music and performing arts
shows itself at a young age,
and gives it a place < br /> at liberal arts college
Wesleyan University in the late 90s.
It was at Wesleyan, that young Lin-Manuel
first began to combine the interests of his twin
hip-hop and theater;
he founded an improvisation hip-hop group
called & apos; Freestyle Love Supreme & apos;
and performed in many musicals
and theater productions on campus.
But that happened his second year at Wesleyan
that Lin-Manuel extraordinary talent started
to separate him from his peers.
He began writing the first draft from "On the Plateau",
musical with an unusual mix of from Latin music,
salsa and rap elements it's been determined
in Dominican-American environment
from Washington Heights in New York City.
Together with the young theater director Thomas Kail,
Miranda developed her game
became full of breath Broadway production,
which premiered in Connecticut in 2005,
before finally achieving a big opening
on Broadway in 2008.
I like musicals. I want life in a musical.
I know I'm not will never go to get players as Bernardo.
Because I don't dance... I'm not a ballet dancer.
I know I've never will be fired
in "Man of La Mancha"
because I don't have opera voice
And if you want to be in the musical
and you're a Puerto Rican man, that's all you get
That's what in the canon
So I started writing " On the Highlands "
because I want to make a way for myself. </ P>
This is a story about Dominican Americans
lived in Washington Heights in New York
which Lin-Manuel Miranda came from.
So this is a kind of story from people's lives this
who has dreams and aspirations hopes and desires
to realize the American dream.
"On the Plateau" for me
found him like the new Spike Lee.
This is a brilliant part of this from the writing
On the surface Do you think this story
about the struggle, which one,
and also family and this cultural diversity
where you see this Latin family at Heights in Manhattan,
but this is actually the story /> about gentrification
"On the Plateau" is very traditional music.
What makes it different from that tradition
does it use a different sound
than previously used in such a way
in musical stories on Broadway.
Specifically, It joins, in its initial form,
hip-hop and Latin music.
We don't have many Latino shows on Broadway.
I think of "West Side Story" and "On the Plateau".
That's the level. Lin is the son of New York City.
Many shows on Broadway tend to be set in the past
or in a kind of fantasy world -
fantasy world "Lion King"
or 19th century opera house, from "The Phantom of the Opera".
Lin's performance is contemporary.
That is his life in the Highlands, people- people in the neighborhood.
- 96,000! - Damn it!
- 96,000! Shout!
96,000!
- That's a lot of spray cans. - 96,000...
Yo, if I win tomorrow tomorrow
I know I won't bother going
Without fantasizing
I'll choose a business school and pay the entrance fee!
Then maybe if you're lucky, you will still be friends with me!
I'll be an entrepreneur, richer than Nina's father!
Donald Trump and I on the link
And he is my caddy! </ P>
My money is increasing
I go from there po & apos ; to mo & apos; dough!
Keep bling, I want a brass ring,
Like Frodo
Oh no, this is Mr. Braggadocio
The next thing you know, he lied like Pinocchio...
Only the language, the excitement...
When "On the Plateau" is on Broadway
is really interesting cultural moment
That's very strong
and many are rooted in Lin-Manuel skills.
Exceptional charisma from Lin-Manuel Miranda,
it's the first time we've seen that
coming through musicals
written by that person who plays it
Important to note that both are in "In the Heights"
and especially in "Hamilton",
a lot of written by the author
In order for him to appear,
know what he can do This is very rare. </ P>
"On the Highlands" proved to be a spectacular success,
and set up Miranda
as a big new voice in musical theater.
The drama was nominated for thirteen Tony awards,
won for Best Musical, Best Original Score,
Best Choreography and Best Orchestration
and picked up Grammy awards for Best Musical
and the nomination for Pulitzer Prizes for Drama.
Yes! I mean...
I expected it because... I don't know
You have to think, dream big if you will get there
But I expect it at the same level
as you expected a Jedi knight when you were three years old
and you've seen "Return of the Jedi".
I never knew it will come true
So I feel very blessed and love to be here
with this event already hard work of love... </ p >
... for eight years.
A few months after "In the Heights" was opened
on Broadway,
Lin- Manuel reads historians Ron Chernow's biography
from Alexander Hamilton
This is proven a life-changing event.
One of the more obvious founders
some Americans will know a lot about Hamilton,
besides that his face appears on a ten-dollar bill. </ P>
But Miranda is fascinated with the story
and starts imagining it a new project:
a musical based around life from Alexander Hamilton
Alexander Hamilton might be the most important person
of the American Revolution who is not the president
Alexander Hamilton was born
out of wedlock in the West Indies.
He is orphan at the time he was 14 years old.
He struggled. He was very lucky
to have several people who were his supporters,
The booster and that's the way He ends up in New York.
As a young man he knows poverty. He has seen it.
He has experienced it. <
Hamilton's early life lasted
during the most critical period in American history
Revolutionary War broke out
br /> While he is still a student,
and young Hamilton take full part
in political turbulence from time,
goes up become one of the most important figures
at birth American Independence.
Alexander Hamilton starts writing
for support revolution
when is he fair a young student
He is very active in the military,
He is in constitutional convention.
He is instrumental
getting New York to ratify the constitution.
Then, he become the first finance minister,
put the United States in a truly healthy financial footing
He has a vision for America
It was one of the industries military strength and strength
That was a huge contrast
for some from other founding founders
like Jefferson and Madison,
who saw us as an agrarian society
with a large middle class
and only suburban elements in upper and lower classes.
The fact that this is indeed the case whose vision won
will anyone see today
it refers to what some might consider
America's greatness, is it really or not
So I suggest That's its meaning.
The financial institutions and the economy we have
are all based on the principles, and really they are themselves.
Alexander Hamilton is a true capitalist,
a true capitalist who believes
that's free trade the best for this country,
the best for traders in the end,
and the best for customers in the end.
This will reduce prices,
it will produce a better product
at the same time
he will not recognize the system we have now
He certainly isn't a supporter
government support ordinary people.
But no In the 18th century.
Inspired by Ron Chernow's Biography,
Miranda starts to write material
around Hamilton live
which will eventually form the basis of a show
He called it "Hamilton Mixtape". </ P>
He has everything in his life that makes for a big story,
that makes good music </ p >
and in many ways this might be surprising
needed until the 21st century
that we have based games
on the life of from Alexander Hamilton,
I think this is rather surprising what Lin-Manuel decided
to do the whole music
based on life from Alexander Hamilton,
especially after finishing "On the Highlands" before.
I don't know if you read
biography from Alexander Hamilton and thought,
"Wow, this will happen Very good hip-hop music."
This is a strange choice from source material
but at the same time it's clear that Lin-Manuel looks at the elements
in biography Alexander Hamilton
that he can use to make
stories about nature of American characters
and American dreams that he wants to say.
Apa Lin-Manuel seems to focus < br /> through hip-hop, of course,
is the story of a man who made himself,
someone young and hungry actually -
that's one of the main lyrics -
and come to the United States to start a new life
and finally rise to heights
he alone can never be able to guess
That's the impact of aspiration and the urge to play.
Lin-Manuel the vision for "Hamilton"
is to tell the story
from a founder via hip-hop
That is a radical idea, matching historical narrative
with ethically diverse players and music rap.
And that will be something really new for Broadway,
which in 2008, ready to shake-up. </ p >
Broadway managed to get past it a difficult time
in the late 60s and into the 70s.
New York City was bankrupt
Times Square is dangerous.
There is no such thing as "Lion King"
or family shows in 1975.
And like many other businesses in New York City at that time,
Broadway can't go New York. </ P>
Where will Broadway go? New Jersey? No.
Broadway must survive.
The only way He knows how to survive
found young, creative people,
Lin-Manuel Mirandas their day to return
who created the show suddenly became the attraction
that people want to see. </ P>
So if you come back four years ago,
Lin-Manuel Miranda from the early 70s
was a man named Michael Bennett,
who is a choreographer, who has a dream of a show
about the dancers in the choir a show on Broadway,
gypsies that we call them.
From there he an event called " A Chorus Line ",
which is" Hamilton " from the day
It was opened on Broadway in Times Square
at Schubert Theater,
Suddenly this business who is almost dead
has life in it again.
Then in the 80s, and we have English to thank you for this,
Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd Webber
come with this fully cockamamie ideas for musicals
about children's poetry about cats
It turned out to be the most successful event
in Broadway history
and making so much money for this industry and New York City
that began to be raised the fate of Broadway,
Times Square and New York City.
Then when you start having it things like "Les Miserables"
and "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Miss Saigon", </ p >
You have Broadway It's no longer a remote area
from the entertainment industry,
but businesses that literally generate billions of dollars
Here shows trips around the world.
By the time "Hamilton" is being developed,
American musical theater is in amorphous
and almost morbid circumstances
uncertainty about what can happen.
There are many attempts
to find a sound new for musicals.
You can't too flat out seriously
It's gloomy.
You definitely can't do that too cheerful and old-fashioned
because people will snore.
You can't ghost with a mask
singing at the top of their lungs.
There are many things you can't do anymore
but it's not a clear idea of what you can do
In 2008, when "In the Heights " appearing on Broadway,
many other shows from time
tend to be jukebox music.
I mean musical it will take
catalog songs that are by pop or band artists
then create original dramatic narratives
around the song catalog that.
I'm thinking of "Jersey Boys" who are celebrating the music
from Frankie Valli and Four Seasons.
"Mamma Mia" which is celebrated Abba music.
Broadway starts to rely on in music jukebox
because they are certain.
When on Broadway
can't to take artistic risks
that might have happened in the past, in the heyday of
work by people like Michael Bennett,
I think jukebox music gives a safe alternative
for the Broadway community.
Sure people will come to this musical
because they already know the music
becomes available buy immediately.
Then you will only wrap a story around music
This is where
Lin-Manuel Miranda is developing "Hamilton",
where there is no consensus
about what music can now
but there are many consensus about what they cannot do.
definitely an understanding The new voice,
new characters that haven't been seen on stage
are treated seriously need to be part of the story.
As the show developed
industry insiders rumors began to circulate
about exciting new music
based on the life of from Alexander Hamilton,
and in May 2009 the community got their first gaze.
Lin-Manuel entered
a night "Poetry, " Music and Words Delivered "
in the White House
and done some material
from "Hamilton Mixtape"
in front of the President and First Lady.
This is a concept album about someone's life
I think of creating hip-hop,
Minister of Finance Alexander Hamilton
How are bastards, orphans, prostitutes
And a Scotsman, fell
In the middle of from a forgotten place
In the Caribbean with bad providence,
In destitution, grow to be a hero
And a scholar?
Ten dollars father's founder
Without father
Get much further by working harder
By being much smarter By becoming a self-starter
At the age of fourteen, they place it
Responsible from the trading charter...
Initial reaction
For ideas it's skeptical.
I mean, hip-hop musicals about the founding father,
and all played by black and Hispanic people
there are no white people,
a little weird.
But there is a workshop,
very personal for friends - friend Lin,
event supporters
I happened to have some spies there
I heard people right- really impressed
They think the songs are really great
He was created this interesting character
at the founding father.
Doesn't feel flour or history.
It feels contemporary. It feels vital.
It has an extraordinary skit and energy.
That's when I started hearing,
"You must take care of your eyes on this event."
Lin-Manuel Miranda was known at the theater at that time,
but not to... the world in general.
That might be Obamas & apos; support from "Hamilton"
which made it a phenomenon that's today
But it actually stands out from the White House event
that the "Hamilton Mixtape",
as the name suggests, all about hip-hop
When Lin-Manuel stands knocking
in front of the President,
Obviously for the observer that he is planning
to try and succeed where others have failed,
and made hip-hop a blow on Broadway
Alright, beat it.
He vomited a few words
I started saying it some freestyle
That you never heard it Constitution
POTUS, I am freestyling, You know this
Obamacare, okay I look up now
There is no previous hope You enforced that system
Federalist Papers </ p >
Hamilton wrote another 51 and bigger
And Sunny and Bo, the dog
It's salty salty, geez...
We're telling a story
music on stage so it's musical.
That's the only definition musical theater music:
tells a story on stage through music
Everything else is up to You have to write rules.
For me, what's nice is if it's the initial inspiration
Hamilton is an extraordinary hip-hop character,
You can't tell the story in other genres of music.
Porque usas más palabras
He uses more words than other founders.
He leaves more writing than other founders.
If you do opera, it will be a long day
You need to be hip-hip because you have more words per size
than other music genres. </ p >
It also has the energy of making something out of nothing,
writing well about your situation
that you surpass them.
Already a lot of historical effort
to try to incorporate hip-hop
into musical theater especially.
I'm thinking in the 1990s
"Bring & apos; da Noise, Bring & apos; da Funk & apos;
George C. Wolfe directed show
that starred in Savion Glover.
It's a mix of taps and funk and hip-hop.
That's quite successful on time
But I think in general, hip-hop as a form
that pursues a kind of authenticity
that is strongly related to road credibility,
it very rooted in the blues
where you live your life that you sing on your song
or that you rap about your song </ p >
There are ways in which that rubs against
types expressive inauthenticity
musical theater.
There have been attempts
in hip-hop blending and theater,
is it Mos Def in "Topdog / Underdog".
Puff Daddy has an important role in "Raisins in the Sun".
Even like Tupac games.
Then come "Hamilton"
and that is something where like overnight success
or something like this great and successful talent
comes from paved road by others.
To take some from the dominant theme
in hip-hop mythology, must be done with underdogs
increase to cultural mainstream -
to take some of these themes and apply them
to retell history
I think it's very strong as a gesture.
And of course all beef and fight
that Alexander Hamilton faced
during the course from his long career
run parallel for beef and hip-hop fights
which are part of the nature of the form itself.
The success of hip-hop entering "Hamilton" is the fact that
in one minute part of the song in hip-hop
you will have 4 to 10 times more words
than you want in traditional songs
So he has the ability to 4 to 10 times more information
at each time of the show.
This is part of why the show is so amazing
You were given a ton of information
always and never give up.
As soon as I decide Hamilton an extraordinary hip-hop figure,
and this is all from my first read this book,
I go, "So what does sound like?"
That's how you build a score.
So he won't be... He will be like my hero.
He will be a 6 syllable rhyme on the line if he needs to.
He will be the son of Rakim, Eminem's son,
- the son of Big Pun,
who has one of my favorites hip-hop lyrics of all time...
Dead in the middle from Little Italy
Little did we know that we stuck two middlemen
Who didn't do diddly...
Lyricists that make you play them back instantly
because you can't believe it
how many poems have occurred on a line
That's what I love and that I keep going back,
and Big Pun are great for me.
So it takes a year to write "My Shot"
because "My Shot" /> mostly Hamilton sounds
and I want it the line & apos; Big Pun-ish & apos; that
where every syllable is filled,
makes at least 4 syllables rhymes every time So that's it...
A diamonds are rough...
Which are Big Pun's lyrics.
Shiny coal Tryi & apos; to reach my goal
The power of speaking me: impeccable
Just nineteen but my mind is older
Which is the lyrics of Mobb Deep.
Traveling City This New York is getting cooler, I'm shoulder
E & apos; ry load, very detrimental
I have learned to manage
I don't have a weapon to screw up I walk in this street starving
The plan is to fan this triggers a fire
But damn it, it's getting dark / p>
So let me decipher the name...
Once the end of the line
agrees with the beginning of the next line.
So they have to follow each other,
like strung up as the best thick rope.
So what happens? people else sounds like?
So I read about George Washington
and I was reading he ran away from New York
and this is moral authority.
He is the only veteran we have.
So this is very strict,
it is regimented as military thinking . His...
Can I be real for a second? Only in milliseconds?
Lower my guard and tell people...
None syncopation in it at all
This can-do-it-can...
He's a military. He likes military poetry. </ p >
Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson missed most of the war,
But he wrote our founding documents
He write Declaration of Independence.
But he just got cold in France
So I threw it as jazz which led to hip-hop.
So I listened a lot Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.
I listened a lot from Gil Scott Heron.
I listened to jazz < br>> that if you hit below it
it's going to be hip-hop, but it's jazz
That's cool.
From the current, to the beat,
like them dropping to the beat.
So much so that the soundtrack for "Hamilton" maps.
People will say,
"I'm going to" Hamilton ". Are you going to the show?" </ P>
"No, but I'm listening to the soundtrack
Especially when you think about that
who can't get a ticket to the show
Instead they have this soundtrack that they can go to </ p >
and testify for talent at the audio level.
Lin-Manuel finally sent
a copy of "The Hamilton Mixtape" to Oskar Eustis,
Artistic Director of New York Public Theater.
Originally founded by left-wing producers
and director Joe Papp,
for years The Public has built a reputation
for the original, challenging and radical theater.
When Oskar Eustis hears Lin Manuel's recording,
he immediately offers
to develop the show at The Public,
and Hamilton had his first home.
Public Theater was established
by Joe Papp in the 1950s <
and he believes it's Shakespeare and theater
shouldn't just be for rich people
They should be available to poor people
and working class Americans.
That's why he called the cinema
Teater Umum karena untuk 'Publik'.
Some musicals that The Public has produced
have represented a real change point
in the development of musical theater,
starts with one of the earliest,
"Hair", in 1968
which starts in the city center Off-Broadway
then moved to Broadway.
"Chorus Path" is the most famous
and has helped them produce non-musical dramas that serious
for decades since.
And recently a show like "Fun Home"
and "Hamilton" too < br /> has been produced there
Lin sent the tape to Oskar.
I'm sure Oskar likes some songs.
But Oskar doesn't see the script is not yet
He doesn't know the show it will look like
But he likes what he hears
and more importantly He likes Lin-Manuel Miranda. </ P>
He believes that Lin-Manuel Miranda
is an original artist that will create something
that he wants to be part of from.
That's basically the work Artistic Director.
That's Joe Papp doing brilliantly
and that's what Oskar did.
They support people
who goes to make a show
that one day will be discussed. </ p >
As far as performances are needed to build from a core audience
for a larger audience,
This is useful for marking a show That way and people know,
"Oh, that seems like that Things I will enjoy."
What happens even though you open in the Public Theater.
You already have this buzz build about the show
You have critics in. They raved about it.
You only have 250 seats to sell the night
Every VIP in this country, trust me,
is trying to get to the event
which has just been released buzz further.
So you have this phenomenon created in this tiny theater
it will be to explode finally
The only way you can do explode is to go to Broadway
and explode there
Hamilton opens on The Public
pada bulan Februari 2015 untuk mendapat pujian besar.
Criticism is raving about Lin-Manuel Miranda's vision
and chairs in small, intimate auditorium
soon to be the most searchable ticket in town
A publicist in New York begged me to see it.
He said, "That's very good.
" It's like hip-hop and American history. "
I'm like," Oh, man.
"Like Broadway hip-hop." No thanks.
Finally, a little humor This person, I said,
"I want a ticket tomorrow."
I just got knocked out!
That was the last thing I expect. </ P>
The review for "Hamilton" no longer exists. </ P>
That is one of the best reviews shows I can imagine
It's been a while
in my life in American theater
where there are already shows It's not just shows,
But they are cultural movements in a certain direction
I think "Hamilton" is one of them
extraordinary moments teasing in American theater
the place received critical response
and that too... commercial success
Starting with an opening song
that summarizes his childhood,
"Hamilton" traces the story Life Alexander Hamilton,
from being raised as an orphan in the Caribbean
until his death in 1804
in the hands of arch rivals Aaron Burr
During his two actions,
the touch of the game about Hamilton's personal life,
professional achievements, political ideas
and its relationship with others famous historical figures,
with many criticisms commenting on adult
and nuanced portrayals of from American founders .
Examination
from Hamilton's life is displayed concentrate
on immigrants and outsider status.
He will never be able to be elected president
because he was not born in America. </ P>
He is from the West Indies. </ P>
And he's an outsider who can make it
because he is creating the formation
that he will go to make it enter </ p >
He created himself
and country at the same time.
Often when we are presented with the founders,
it's good in a very religious way
where they kind of from the pantheon of saints,
or just the opposite.
You tear down this one. That one is for slaves
This one is problematic for this reason or that reason.
I think "Hamilton" is presented
this character in three terms dimension
and in recognizable contemporary terms
That's why I think a lot young people like it.
This reminds us that this country hardly come together.
There are thirteen independent colonies
who have different economies different worldviews
and that male from the colony
who came to place this country together
represents that view
it's often in conflict with each other.
There is no guarantee that they will succeed
in creating United States.
But "Hamilton" shows in the end
they rise above the difficult disagreement,
hate each other, to create a country.
Among history the person who appeared in Hamilton
is George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison,
King George III and Marquis de Lafayette. </ p >
This is the least known Aaron Burr, however,
who took the stage
as former Vice President of from the United States
and key characters in the "Hamilton" narrative.
I think the core of the dramatic of "Hamilton" is
Hamilton's relationship for Aaron Burr
Previously a controversial relationship.
He came to Aaron Burr at first to mentor
They have a lifelong relationship </ p >
and then Aaron Burr finally killed him
I think that's the point of the whole show
I think it's all about Masa little Aaron Burr.
He lost his mother very early.
I think it made Aaron Burr be a proud person,
a man who is not safe, and someone who is looking for
his parents figure his whole life
and did not find him.
He too not as happily married
like Alexander Hamilton.
Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton met
while they were both aides to George Washington
Both men in the early 20s.
Politically they have the same view.
Both are federalists.
But anyway, they don't do it like each other personally.
In some ways they are too similar
Burr is even more arrogant < br /> from Hamilton
and somehow they just don't get along.
Bitterness between Aaron Burr
and Alexander Hamilton < br /> back to 1791
when Hamilton's father-in-law, Philip Schuyler,
released in the Senate by Aaron Burr
So he didn't care for Aaron Burr for a long time.
Then in 1800, when there was a an election university tie,
Hamilton worked Behind the scenes to see that
tie between Burr and Jefferson is broken
with Jefferson being President
Even though he's not Jefferson's stomach,
he likes him more than Burr.
He really calls him dangerous people
who is government control
don't entrusted.
Burr and Hamilton got engaged In, I would argue,
the late 18th century version of hip-hop
is being write essays.
That's the duel of their words.
It's been going on for a long time.
That is a weapon today.
They understand that. They use pseudonyms.
They don't use it their real names
They have another newspaper < br /> on their side
That is a war of words, a play on words.
Bad blood between pairs
finally reached the conclusions are deadly </ p >
in the summer of 1804
when Burr challenged Hamilton for the duel
The Lin-Manuel match peaked in a dramatic re-performance
gun at dawn on the west bank
from the Hudson river in New Jersey,
where Alexander Hamilton shot fatally, aged 47 years. </ P>
The duel between Burr and Hamilton
is the peak of from correspondence
where it will not reverse. </ P>
Burr wants a confession or denial
that he said a disgraceful thing about him.
Hamilton refused to admit anything
unless he is more specific.
It's a dead end
to where it's become a battle of pride
When he says, "I challenge you to duel,"
Hamilton agrees.
Hamilton could have ended it by just saying,
"If I have said anything to offend you,
"It's not intentional." It will work.
Hamilton does have it a hatred of dueling.
He suggested < br /> it's really uncivilized,
he's against it, but his pride is on the line.
Hamilton wrote a long list of the pros and cons
Then he continues.
I think he knows he will die
I don't think Burr gave it as much as Hamilton thought .
I also think that Hamilton wants to miss the shot
No burrs.
The tradition at that time was when you fired your first shot, </ p >
if your message is, "I don't mean to fire you,"
You shoot directly into the ground.
Hamilton, according to all , may have been accidentally fired
He shot into the air
and it entered a tree behind Burr.
He turned and shot Hamilton. </ P>
This is also possible
he didn't try to hit Hamilton
Maybe he intend to miss
But the gun at that time
often goes away from their target
As good as their deadly meeting </ p >
on the edge of Hudson,
the drama illustrates the refusal of Burr to help Hamilton
in his preparation from the Federalist Papers,
and introduces audiences to some central ideas
in Hamilton political philosophy.
Federalist papers are a series of essays
that Alexander Hamilton and James Madison wrote together
to persuade Americans to ratify the constitution,
to understand the constitution,
to understand why is needed to be a separation of powers ,
why is the republic the only way
a country can survive it won't be a monarchy,
why do we need a representative house
popularly chosen, But why do we also need a senator,
who wants at least at that time,
is not popularly chosen,
why do we need to have limited executive,
why do we need to have a treasury,
why should we have a bill of final rights.
If you really think about it that era and consider that
some of the biggest thoughts of our time
happen to live and in the same room
to make these things happen is an interesting story
and Hamilton himself are visionaries
whose ideas from
industrial culture and changing a country becoming a superpower
is a winning vision.
Itu membuatnya semua lebih menarik
and that's the format that allows us
to see other people around it
and how this might be.
Themes this is further illustrated in the show
with Hamilton's relationship
with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison,
played by Daveed Diggs and Okieriete Onaodowan,
who set the competition the vision that the trio has
for the future of the United States.
Hamilton Relations to Jefferson and Madison
is one of contemporaries.
It all started as a federalist,
believe in a central government
but deviate in terms of how strong
that the central government should
If there is personal hostility,
it's based in their political ideology.
Where they drift apart the most
At Hamilton's insistence at the national bank
and tie ourselves for the benefit of big money,
where Madison and Jefferson sincerely believe
that we should an agrarian society
and not bound to European banks
Madison and Jefferson both believe
needed thousand years
to complete this country East to west.
I think Hamilton understands somehow somehow
will happen much faster than this
and that country needs to make preparations
to grow, to increase trade,
to increase competition with other countries
and for agreements with other countries.
Finally, musical exploration
Life personal Hamilton,
his marriage to a rich person Elizabeth Schuyler in 1780,
his extra-marital affairs with Maria Reynolds
and tragic death his oldest son Phillip,
who was seriously injured in a duel,
in a grim forecast destiny
that later happened to Alexander
This is Elizabeth Schuyler, However, who took the stage
in Hamilton's narration
and he was introduced at the beginning of the show
cheerfully, celebration number "The Schuyler Sisters".
- Work work! - Angelica!
- Work work! - Eliza!
- And Peggy! - Work work!
- Sister Schuyler! - Angelica!
- Peggy! - Eliza!
Work!
Daddy says come home with the sun set
Daddy doesn't need to know
Father said don't go to downtown
Like I said, you are free to go
But - look around, look around
Revolution is happening in New York
- New York - Angelica
He is really handsome, A great writer, good speaker </ p >
and very charming, apparently
who met at the woman she finally married, Eliza,
the right woman he explained
about a year, one and a half years before.
She's this amazing woman
who can't love him again.
I think it's very appropriate
that music starts with him and ends with him.
In the description of "warts and all"
The life of Alexander Hamilton,
the game presents a three-dimensional display
of the founders,
who aren't afraid to show them
as a disabled person.
Hamilton biographer Ron Chernow describes it
as & apos; history for adults & apos;.
We think of it our founding father
like these numbers on Mount Rushmore. </ p >
They are made of granite.
Lin makes them flesh and blood. He makes them human.
You see a fight, quarrel.
You see dirty politics compromises that they have to make.
You see ambitions burning,
hatred between Burrs and Hamilton. </ p >
You look jealous of that
Burr has for Hamilton's success,
Hamilton beat him at every turn.
I think approaching history on the one hand
it doesn't deify the founding father
makes the character all the more interesting
Historians don't always do that. </ P>
They tend to do mythology Thomas Jefferson
and suggest, for example, it's never in its character
to have children with a slave
If you see evidence,
it is very supportive otherwise.
That is the problem is that's actually
Make the characters real.
I think those are things we identified
When you deify someone, they become interesting
as a statue of that we stand up to them
as opposed to deficiencies that really make someone become human.
I think that what connects people,
humanity
I think people see themselves
and how flawed these people are
and that gives them hope because of the beautiful thing
these people can still be achieved
even with their shortcomings.
This is a show about a politician
It's also about policy.
There is an extraordinary amount of material
about banking policy,
about dealing with with the French Revolution,
about slaves who have.
This is unique in musical theater, as far as I know, </ p >
with one exception,
in dealing with policy questions
it animates politicians we pay attention to
But in taking it like that an approach to the subject,
"Hamilton" inevitably opened a debate
about historical accuracy,
with some noted critics which shows side-steps
some of the more uncomfortable time questions,
specifically, attitude
from the main protagonist towards slavery
One of the interesting things about "Hamilton"
is the conversation about American history
is provoked
There are feelings where people argue.
That is Hamilton as against slavery
as described by the drama.
The Schuyler family that he is married,
they are slave holders
What is Hamilton's attitude? about immigrants, for example?
People have fought over it. </ P>
All of these questions have come
Most of the criticism from the game
has become a kind of debate
Is this an accurate description? Is that a fair description?
What is the cut angle?
You could say that of whatever
is based on on a historical event,
which should be a balanced approach.
I don't think it's balanced so much as saying...
This is a story that has two sides to the same coin
In the example , the contradiction
being a man made yourself coming from zero,
but his vision for the greatness of America
Being in an elitist decision. </ P>
I think they go hand in hand, and not to check one
is to leave something
which I think is an integral for the character
and the story.
Even so, what's accurate
Hamilton's most obvious break
with historical accuracy
is made up multi ethnic players.
With almost all parts played by color actors,
Hamilton presented it a bold statement about diversity
and its nature from contemporary America.
I think the statement is:
"This is our history too. We are here." You know? </ P>
And we can play this role
and we can make it our story. </ P>
That's how it turned out this convention
of what America is
Some of my favorite images
are stung to my brain like
when you see, to bring it to music,
Frank Ocean, the singer.
He wears an American flag as a bandana
or OutKast and they will have a flag behind them
This is extraordinarily strong.
You took it in the foundation from this country
with the actual idea from what the country is
Now people see that,
and this is the trace it will happen
permanent notes for many young people.
When do you watch on stage
after one minute It makes no difference.
This is the person who is James Madison
This is what is Thomas Jefferson
You don't think: why is Thomas Jefferson black?
Amazing theater like that.
Broadway for a long time
called Jalan Putih Besar.
Then it became a kind of disparaging comments
because of the show by big and white
and audience certainly white.
But when I was young /> more interested in Broadway
Since the success of "Rent",
They are not all white children.
And they bring new sounds and new music
to the form of musical theater </ p >
which I think is good and healthy in the long run.
I think "Hamilton" is a show that says
doesn't matter what color you are
or your background or your ethnicity.
Musical theater is an artform
that you can develop, that you should be interested in.
There are so many exceptions In the theater
where color people are generally only able
to tell certain stories
and say certain things on Broadway.
Their involvement in Broadway is very limited </ p >
and is very limited.
Saying not just any story but a founding story
of the narrative of American life
has some kind of meta relevance.
This is the comment itself on its role
from people who are colored in this country.
I have received e-mail from film executives
who said, "You really have made me think about casting again
" this project or project because I saw what...
"... very talented, various faces
" Can do it for an audience. "
Very beautiful. That's an amazing thing. </ P>
This is a wonderful feeling to have such an impact. </ P>
If something is good That success resonates.
That's part of it from the joy people feel.
Who is this amazing player
Why not? Have we seen them before?
Oh, because there's nothing to see them enter
And Hamilton proved to be the perfect platform
for a new generation of actors to show their talent.
A number of prominent performances got drama cast
a total of seven Tony nominations,
with Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom Jnr, Philippa Soo,
Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Groff, Christopher Jackson
and Renée Elise Goldsberry all are recognized for their work.
I think Lin -Manuel Miranda good
in his role as Hamilton. </ P>
In a certain sense, he tells his own story. </ P>
I feel like he is very much identified
with characters he created
and Daveed Diggs who played Lafayette and Jefferson.
Just moved between the two roles
is very fun
and interesting and interesting to watch.
Getting the role of where I get
for take these things I learned
from just trying to take a walk like my dad walking around
has been so big I don't know
And Thomas Jefferson!
It's impossible it must be real,
that I have to read the lines written for Thomas Jefferson,
Be like, "Yeah, that's my father."
Except maybe it's too real
But, this is very good. This is very fun.
One of the big things about this process
is how much of ourselves we were asked to bring it there
and how it made sense That keeps making it to do that.
I think the actual star from the show
in terms of acting is Leslie Odom Jnr.
Lin is of course a talented man. He created the show.
But he's the weakest player of all of them
because he's not class actor
And Leslie Odom < br /> very charismatic
and very interesting like Aaron Burr.
And always better to play villains
This is just juicier section.
And Leslie plays it with ferocity and intensity
It's quite thrilling when you see it
Especially at The Public Theater He is at this level
and Lin still wobbling around here
trying to find the character.
Listen, he's also writing and fixing the show </ p >
so he has some disturbances there.
But Leslie for me is the real star of the show.
This show has some kind of...
... help me find some directions,
find some more goals.
This is what I always feel I really supposed to do it
but I've been waiting for for Lin to write it down.
For me it's a combination
their quality is extraordinary it's amazing
they can find so many people
who can perform Hard work is so brilliant.
And now with the second cast and with the cast tour
it's not like they experienced having trouble finding these people
They're waiting for something to come
with which they can show who they are.
That is for me.
Yes I love Renée Elise Goldsberry
or Daveed Diggs.
Every day maybe different people
what does depend on what I listen to
But all of that together who did it for me
But like with every musical theater work,
The star of the show is the music itself.
Even though it's billed As a hip-hop musical,
score plays moves beyond rap
to take in series from other styles,
from the 1960s beat music for traditional performance songs.
In its release in September 2015,
original cast recordings proved a big hit,
reached as high as numbers 3 on the Billboard chart
and won a Grammy Award for the Best Musical Album.
One the beautiful thing about Lin-Manuel Miranda
is that he really reflects the way we listen to music now.
We listen to every kind of music
so every type of music is useful
when you're writing musical theater now
and nothing a style of music
< this season alone.
There's country music, hip-hop, classic
It's all there It's all relevant and everything important.
The most important thing as a player you can do
really has confidence
to find out what it is your voice is doing right
How do we know that this plan will work?
We have spies inside Right
Hercules Mulligan!
A spy tailor & apos; to the British government!
I took their size, information
Then I smuggled it </ p >
For my brother revolutionary agreement
& m; m runni & apos; with Sons of Liberty
And I love him! Look, this what happened
When did you fight the bastard
We're in bullshit now, someone has to shovel it!
Hercules Mulligan, < br /> I don't need to be introduced
When you drop me I come back again!
I think the music "Hamilton" is very interesting
because that's right clearly rooted in hip-hop
and some prominent ones numbers displayed
are rap numbers,
There are many other types of music displayed .
There is English pop music from the 60s
There is R & apos; n & apos; B. </ P>
There is Andrew Lloyd Webber The style of music in it. </ P>
So it's very diverse,
far more than I thought it has been given credit for.
... looking at you
Whoa...
History has eyes to you
I think the introductory number "Alexander Hamilton"
Probably the most striking number displayed
because it introduces you for larger themes,
main characters
And Lin-Manuel has this
where is the opening number for the show,
like in "In the Heights", The first show in 2008,
They provided narrative encouragement </ p >
for the whole show,
they introduced all themes, but they did it
with these amazing words.
I remember seeing it on Broadway
and thinking, "Wow!"
Soaking stands at the end of from the opening number
is that galvanizing and strong.
We fought with him
I? I died for him
Me? I trusted him
Me? I love him
And me?
stupid bastard who shot him
There are a million things I haven't done it
But just wait!
- Alexander Hamilton!
His description King George III in the drama
is just funny
because it works on so many levels.
The music is very Beatlesque
which is a kind of thing
in English and American things too.
This is kind of on boomer culture
and this young rebel culture
There is a very passive aggressive quality
for Jonathan Groff in original production
in his appearance as King George III.
He dressed up like Elton John!
More traditional beautiful musical theater number,
very melodic.
Lin has a melodic talent
that I didn't appreciate the first time around.
It's very important. You can't have a musical theater song
without a melody line .
Sometimes hip-hop and rap -
melody lines not so strong
So if you have that score
only one hip-hop rap Some by one
I don't think that will happen as successful as that.
He found a way to vary it.
I think songs like "The Room Where It Happens" are very strong.
These are... songs that are slowly rising
ambition and jealousy
from Aaron Burr said, "Why am I being left out?
" Why am I not the person? made a decision?
"Why me not there?
"Currently large items will drop? "
So this is very good character number
because it really shows you
why does Aaron Burr come hate Alexander Hamilton
because Hamilton knocked him
And he had to go back indoors
and the only way was to kill Alexander Hamilton!
One very interesting song is "My Shot"
where you really feel that energy
from Alexander Hamilton to make it. </ P>
And that like an American theme
I didn't throw my shot
p>
Hey yo, like my country
young, fighting and hungry
And I'm not throwing it away my shot </ p >
I didn't throw my shot
Hey yo, like my country
young, fighting and being hungry
And not throwing away my shot
don't go to release my shot
Here it is We will do it.
In that sense...
... that level of confidence
is something that really came through
in the game and the link of this revolutionary musical
for very traditional themes in American history
So even so it violates certain prints,
it follows other people.
In carrying "Hamilton" to live on stage,
Lin Manuel-Miranda turned to his company friends
and often collaborators, Thomas Hook. </ P>
Kail first met Miranda while both of them were students
at Wesleyan in the late 90s.
He co-founded the hip-hop troupe the Supreme Love Freestyle
and instrumental in development </ p >
from "In The Heights", what he directed
When Lin-Manuel had it original idea for "Hamilton"
Fast hook entered to ship as event director.
Lin wrote the first song in 2009 and June 2016.
So, it's seven years your life you spend
try to take this little seed and grow it,
not just a tree but forest
That's really my job, to try and create an environment
where the author can feel fostered and supported
Then I tried adding other seeds around it
and find someone else
to make me better and to try to realize the show.
The direction never blocks
Lin scores and Lin scripts.
He is not the director who put it His thumbprint covers everything.
He understands that the power of the show
is in music, the lyrics, and story.
The direction is very skilled.
You don't go From the show think,
"Wow, who is the director? How great is the production! "</ P>
You go From the show,
" Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius! "</ P>
And Tom understands that.
His job is to serve the Lin show.
The reality is everyone on stage
and stage in this company
is working on the absolute peak of their game
and I think it's baseline of everything
is trust and faith.
So that's why saying "no" not too difficult
says "maybe" not too difficult
and says "yes" no too difficult
The reality is sometimes The best answer you can give
is "continue".
It's very rare that I will do anything
it will prevent anyone from...
... take the idea and develop it fully.
My job is to create the room where everyone knows
what they are asking to do, what stories do we tell
and how we want to tell them. So the reality is,
Lin and I arrived somewhere, and Alex and Andy shared this,
the place is almost subliminal.
Sometimes he will chicken his head ,
"I know, let me go through things.
But the reality is that it is safe space for all of us
This actor also knows they are allowed
to stay somewhere where they can roam. </ P>
We try to make it's one another
He is not excessive.
He did not say, "Okay, this is my shot,"
and then surpassed that. </ p >
The performance really step back
if necessary,
more understanding
that's verbal information it's complicated
and needs to be foremost most of the time.
So he gives space to the verbal component
which is a joy for the theater audience
who remembers when playing Still about words.
Both the hook and Miranda sank
in history musical theater,
and even though "Hamilton" has been repeated praised
for its authenticity,
the creator and director has acknowledged
that a number of other programs have important influences
on their own production.
The expertise of Lin-Manuel in this genre is only genius.
I will suggest he can be very good </ p >
future American musical theater
At the same time, throughout his work,
even though it was so involved in hip-hop ,
You see a Sondheim nod
in the density of the lyrics, you see Hart and Hammerstein
and great composers that they are influenced by.
There are several influences on "Hamilton" -
Stephen Sondheim, like Lin admitted,
because Steve of course wrote, music and lyrics,
but he also does adult shows.
He doesn't do musical fables,
he doesn't do shows for weary entrepreneurs
He does it with Hal Prince, challenging event -
"Company" which is about marriage disputes,
"Follies" which are about aging,
and "Sweeney Todd" which about murder and cannibalism!
Of course "Sweeney Todd"
in hugeness from the central character,
and job ambitions.
Kander and Ebb's work - "Chicago", "cabaret"
of course proven as inspiration
for the emphasis on thematic development.
"1776" is a very important show It should not be ignored.
The show was written by Peter Stone is a show that says it
the founding father is not in the textbook,
They are not on Mount Rushmore.
They flesh and blood vital human
I think without "1776",
I don't think Lin can do it take off "Hamilton".
I will also say, aside from that the usual name you hear -
Rogers and Hammerstein of course there is. </ P>
He quotes them subtly < br /> and joked a lot -
"Superstar of Jesus Christ",
but I think you can't forget Gilbert and Sullivan -
the last real example from that level
verbal intelligence in musical theater.
I think Lin will say it
that the deepest influence on him is "Rent".
You don't have music that speaks to young people
through their struggles in the 90s
and that's called "Rent "-
artists fought badly lived in New York City
when many of them were killed by AIDS,
and indeed so rock and roll scores
So suddenly feel...
... contemporary, and it brings young people to the cinema </ p >
This brings generation
that will be Lin-Manuel Mirandas
because of "Rent".
Among what he calls
& apos; grandparents & apos; from "Hamilton",
Thomas Kail is registered both "Sweeney Todd" and "Evita"
as two productions which have a clear impact
on show performances. </ P>
I think Hal Prince staging of "Sweeney Todd"
is very important for "Hamilton"
because it's on a large scale </ p >
with many people who are moving.
You can see in Tom's performance from "Hamilton"
original staging echo Hal from "Sweeney Todd".
"Sweeney Todd" really evoked 18th century London,
got to the fog coming from the River Thames,
is the same as the performance and set the design "Hamilton"
raises the tavern candlelight
where the founding father left this country
The performance is very simple but it's animated.
The extraordinary thing is the choreography.
Humans, it's alive. Everyone moves.
The design suggests a ship
with wooden boards and rope and things like that,
maybe a country ship.
But besides that, it's interesting himself
for the lead in the show.
When "Hamilton" hit Broadway
in the summer of 2015 it exploded,
not short a phenomenon
all of America
The show was bombarded with awards,
collected Grammy and Pulitzer prizes.
next to Avalanche Tonys.
In July 2016, Lin-Manuel gave the last farewell show
like Alexander Hamilton,
before substitute Javier Muñoz
steps into the role.
That fall, "Hamilton" started his journey
towards being a global sensation.
The game starts a place to live in Chicago,
a tour cast assembled to travel to America in 2017
and announced producer "Les Miserables"
Cameron Mackintosh will watch
an opening in West London End. </ P>
I started writing this in 2008. So this is the highlight of...
This is a celebration of many people
puts a lot of hard work,
especially Tommie Kail who got all the artforms
and made them one cohesive thing
called "Hamilton".
The fact that we have so many nominations is a celebration
of how many artforms are needed to make music,
and that makes me very happy.
"Hamilton" success as musical
lies in the fact that of course this is a great story.
This is aspirational, it's an American
through diversity from cast
But I think True genius lies
in the genius of playwright himself,
in terms of Lin-Manuel mastery of language
and his brilliance with which he is able
to place contemporary musicals together interesting.
He can't write anything and it will be brilliant.
Take something from the substance,
it can't but an extraordinary success,
of course.
The intervention is
to really include color people
< on the American stage in a way it's transformative
and it's ongoing
and that changes its meaning from the Big White Road
as exclusive space
becomes something that's a lot of inclusion.
I think you should go back for hip-hop use,
which, for the first time, in musical theater
because maybe the 50s
is a life form in popular music
For 40, The last 50 years, the way people sing in musicals,
pretty like that, not the same
like what people listen to on the radio or on their iPod.
What often disappears is the quality.
That's very good. That's one reason.
This is very good.
Socio-political aspects From that, casting it. </ P>
All of that
Connection for bigger social problems now
that's very much in the air about immigration and race.
That is obviously important.
But if the game is not good,
none of these items will be important
I spent seven years writing this
So I want to hammer that's a lot house
Kicking a knock from the cell triggering writing me
But to be honest, takes a long time
to get into a form like this.
And that's a very big act of faith, right?
After stepping off the stage " Hamilton "
Lin-Manuel Miranda quickly became
an artist who was highly sought by and personality. </ P>
He was invited to donate music
for "Star Wars: Awakening Force",
asked to write songs
for animation Disney films "Moana",
and submit the main role in the Mary Poppins sequel
"Mary Poppins Returns". </ P>
During the course from two short years,
Lin-Manuel has become
one of the most famous names in America,
celebrated by a legion of fans,
everyone is waiting, with a breath of feed,
to see what will happen next
from people who re-awake Broadway
Broadway is not unusual
has rockstar
I am sure everyone is like, "What will you do next?
" The world is your oyster. "
He has all the ropes on world
to do anything he wants
It's fun. He was brought this listener was with him.
He has all these new fans and all these hopes. </ P>
I want to see if he can now
with the platform he has built for himself,
and the skills he honed if now he can use his abilities
to tell a musical story without hip-hop
I enjoy hip-hop on this event
and I feel like that needed for this event
to convey so much material that it can be remembered.
But I wonder what can he do without it
You can say it it's the language
he developed it for himself.
Why ask him? < do something else?
And I agree with that too.
But if he is writing a show for me now,
I want to see it where he really encourages
his melodic abilities going forward,
not just his lyrical abilities. </ P >
I think with theater people
and artists like Lin-Manuel Miranda,
You should expect to be unexpected.
His mind works that ordinary people don't do it.
He sees things we don't want. He reads 900-page biographies
about Alexander Hamilton and seeing musicals.
He's like Andrew Lloyd Webber in that sense.
Andrew read some bullshit poetry for children
about cats and seeing musicals.
He is like Cameron Mackintosh
who raised a 1,000-thick novel in French
about a man who stole bread and saw "Les Miserables".
He was like Michael Bennett who thought,
"Anonymous story it's people dancing choir
"Can appear alone."
I think theater people like that
will come crossing something
that captures their imagination
only that they can see revealed on their head as a show
and finally they will create it on stage
for all of us to see and enjoy.
So from Lin-Manuel Miranda
Aku mengharapkan sesuatu Aku belum pernah melihat sebelumnya.
