1
00:00:20,654 --> 00:00:23,724
It's a musical
that brings the world with a storm
2
00:00:23,757 --> 00:00:26,260
The story of Alexander Hamilton,
3
00:00:26,294 --> 00:00:28,696
one of the more obscure
founders,
4
00:00:28,729 --> 00:00:30,831
told through the media
hip-hop,
5
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:32,533
Enchanted Americans
6
00:00:32,566 --> 00:00:34,802
and be
an overnight sensation
7
00:00:34,835 --> 00:00:37,805
This drama is exciting to see .
8
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:41,809
Production itself
just so alive
9
00:00:41,842 --> 00:00:45,379
You go there and walk out
and you fly
10
00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:49,683
I become part of the choir
people say to people,
11
00:00:49,717 --> 00:00:52,153
"This is really something."
12
00:00:52,186 --> 00:00:53,787
The show makes an instant star
13
00:00:53,821 --> 00:00:55,423
from the young creator,
14
00:00:55,456 --> 00:00:57,425
Lin-Manuel Miranda,
15
00:00:57,458 --> 00:01:00,294
who has a single vision
changed Broadway,
16
00:01:00,328 --> 00:01:04,098
brought voices and faces
from 21st Century America
17
00:01:04,132 --> 00:01:06,467
to retell
from the history of his people.
18
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,336
This is extraordinary
he took
19
00:01:08,369 --> 00:01:09,803
a traditional American message
20
00:01:09,837 --> 00:01:12,206
and turn it into
a contemporary hip-hop word
21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,874
a great story
22
00:01:13,907 --> 00:01:16,544
It really marks the watershed
When on Broadway,
23
00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:18,312
not only because
the inclusion of hip-hop,
24
00:01:18,346 --> 00:01:20,548
but for the way
it has changed
25
00:01:20,581 --> 00:01:22,250
and opened space
26
00:01:22,283 --> 00:01:26,154
for people with colors on the road
it's amazing to see
27
00:01:28,489 --> 00:01:30,224
He's a genius.
28
00:01:30,258 --> 00:01:33,127
He represents something
that we haven't seen
29
00:01:33,161 --> 00:01:35,663
on Broadway
in a very long time -
30
00:01:35,696 --> 00:01:37,831
independent auteur.
31
00:01:37,865 --> 00:01:40,734
There are only a few people
I can think on Broadway
32
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:44,138
who wrote the script,
wrote the lyrics,
33
00:01:44,172 --> 00:01:46,574
wrote music
and starred in shows.
34
00:01:46,607 --> 00:01:50,844
This is the story of Hamilton:
Phenomenon, history,
35
00:01:50,878 --> 00:01:54,315
and extraordinary men
Talent making everything happened.
36
00:01:54,348 --> 00:01:57,418
Having someone
who is very well read,
37
00:01:57,451 --> 00:02:01,422
charismatic, becoming a pop culture,
Historically smart -
38
00:02:01,455 --> 00:02:04,225
she married
all three of these things together.
39
00:02:04,258 --> 00:02:09,397
It feels like this weird
strand of dynamite
40
00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:13,867
It hit Broadway
and it was like... boom!
41
00:02:30,751 --> 00:02:32,553
When "Hamilton" first aired
42
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:35,856
in February 2015,
This was an instant hit.
43
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:38,326
Universally recognized
by critics,
44
00:02:38,359 --> 00:02:39,693
the game soon becomes
45
00:02:39,727 --> 00:02:41,629
the hottest ticket
in New York City,
46
00:02:41,662 --> 00:02:45,899
with queues
Stretching around block.
47
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:49,537
A mixture of impossible history,
hip-hop and musical theater
48
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:52,340
has captured almost everyone
with surprise,
49
00:02:52,373 --> 00:02:54,675
and as "Hamilton"
Phenomenon grows,
50
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:56,577
public attention
Fast focus
51
00:02:56,610 --> 00:02:59,580
on the show
charismatic creators and stars,
52
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:01,282
Lin- Manuel Miranda. P>
53
00:03:02,583 --> 00:03:04,385
This Lin-Manuel Miranda
54
00:03:04,418 --> 00:03:06,487
is an actor, singer,
55
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,688
a rapper,
56
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:10,724
a librarian, a composer.
57
00:03:10,758 --> 00:03:12,960
He works mainly
in musical theater
58
00:03:12,993 --> 00:03:15,529
But he's also done
television and films.
59
00:03:15,563 --> 00:03:19,733
He's one of the most powerful ,
galvanized power now
60
00:03:19,767 --> 00:03:22,436
in American musicals
theater scene
61
00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:23,837
He went to Wesleyan,
62
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:25,739
which is a good liberal
/> art school
63
00:03:26,774 --> 00:03:29,510
That's when
he started
64
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:31,912
to combine a lot of his interests
from his youth
65
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:36,750
to grow in New York,
in music theater, in hip-hop,
66
00:03:36,784 --> 00:03:39,820
salsa and other types
latino music
67
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:42,756
He started using them to forge
a musical of his own
68
00:03:42,790 --> 00:03:45,559
in the end
will form a kind of revolution
69
00:03:45,593 --> 00:03:47,628
in what musical theater
could be.
70
00:03:47,661 --> 00:03:48,929
He is rare,
71
00:03:48,962 --> 00:03:52,300
especially because
he is also a player.
72
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:53,934
Lin one the only thing missing
73
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:56,537
is Lin is not
a director or choreographer.
74
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:58,472
He may be a director.
75
00:03:58,506 --> 00:04:00,674
He is a capable and talented person. < br /> He can do it.
76
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:03,544
Born in 1980
for Puerto Rican parents,
77
00:04:03,577 --> 00:04:06,614
Miranda grew up
in a Latino environment
78
00:04:06,647 --> 00:04:08,682
from both Washington Heights
and Inwood
79
00:04:08,716 --> 00:04:10,984
in New York Upper Manhattan.
80
00:04:11,018 --> 00:04:13,487
Giving to
music and performing arts
81
00:04:13,521 --> 00:04:15,689
shows itself at a young age,
82
00:04:15,723 --> 00:04:17,991
and gives it a place < br /> at liberal arts college
83
00:04:18,025 --> 00:04:20,894
Wesleyan University
in the late 90s.
84
00:04:20,928 --> 00:04:23,697
It was at Wesleyan,
that young Lin-Manuel
85
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:25,999
first began to combine
the interests of his twin
86
00:04:26,033 --> 00:04:28,436
hip-hop and theater;
87
00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:31,004
he founded an improvisation
hip-hop group
88
00:04:31,038 --> 00:04:33,374
called & apos; Freestyle Love Supreme & apos;
89
00:04:33,407 --> 00:04:35,343
and performed
in many musicals
90
00:04:35,376 --> 00:04:37,311
and theater productions
on campus.
91
00:04:37,345 --> 00:04:39,947
But that happened
his second year at Wesleyan
92
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:42,350
that Lin-Manuel
extraordinary talent started
93
00:04:42,383 --> 00:04:44,885
to separate him from his peers.
94
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:48,356
He began writing the first draft
from "On the Plateau",
95
00:04:48,389 --> 00:04:51,525
musical with an unusual mix of
from Latin music,
96
00:04:51,559 --> 00:04:54,595
salsa and rap elements
it's been determined
97
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:56,797
in Dominican-American
environment
98
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:59,767
from Washington Heights
in New York City.
99
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,970
Together with the young
theater director Thomas Kail,
100
00:05:03,003 --> 00:05:05,072
Miranda developed her game
101
00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:07,675
became full of breath
Broadway production,
102
00:05:07,708 --> 00:05:10,444
which premiered
in Connecticut in 2005,
103
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:13,481
before finally achieving
a big opening
104
00:05:13,514 --> 00:05:15,816
on Broadway in 2008.
105
00:05:16,517 --> 00:05:20,688
I like musicals.
I want life in a musical.
106
00:05:20,721 --> 00:05:23,391
I know I'm not will never go
to get players as Bernardo.
107
00:05:23,424 --> 00:05:26,494
Because I don't dance...
I'm not a ballet dancer.
108
00:05:26,527 --> 00:05:28,696
I know I've never
will be fired
109
00:05:28,729 --> 00:05:30,498
in "Man of La Mancha"
110
00:05:30,531 --> 00:05:32,733
because I don't have
opera voice
111
00:05:32,766 --> 00:05:35,102
And if you want to be
in the musical
112
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:38,038
and you're a Puerto Rican man,
that's all you get
113
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:40,574
That's what
in the canon
114
00:05:40,608 --> 00:05:44,812
So I started writing
" On the Highlands "
115
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:47,515
because I want
to make a way for myself. P>
116
00:05:48,081 --> 00:05:50,651
This is a story
about Dominican Americans
117
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:52,720
lived in Washington Heights
in New York
118
00:05:52,753 --> 00:05:55,823
which
Lin-Manuel Miranda came from.
119
00:05:55,856 --> 00:06:00,561
So this is a kind of
story from people's lives this
120
00:06:00,594 --> 00:06:04,031
who has dreams and aspirations
hopes and desires
121
00:06:04,064 --> 00:06:06,600
to realize the American dream.
122
00:06:06,634 --> 00:06:08,702
"On the Plateau" for me
123
00:06:08,736 --> 00:06:10,604
found him
like the new Spike Lee.
124
00:06:10,638 --> 00:06:13,040
This is a brilliant part of this
from the writing
125
00:06:13,073 --> 00:06:15,476
On the surface
Do you think this story
126
00:06:15,509 --> 00:06:17,878
about the struggle, which one,
127
00:06:17,911 --> 00:06:21,148
and also
family and this cultural diversity
128
00:06:21,181 --> 00:06:24,885
where you see this Latin family
at Heights in Manhattan,
129
00:06:24,918 --> 00:06:27,087
but this is actually the story
/> about gentrification
130
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,492
"On the Plateau" is
very traditional music.
131
00:06:31,525 --> 00:06:34,962
What makes it different
from that tradition
132
00:06:34,995 --> 00:06:37,565
does it
use a different sound
133
00:06:37,598 --> 00:06:40,501
than previously used
in such a way
134
00:06:40,534 --> 00:06:42,803
in musical stories
on Broadway.
135
00:06:42,836 --> 00:06:47,475
Specifically,
It joins, in its initial form,
136
00:06:47,508 --> 00:06:49,910
hip-hop and Latin music.
137
00:06:49,943 --> 00:06:53,747
We don't have many
Latino shows on Broadway.
138
00:06:53,781 --> 00:06:55,816
I think of "West Side Story"
and "On the Plateau".
139
00:06:55,849 --> 00:06:59,086
That's the level.
Lin is the son of New York City.
140
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:03,591
Many shows on Broadway
tend to be set in the past
141
00:07:03,624 --> 00:07:05,859
or in a kind of fantasy world -
142
00:07:05,893 --> 00:07:08,629
fantasy world
"Lion King"
143
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:12,232
or 19th century opera house,
from "The Phantom of the Opera".
144
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,101
Lin's performance is contemporary.
145
00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:17,505
That is his life in the Highlands,
people- people in the neighborhood.
146
00:07:17,538 --> 00:07:20,541
- 96,000!
- Damn it!
147
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:23,210
- 96,000!
Shout!
148
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:24,712
96,000!
149
00:07:24,745 --> 00:07:27,815
- That's a lot of spray cans.
- 96,000...
150
00:07:27,848 --> 00:07:30,818
Yo, if I win
tomorrow tomorrow
151
00:07:30,851 --> 00:07:32,720
I know
I won't bother going
152
00:07:32,753 --> 00:07:34,488
Without fantasizing
153
00:07:34,522 --> 00:07:36,957
I'll choose a business school
and pay the entrance fee!
154
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:39,627
Then maybe if you're lucky,
you will still be friends with me!
155
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:42,596
I'll be an entrepreneur,
richer than Nina's father!
156
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:44,097
Donald Trump and I
on the link
157
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:45,265
And he is my caddy! P>
158
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:46,734
My money is increasing
159
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:48,235
I go from there
po & apos ; to mo & apos; dough!
160
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,103
Keep bling,
I want a brass ring,
161
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:51,539
Like Frodo
162
00:07:51,572 --> 00:07:53,874
Oh no,
this is Mr. Braggadocio
163
00:07:53,907 --> 00:07:56,777
The next thing you know,
he lied like Pinocchio...
164
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:59,246
Only the language,
the excitement...
165
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,114
When "On the Plateau"
is on Broadway
166
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:03,283
is really interesting
cultural moment
167
00:08:03,316 --> 00:08:04,885
That's very strong
168
00:08:04,918 --> 00:08:08,656
and many are rooted
in Lin-Manuel skills.
169
00:08:08,689 --> 00:08:13,293
Exceptional charisma
from Lin-Manuel Miranda,
170
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:15,796
it's the first time
we've seen that
171
00:08:15,829 --> 00:08:18,265
coming through musicals
172
00:08:18,298 --> 00:08:20,067
written by that person
who plays it
173
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:23,937
Important to note
that both are in "In the Heights"
174
00:08:23,971 --> 00:08:25,906
and especially in "Hamilton",
175
00:08:25,939 --> 00:08:27,775
a lot of written
by the author
176
00:08:27,808 --> 00:08:29,209
In order for him to appear,
177
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:32,245
know what he can do
This is very rare. P>
178
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:40,821
"On the Highlands"
proved to be a spectacular success,
179
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:41,989
and set up Miranda
180
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:44,658
as a big new voice
in musical theater.
181
00:08:44,692 --> 00:08:48,662
The drama was nominated
for thirteen Tony awards,
182
00:08:48,696 --> 00:08:51,098
won for Best Musical,
Best Original Score,
183
00:08:51,131 --> 00:08:54,201
Best
Choreography and Best Orchestration
184
00:08:54,234 --> 00:08:57,638
and picked up
Grammy awards for Best Musical
185
00:08:57,671 --> 00:09:00,708
and the nomination for
Pulitzer Prizes for Drama.
186
00:09:01,108 --> 00:09:04,612
Yes!
I mean...
187
00:09:04,645 --> 00:09:08,816
I expected it because...
I don't know
188
00:09:08,849 --> 00:09:13,320
You have to think, dream big
if you will get there
189
00:09:13,353 --> 00:09:15,656
But I expect it
at the same level
190
00:09:15,689 --> 00:09:17,791
as you expected
a Jedi knight when you were three years old
191
00:09:17,825 --> 00:09:19,893
and you've seen
"Return of the Jedi".
192
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:21,862
I never knew
it will come true
193
00:09:21,895 --> 00:09:24,898
So I feel very blessed
and love to be here
194
00:09:24,932 --> 00:09:27,935
with this event already
hard work of love... p >
195
00:09:27,968 --> 00:09:30,604
... for eight years.
196
00:09:31,171 --> 00:09:33,006
A few months
after "In the Heights" was opened
197
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,107
on Broadway,
198
00:09:34,141 --> 00:09:37,645
Lin- Manuel reads historians
Ron Chernow's biography
199
00:09:37,678 --> 00:09:39,146
from Alexander Hamilton
200
00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:42,115
This is proven
a life-changing event.
201
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:46,386
One of the more obvious
founders
202
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:49,022
some Americans
will know a lot about Hamilton,
203
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:52,059
besides that his face appears
on a ten-dollar bill. P>
204
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:55,062
But Miranda is fascinated
with the story
205
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:57,631
and starts imagining it
a new project:
206
00:09:57,665 --> 00:10:01,969
a musical based around life
from Alexander Hamilton
207
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:06,874
Alexander Hamilton might be
the most important person
208
00:10:06,907 --> 00:10:10,010
of the American Revolution
who is not the president
209
00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:13,013
Alexander Hamilton was born
210
00:10:13,046 --> 00:10:15,749
out of wedlock
in the West Indies.
211
00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:19,252
He is orphan
at the time he was 14 years old.
212
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:22,322
He struggled.
He was very lucky
213
00:10:22,355 --> 00:10:26,794
to have several people
who were his supporters,
214
00:10:26,827 --> 00:10:29,730
The booster and that's the way
He ends up in New York.
215
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:33,066
As a young man he knows poverty.
He has seen it.
216
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:36,970
He has experienced it. <
217
00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:39,707
Hamilton's early life lasted
218
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:42,976
during the most critical period
in American history
219
00:10:43,010 --> 00:10:46,847
Revolutionary War broke out
220
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,882
br /> While he is still a student,
221
00:10:48,916 --> 00:10:51,218
and young Hamilton
take full part
222
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:54,321
in political turbulence
from time,
223
00:10:54,354 --> 00:10:57,057
goes up become one
of the most important figures
224
00:10:57,000 --> 00:01:09,827
at birth
American Independence.
225
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:01,729
Alexander Hamilton
starts writing
226
00:11:01,762 --> 00:11:03,997
for support revolution
227
00:11:04,031 --> 00:11:07,067
when is he fair
a young student
228
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:10,738
He is very active
in the military,
229
00:11:10,771 --> 00:11:13,073
He is in
constitutional convention.
230
00:11:13,106 --> 00:11:15,175
He is instrumental
231
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:19,179
getting New York
to ratify the constitution.
232
00:11:19,212 --> 00:11:23,050
Then, he become the first
finance minister,
233
00:11:23,083 --> 00:11:27,187
put the United States in
a truly healthy financial footing
234
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:29,289
He has a vision for America
235
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:33,060
It was one of the industries
military strength and strength
236
00:11:33,093 --> 00:11:35,028
That was a huge contrast
237
00:11:35,062 --> 00:11:36,329
for some
from other founding founders
238
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:38,131
like Jefferson and Madison,
239
00:11:38,165 --> 00:11:40,734
who saw us
as an agrarian society
240
00:11:40,768 --> 00:11:43,003
with a large middle class
241
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:46,173
and only suburban elements
in upper and lower classes.
242
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:49,843
The fact that this is indeed the case
whose vision won
243
00:11:49,877 --> 00:11:51,812
will anyone see
today
244
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:54,948
it refers to what
some might consider
245
00:11:54,982 --> 00:11:58,318
America's greatness,
is it really or not
246
00:11:58,351 --> 00:12:00,287
So I suggest
That's its meaning.
247
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,290
The
financial institutions and the economy we have
248
00:12:03,323 --> 00:12:07,160
are all based on the principles,
and really they are themselves.
249
00:12:07,861 --> 00:12:11,131
Alexander Hamilton
is a true capitalist,
250
00:12:11,164 --> 00:12:13,934
a true capitalist who believes
251
00:12:13,967 --> 00:12:17,104
that's free trade
the best for this country,
252
00:12:17,137 --> 00:12:19,439
the best for traders
in the end,
253
00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:22,142
and the best for customers
in the end.
254
00:12:22,175 --> 00:12:23,944
This will reduce prices,
255
00:12:23,977 --> 00:12:25,846
it will produce a better product
256
00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:27,314
at the same time
257
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:30,750
he will not recognize
the system we have now
258
00:12:31,184 --> 00:12:33,320
He certainly isn't a supporter
259
00:12:33,353 --> 00:12:36,957
government support
ordinary people.
260
00:12:37,925 --> 00:12:40,493
But no
In the 18th century.
261
00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:43,797
Inspired by
Ron Chernow's Biography,
262
00:12:43,831 --> 00:12:45,498
Miranda starts
to write material
263
00:12:45,532 --> 00:12:47,100
around Hamilton live
264
00:12:47,134 --> 00:12:50,270
which will eventually form
the basis of a show
265
00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:52,472
He called it
"Hamilton Mixtape". P>
266
00:12:52,505 --> 00:12:57,845
He has everything in his life
that makes for a big story,
267
00:12:57,878 --> 00:13:00,247
that makes good music p >
268
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,449
and in many ways
this might be surprising
269
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:05,018
needed
until the 21st century
270
00:13:05,052 --> 00:13:06,820
that we have based games
271
00:13:06,854 --> 00:13:08,822
on the life of
from Alexander Hamilton,
272
00:13:08,856 --> 00:13:11,591
I think this is rather surprising
what Lin-Manuel decided
273
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,193
to do the whole music
274
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:15,228
based on life
from Alexander Hamilton,
275
00:13:15,262 --> 00:13:18,431
especially after finishing
"On the Highlands" before.
276
00:13:18,465 --> 00:13:20,433
I don't know if you read
277
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:21,969
biography from
Alexander Hamilton and thought,
278
00:13:22,002 --> 00:13:25,138
"Wow, this will happen
Very good hip-hop music."
279
00:13:25,172 --> 00:13:27,140
This is a strange choice
from source material
280
00:13:27,174 --> 00:13:31,879
but at the same time it's clear
that Lin-Manuel looks at the elements
281
00:13:31,912 --> 00:13:34,514
in biography
Alexander Hamilton
282
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:37,217
that he can use
to make
283
00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:39,319
stories about
nature of American characters
284
00:13:39,352 --> 00:13:42,122
and American dreams
that he wants to say.
285
00:13:42,155 --> 00:13:47,160
Apa Lin-Manuel seems to focus < br /> through hip-hop, of course,
286
00:13:47,194 --> 00:13:50,197
is the story of a man who made himself,
287
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:52,065
someone young
and hungry actually -
288
00:13:52,099 --> 00:13:54,134
that's one of the main lyrics -
289
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:57,337
and come to the United States
to start a new life
290
00:13:57,370 --> 00:14:00,007
and finally rise to heights
291
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,175
he alone can
never be able to guess
292
00:14:02,209 --> 00:14:08,215
That's the impact of aspiration
and the urge to play.
293
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:10,350
Lin-Manuel
the vision for "Hamilton"
294
00:14:10,383 --> 00:14:11,885
is to tell the story
295
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:14,054
from a founder
via hip-hop
296
00:14:14,087 --> 00:14:17,557
That is a radical idea,
matching historical narrative
297
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:20,527
with ethically diverse players
and music rap.
298
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,430
And that will be something
really new for Broadway,
299
00:14:23,463 --> 00:14:26,900
which in 2008,
ready to shake-up. p >
300
00:14:26,934 --> 00:14:28,969
Broadway managed to get past it
a difficult time
301
00:14:29,002 --> 00:14:30,904
in the late 60s
and into the 70s.
302
00:14:30,938 --> 00:14:32,906
New York City
was bankrupt
303
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:34,507
Times Square is dangerous.
304
00:14:34,541 --> 00:14:36,509
There is no such thing
as "Lion King"
305
00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:38,912
or family shows in 1975.
306
00:14:38,946 --> 00:14:42,615
And like many other businesses
in New York City at that time,
307
00:14:42,649 --> 00:14:44,417
Broadway can't go
New York. P>
308
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:47,554
Where will Broadway go?
New Jersey?
No.
309
00:14:47,587 --> 00:14:50,023
Broadway must survive.
310
00:14:50,057 --> 00:14:52,926
The only way
He knows how to survive
311
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,362
found young, creative people,
312
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:58,531
Lin-Manuel Mirandas
their day to return
313
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:02,535
who created the show suddenly
became the attraction
314
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:04,204
that people want to see. P>
315
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:06,339
So if you come back
four years ago,
316
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,609
Lin-Manuel Miranda
from the early 70s
317
00:15:09,642 --> 00:15:12,245
was a man named
Michael Bennett,
318
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:15,715
who is a choreographer,
who has a dream of a show
319
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:18,418
about the dancers in
the choir a show on Broadway,
320
00:15:18,451 --> 00:15:19,987
gypsies that we call them.
321
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:23,290
From there he
an event called " A Chorus Line ",
322
00:15:23,323 --> 00:15:25,325
which is" Hamilton "
from the day
323
00:15:25,358 --> 00:15:28,361
It was opened on Broadway
in Times Square
324
00:15:28,395 --> 00:15:30,063
at Schubert Theater,
325
00:15:30,097 --> 00:15:33,066
Suddenly this business
who is almost dead
326
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:34,301
has life in it again.
327
00:15:34,334 --> 00:15:38,138
Then in the 80s, and we have
English to thank you for this,
328
00:15:38,171 --> 00:15:40,007
Cameron Mackintosh
and Andrew Lloyd Webber
329
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,276
come with this fully
cockamamie ideas for musicals
330
00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:46,379
about children's poetry
about cats
331
00:15:46,413 --> 00:15:49,149
It turned out to be
the most successful event
332
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:50,317
in Broadway history
333
00:15:50,350 --> 00:15:54,554
and making so much money for this industry
and New York City
334
00:15:54,587 --> 00:15:58,225
that began to be raised
the fate of Broadway,
335
00:15:58,258 --> 00:15:59,993
Times Square and New York City.
336
00:16:00,027 --> 00:16:02,695
Then when you start having it
things like "Les Miserables"
337
00:16:02,729 --> 00:16:05,365
and "The Phantom of the Opera"
and "Miss Saigon", p >
338
00:16:05,398 --> 00:16:08,135
You have Broadway
It's no longer a remote area
339
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:09,302
from the entertainment industry,
340
00:16:09,336 --> 00:16:14,207
but businesses that literally
generate billions of dollars
341
00:16:14,241 --> 00:16:16,776
Here shows
trips around the world.
342
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:21,081
By the time "Hamilton"
is being developed,
343
00:16:21,114 --> 00:16:24,351
American musical theater
is in amorphous
344
00:16:24,384 --> 00:16:28,155
and almost morbid circumstances
345
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:31,224
uncertainty about what can happen.
346
00:16:31,258 --> 00:16:33,493
There are many attempts
347
00:16:33,526 --> 00:16:36,596
to find a sound new
for musicals.
348
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:40,233
You can't
too flat out seriously
349
00:16:40,267 --> 00:16:41,434
It's gloomy.
350
00:16:41,468 --> 00:16:45,538
You definitely can't do that
too cheerful and old-fashioned
351
00:16:45,572 --> 00:16:47,407
because people will snore.
352
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,743
You can't
ghost with a mask
353
00:16:50,777 --> 00:16:52,412
singing
at the top of their lungs.
354
00:16:52,445 --> 00:16:55,115
There are many things
you can't do anymore
355
00:16:55,148 --> 00:16:57,150
but it's not a clear idea
of what you can do
356
00:16:57,184 --> 00:17:00,153
In 2008, when "In the Heights "
appearing on Broadway,
357
00:17:00,187 --> 00:17:01,821
many other shows
from time
358
00:17:01,854 --> 00:17:03,390
tend to be jukebox music.
359
00:17:03,423 --> 00:17:06,726
I mean musical
it will take
360
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:10,363
catalog songs that are
by pop or band artists
361
00:17:10,397 --> 00:17:12,265
then create
original dramatic narratives
362
00:17:12,299 --> 00:17:13,466
around the song catalog that.
363
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:17,604
I'm thinking of "Jersey Boys"
who are celebrating the music
364
00:17:17,637 --> 00:17:19,206
from Frankie Valli
and Four Seasons.
365
00:17:19,239 --> 00:17:22,209
"Mamma Mia" which is celebrated
Abba music.
366
00:17:22,242 --> 00:17:25,312
Broadway starts to rely on
in music jukebox
367
00:17:25,345 --> 00:17:27,280
because they are certain.
368
00:17:27,314 --> 00:17:29,116
When on Broadway
369
00:17:29,149 --> 00:17:32,352
can't
to take artistic risks
370
00:17:32,385 --> 00:17:35,488
that might have happened in the past,
in the heyday of
371
00:17:35,522 --> 00:17:37,857
work by people
like Michael Bennett,
372
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:43,596
I think jukebox music
gives a safe alternative
373
00:17:43,630 --> 00:17:46,099
for the Broadway community.
374
00:17:46,133 --> 00:17:49,169
Sure people
will come to this musical
375
00:17:49,202 --> 00:17:50,637
because they already
know the music
376
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:52,539
becomes available
buy immediately.
377
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,807
Then you will only wrap a story
around music
378
00:17:54,841 --> 00:17:57,210
This is where
379
00:17:57,244 --> 00:18:00,180
Lin-Manuel Miranda
is developing "Hamilton",
380
00:18:00,213 --> 00:18:03,616
where there is no consensus
381
00:18:03,650 --> 00:18:06,753
about what music
can now
382
00:18:06,786 --> 00:18:09,722
but there are many consensus
about what they cannot do.
383
00:18:09,756 --> 00:18:14,694
definitely an understanding
The new voice,
384
00:18:14,727 --> 00:18:18,165
new
characters that haven't been seen on stage
385
00:18:18,198 --> 00:18:22,269
are treated seriously
need to be part of the story.
386
00:18:22,702 --> 00:18:24,437
As the show developed
387
00:18:24,471 --> 00:18:27,274
industry insiders
rumors began to circulate
388
00:18:27,307 --> 00:18:29,142
about exciting new music
389
00:18:29,176 --> 00:18:31,811
based on the life of
from Alexander Hamilton,
390
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:35,882
and in May 2009
the community got their first gaze.
391
00:18:35,915 --> 00:18:37,650
Lin-Manuel entered
392
00:18:37,684 --> 00:18:40,587
a night "Poetry,
" Music and Words Delivered "
393
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:41,421
in the White House
394
00:18:41,454 --> 00:18:43,556
and done
some material
395
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:45,325
from "Hamilton Mixtape"
396
00:18:45,358 --> 00:18:48,195
in front of the
President and First Lady.
397
00:18:48,228 --> 00:18:49,929
This is a concept album
about someone's life
398
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:51,831
I think of creating hip-hop,
399
00:18:51,864 --> 00:18:54,133
Minister of Finance
Alexander Hamilton
400
00:18:56,569 --> 00:19:00,407
How are bastards,
orphans, prostitutes
401
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,242
And a Scotsman, fell
402
00:19:02,275 --> 00:19:04,544
In the middle of
from a forgotten place
403
00:19:04,577 --> 00:19:07,580
In the Caribbean
with bad providence,
404
00:19:07,614 --> 00:19:09,749
In destitution,
grow to be a hero
405
00:19:09,782 --> 00:19:10,950
And a scholar?
406
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,819
Ten dollars
father's founder
407
00:19:12,852 --> 00:19:14,387
Without father
408
00:19:14,421 --> 00:19:17,190
Get much further
by working harder
409
00:19:17,224 --> 00:19:20,627
By being much smarter
By becoming a self-starter
410
00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:22,795
At the age of fourteen,
they place it
411
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:24,864
Responsible
from the trading charter...
412
00:19:24,897 --> 00:19:26,633
Initial reaction
413
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:27,800
For ideas it's skeptical.
414
00:19:27,834 --> 00:19:30,770
I mean, hip-hop musicals
about the founding father,
415
00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:34,274
and all played by black
and Hispanic people
416
00:19:34,307 --> 00:19:35,275
there are no white people,
417
00:19:35,308 --> 00:19:37,577
a little weird.
418
00:19:38,445 --> 00:19:41,214
But there is a workshop,
419
00:19:41,248 --> 00:19:43,716
very personal
for friends - friend Lin,
420
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:45,452
event supporters
421
00:19:45,485 --> 00:19:47,587
I happened to have
some spies there
422
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:50,323
I heard people
right- really impressed
423
00:19:50,357 --> 00:19:53,226
They think
the songs are really great
424
00:19:53,260 --> 00:19:55,528
He was created
this interesting character
425
00:19:55,562 --> 00:19:56,363
at the founding father.
426
00:19:56,396 --> 00:19:58,965
Doesn't feel flour
or history.
427
00:19:58,998 --> 00:20:02,469
It feels contemporary.
It feels vital.
428
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:06,406
It has an extraordinary skit
and energy.
429
00:20:06,439 --> 00:20:08,341
That's when I started hearing,
430
00:20:08,375 --> 00:20:09,976
"You must take care of your eyes
on this event."
431
00:20:10,009 --> 00:20:13,480
Lin-Manuel Miranda was known
at the theater at that time,
432
00:20:13,513 --> 00:20:16,583
but not
to... the world in general.
433
00:20:16,616 --> 00:20:19,886
That might be Obamas & apos;
support from "Hamilton"
434
00:20:20,653 --> 00:20:22,822
which made it a phenomenon
that's today
435
00:20:22,855 --> 00:20:25,525
But it actually stands out
from the White House event
436
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:27,560
that
the "Hamilton Mixtape",
437
00:20:27,594 --> 00:20:30,430
as the name suggests,
all about hip-hop
438
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:32,499
When Lin-Manuel
stands knocking
439
00:20:32,532 --> 00:20:33,533
in front of the President,
440
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:36,369
Obviously for the observer
that he is planning
441
00:20:36,403 --> 00:20:39,272
to try and succeed
where others have failed,
442
00:20:39,306 --> 00:20:42,041
and made hip-hop
a blow on Broadway
443
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:44,377
Alright, beat it.
444
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:49,882
He vomited a few words
445
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:51,618
I started saying it
some freestyle
446
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:53,953
That you never heard it
Constitution
447
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:56,556
POTUS, I am freestyling,
You know this
448
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:58,725
Obamacare, okay
I look up now
449
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:01,361
There is no previous hope
You enforced that system
450
00:21:01,394 --> 00:21:02,795
Federalist Papers p >
451
00:21:02,829 --> 00:21:05,698
Hamilton wrote
another 51 and bigger
452
00:21:05,732 --> 00:21:07,734
And Sunny and Bo,
the dog
453
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:10,503
It's salty salty,
geez...
454
00:21:10,537 --> 00:21:12,372
We're telling a story
455
00:21:12,405 --> 00:21:13,873
music on stage
so it's musical.
456
00:21:13,906 --> 00:21:16,075
That's the only definition
musical theater music:
457
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:18,978
tells a story on stage
through music
458
00:21:19,011 --> 00:21:21,414
Everything else is up to
You have to write rules.
459
00:21:21,448 --> 00:21:26,619
For me, what's nice is
if it's the initial inspiration
460
00:21:26,653 --> 00:21:30,857
Hamilton is an extraordinary
hip-hop character,
461
00:21:30,890 --> 00:21:34,461
You can't tell the story
in other genres of music.
462
00:21:34,494 --> 00:21:36,095
Porque usas más palabras
463
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:39,031
He uses more words
than other founders.
464
00:21:39,065 --> 00:21:41,968
He leaves more writing
than other founders.
465
00:21:42,001 --> 00:21:44,437
If you do opera,
it will be a long day
466
00:21:45,572 --> 00:21:49,476
You need to be hip-hip because you have
more words per size
467
00:21:49,509 --> 00:21:51,544
than other music genres. p >
468
00:21:51,578 --> 00:21:56,983
It also has the energy of
making something out of nothing,
469
00:21:57,016 --> 00:21:59,552
writing well
about your situation
470
00:21:59,586 --> 00:22:00,720
that you surpass them.
471
00:22:00,753 --> 00:22:02,789
Already
a lot of historical effort
472
00:22:02,822 --> 00:22:05,057
to try to incorporate hip-hop
473
00:22:05,091 --> 00:22:07,994
into musical theater
especially.
474
00:22:08,027 --> 00:22:09,862
I'm thinking in the 1990s
475
00:22:09,896 --> 00:22:11,364
"Bring & apos; da Noise,
Bring & apos; da Funk & apos;
476
00:22:11,398 --> 00:22:12,899
George C. Wolfe
directed show
477
00:22:12,932 --> 00:22:14,667
that starred in Savion Glover.
478
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:18,405
It's a mix of taps
and funk and hip-hop.
479
00:22:18,438 --> 00:22:21,608
That's quite successful
on time
480
00:22:21,641 --> 00:22:25,678
But I think in general,
hip-hop as a form
481
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:28,881
that pursues
a kind of authenticity
482
00:22:28,915 --> 00:22:31,551
that is strongly related
to road credibility,
483
00:22:31,584 --> 00:22:33,953
it very rooted
in the blues
484
00:22:33,986 --> 00:22:37,590
where you live your life
that you sing on your song
485
00:22:37,624 --> 00:22:39,659
or that you rap
about your song p >
486
00:22:39,692 --> 00:22:42,695
There are ways in which
that rubs against
487
00:22:42,729 --> 00:22:45,698
types
expressive inauthenticity
488
00:22:45,732 --> 00:22:46,999
musical theater.
489
00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:48,601
There have been attempts
490
00:22:48,635 --> 00:22:50,437
in hip-hop
blending and theater,
491
00:22:50,470 --> 00:22:54,674
is it Mos Def
in "Topdog / Underdog".
492
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:58,811
Puff Daddy has an important role in
"Raisins in the Sun".
493
00:22:58,845 --> 00:23:01,080
Even like Tupac games.
494
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:02,782
Then come "Hamilton"
495
00:23:02,815 --> 00:23:06,553
and that is something where
like overnight success
496
00:23:06,586 --> 00:23:09,656
or something like this
great and successful talent
497
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:12,692
comes from paved
road by others.
498
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:15,495
To take some
from the dominant theme
499
00:23:15,528 --> 00:23:20,500
in hip-hop mythology,
must be done with underdogs
500
00:23:20,533 --> 00:23:23,002
increase
to cultural mainstream -
501
00:23:23,035 --> 00:23:25,872
to take some of these themes
and apply them
502
00:23:25,905 --> 00:23:28,007
to retell history
503
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,909
I think it's very strong
as a gesture.
504
00:23:29,942 --> 00:23:33,179
And of course
all beef and fight
505
00:23:33,212 --> 00:23:35,147
that Alexander Hamilton faced
506
00:23:35,181 --> 00:23:38,117
during the course
from his long career
507
00:23:38,150 --> 00:23:40,820
run parallel
for beef and hip-hop fights
508
00:23:40,853 --> 00:23:42,589
which are part of
the nature of the form itself.
509
00:23:42,622 --> 00:23:48,761
The success of hip-hop entering
"Hamilton" is the fact that
510
00:23:48,795 --> 00:23:53,232
in one minute
part of the song in hip-hop
511
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:57,804
you will have 4 to 10 times
more words
512
00:23:57,837 --> 00:23:59,906
than you want
in traditional songs
513
00:23:59,939 --> 00:24:04,744
So he has the ability to
4 to 10 times more information
514
00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:07,980
at each time of the show.
515
00:24:08,014 --> 00:24:10,049
This is part of why the show
is so amazing
516
00:24:10,082 --> 00:24:13,920
You were given
a ton of information
517
00:24:13,953 --> 00:24:16,856
always
and never give up.
518
00:24:16,889 --> 00:24:20,993
As soon as I decide Hamilton
an extraordinary hip-hop figure,
519
00:24:21,761 --> 00:24:24,797
and this is all from
my first read this book,
520
00:24:24,831 --> 00:24:27,934
I go, "So what does
sound like?"
521
00:24:27,967 --> 00:24:29,869
That's how
you build a score.
522
00:24:29,902 --> 00:24:34,106
So he won't be...
He will be like my hero.
523
00:24:34,140 --> 00:24:37,777
He will be a 6 syllable rhyme
on the line if he needs to.
524
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:41,080
He will be the son of Rakim,
Eminem's son,
525
00:24:41,113 --> 00:24:43,616
- the son of Big Pun,
526
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:46,018
who has one of my favorites
hip-hop lyrics of all time...
527
00:24:46,052 --> 00:24:47,787
Dead in the middle
from Little Italy
528
00:24:47,820 --> 00:24:49,856
Little did we know
that we stuck two middlemen
529
00:24:49,889 --> 00:24:51,624
Who didn't do diddly...
530
00:24:56,763 --> 00:24:59,265
Lyricists that make you
play them back instantly
531
00:24:59,298 --> 00:25:00,800
because you can't believe it
532
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:03,536
how many poems
have occurred on a line
533
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:07,273
That's what I love
and that I keep going back,
534
00:25:07,306 --> 00:25:09,609
and Big Pun
are great for me.
535
00:25:09,642 --> 00:25:12,211
So it takes a year
to write "My Shot"
536
00:25:12,244 --> 00:25:15,648
because "My Shot"
/> mostly Hamilton sounds
537
00:25:15,682 --> 00:25:21,087
and I want it
the line & apos; Big Pun-ish & apos; that
538
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,790
where every syllable is filled,
539
00:25:23,823 --> 00:25:28,861
makes at least 4 syllables
rhymes every time
So that's it...
540
00:25:28,895 --> 00:25:30,262
A diamonds are rough...
541
00:25:30,296 --> 00:25:31,864
Which are Big Pun's lyrics.
542
00:25:31,898 --> 00:25:33,733
Shiny coal
Tryi & apos; to reach my goal
543
00:25:33,766 --> 00:25:35,602
The power of speaking me:
impeccable
544
00:25:35,635 --> 00:25:37,637
Just nineteen
but my mind is older
545
00:25:37,670 --> 00:25:39,205
Which is the lyrics of Mobb Deep.
546
00:25:39,238 --> 00:25:41,207
Traveling City This New York
is getting cooler, I'm shoulder
547
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,909
E & apos; ry load,
very detrimental
548
00:25:42,942 --> 00:25:44,777
I have learned to manage
549
00:25:44,811 --> 00:25:46,679
I don't have a weapon to screw up
I walk in this street starving
550
00:25:46,713 --> 00:25:48,881
The plan is to fan
this triggers a fire
551
00:25:48,915 --> 00:25:50,116
But damn it, it's getting dark / p>
552
00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:51,818
So let me
decipher the name...
553
00:25:51,851 --> 00:25:53,586
Once the end of the line
554
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:55,321
agrees with
the beginning of the next line.
555
00:25:55,354 --> 00:25:57,657
So they have to follow
each other,
556
00:25:57,690 --> 00:26:02,328
like strung up
as the best thick rope.
557
00:26:02,361 --> 00:26:04,363
So what happens?
people else sounds like?
558
00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:07,900
So I read about
George Washington
559
00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:10,002
and I was reading
he ran away from New York
560
00:26:10,036 --> 00:26:12,071
and this is moral authority.
561
00:26:12,104 --> 00:26:14,206
He is the only veteran we have.
562
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,044
So this is very strict,
563
00:26:18,077 --> 00:26:22,682
it is regimented
as military thinking .
His...
564
00:26:22,715 --> 00:26:25,918
Can I be real for a second?
Only in milliseconds?
565
00:26:25,952 --> 00:26:27,920
Lower my guard
and tell people...
566
00:26:27,954 --> 00:26:30,022
None syncopation
in it at all
567
00:26:30,056 --> 00:26:32,224
This can-do-it-can...
568
00:26:32,258 --> 00:26:34,761
He's a military.
He likes military poetry. p >
569
00:26:35,194 --> 00:26:37,296
Thomas Jefferson.
570
00:26:37,329 --> 00:26:39,766
Thomas Jefferson missed
most of the war,
571
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:41,701
But he wrote
our founding documents
572
00:26:41,734 --> 00:26:43,770
He write
Declaration of Independence.
573
00:26:43,803 --> 00:26:46,806
But he just got cold in France
574
00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:50,409
So I threw it as jazz
which led to hip-hop.
575
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,912
So I listened a lot
Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.
576
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:54,881
I listened a lot
from Gil Scott Heron.
577
00:26:54,914 --> 00:26:57,750
I listened to jazz < br>> that if you hit below it
578
00:26:57,784 --> 00:27:00,019
it's going to be hip-hop,
but it's jazz
579
00:27:00,052 --> 00:27:02,889
That's cool.
580
00:27:02,922 --> 00:27:05,992
From the current,
to the beat,
581
00:27:06,025 --> 00:27:08,160
like them
dropping to the beat.
582
00:27:08,194 --> 00:27:11,397
So much so that the soundtrack
for "Hamilton" maps.
583
00:27:11,430 --> 00:27:13,833
People will say,
584
00:27:13,866 --> 00:27:16,068
"I'm going to" Hamilton ".
Are you going to the show?" P>
585
00:27:16,102 --> 00:27:18,370
"No, but I'm listening
to the soundtrack
586
00:27:18,404 --> 00:27:19,906
Especially when you think
about that
587
00:27:19,939 --> 00:27:21,808
who can't get a ticket
to the show
588
00:27:21,841 --> 00:27:24,711
Instead they have this soundtrack
that they can go to p >
589
00:27:24,744 --> 00:27:28,314
and testify
for talent at the audio level.
590
00:27:28,347 --> 00:27:30,750
Lin-Manuel finally sent
591
00:27:30,783 --> 00:27:34,120
a copy of "The Hamilton Mixtape"
to Oskar Eustis,
592
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:37,724
Artistic Director of
New York Public Theater.
593
00:27:37,757 --> 00:27:40,159
Originally founded
by left-wing producers
594
00:27:40,192 --> 00:27:41,961
and director Joe Papp,
595
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:44,463
for years The Public
has built a reputation
596
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:48,067
for the original, challenging
and radical theater.
597
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:50,770
When Oskar Eustis
hears Lin Manuel's recording,
598
00:27:50,803 --> 00:27:52,104
he immediately offers
599
00:27:52,138 --> 00:27:53,973
to develop the show
at The Public,
600
00:27:54,006 --> 00:27:56,743
and Hamilton had his first home.
601
00:27:56,776 --> 00:27:58,410
Public Theater was established
602
00:27:58,444 --> 00:28:00,980
by Joe Papp in the 1950s <
603
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:05,451
and he believes
it's Shakespeare and theater
604
00:28:05,484 --> 00:28:08,454
shouldn't just be
for rich people
605
00:28:08,487 --> 00:28:11,791
They should be available
to poor people
606
00:28:11,824 --> 00:28:14,861
and working class
Americans.
607
00:28:14,894 --> 00:28:16,262
That's why
he called the cinema
608
00:28:16,295 --> 00:28:19,999
Teater Umum
karena untuk 'Publik'.
609
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:23,069
Some musicals
that The Public has produced
610
00:28:23,102 --> 00:28:25,471
have represented
a real change point
611
00:28:25,504 --> 00:28:28,174
in the development of
musical theater,
612
00:28:28,207 --> 00:28:30,042
starts with
one of the earliest,
613
00:28:30,076 --> 00:28:31,744
"Hair", in 1968
614
00:28:31,778 --> 00:28:33,412
which starts in the city center
Off-Broadway
615
00:28:33,445 --> 00:28:35,214
then moved to Broadway.
616
00:28:35,247 --> 00:28:37,750
"Chorus Path"
is the most famous
617
00:28:37,784 --> 00:28:41,187
and has helped them produce
non-musical dramas that serious
618
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:43,222
for decades since.
619
00:28:43,255 --> 00:28:46,158
And recently
a show like "Fun Home"
620
00:28:46,192 --> 00:28:48,795
and "Hamilton" too < br /> has been produced there
621
00:28:48,828 --> 00:28:50,830
Lin sent the tape to Oskar.
622
00:28:50,863 --> 00:28:52,865
I'm sure Oskar likes
some songs.
623
00:28:52,899 --> 00:28:54,266
But Oskar doesn't see
the script is not yet
624
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:56,803
He doesn't know the show
it will look like
625
00:28:56,836 --> 00:28:58,204
But he likes what he hears
626
00:28:58,237 --> 00:29:00,339
and more importantly
He likes Lin-Manuel Miranda. P>
627
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:03,109
He believes
that Lin-Manuel Miranda
628
00:29:03,142 --> 00:29:05,444
is an original artist that
will create something
629
00:29:05,477 --> 00:29:06,645
that he wants to be part of from.
630
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:09,148
That's basically the work
Artistic Director.
631
00:29:09,181 --> 00:29:10,516
That's Joe Papp
doing brilliantly
632
00:29:10,549 --> 00:29:11,918
and that's what Oskar did.
633
00:29:11,951 --> 00:29:13,052
They support people
634
00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:15,221
who goes
to make a show
635
00:29:15,254 --> 00:29:17,857
that one day
will be discussed. p >
636
00:29:17,890 --> 00:29:21,928
As far as
performances are needed to build from a core audience
637
00:29:21,961 --> 00:29:23,462
for a larger audience,
638
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:28,367
This is useful for marking a show
That way and people know,
639
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,403
"Oh, that seems like that
Things I will enjoy."
640
00:29:31,437 --> 00:29:34,573
What happens even though you open
in the Public Theater.
641
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:37,243
You already have this buzz
build about the show
642
00:29:38,377 --> 00:29:42,982
You have critics in.
They raved about it.
643
00:29:43,015 --> 00:29:46,052
You only have 250 seats
to sell the night
644
00:29:46,919 --> 00:29:49,922
Every VIP in this country,
trust me,
645
00:29:49,956 --> 00:29:52,324
is trying to get
to the event
646
00:29:52,358 --> 00:29:54,226
which has just been released
buzz further.
647
00:29:54,961 --> 00:29:58,330
So you have this phenomenon
created in this tiny theater
648
00:29:58,364 --> 00:30:00,366
it will be
to explode finally
649
00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:02,534
The only way you can do
explode is to go to Broadway
650
00:30:02,568 --> 00:30:04,403
and explode there
651
00:30:04,436 --> 00:30:06,138
Hamilton opens on The Public
652
00:30:06,172 --> 00:30:09,842
pada bulan Februari 2015
untuk mendapat pujian besar.
653
00:30:09,876 --> 00:30:12,879
Criticism is raving about
Lin-Manuel Miranda's vision
654
00:30:12,912 --> 00:30:15,581
and chairs in small,
intimate auditorium
655
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:19,118
soon to be the most
searchable ticket in town
656
00:30:19,151 --> 00:30:23,455
A publicist in New York
begged me to see it.
657
00:30:23,489 --> 00:30:26,926
He said,
"That's very good.
658
00:30:26,959 --> 00:30:30,229
" It's like hip-hop
and American history. "
659
00:30:30,262 --> 00:30:32,498
I'm like," Oh, man.
660
00:30:32,531 --> 00:30:35,334
"Like Broadway hip-hop."
No thanks.
661
00:30:35,367 --> 00:30:40,506
Finally, a little humor
This person, I said,
662
00:30:40,539 --> 00:30:44,310
"I want a ticket tomorrow."
663
00:30:46,245 --> 00:30:48,847
I just got knocked out!
664
00:30:50,349 --> 00:30:53,953
That was the last thing
I expect. P>
665
00:30:53,986 --> 00:30:56,022
The review for "Hamilton"
no longer exists. P>
666
00:30:56,055 --> 00:30:59,358
That is one of the best reviews
shows I can imagine
667
00:30:59,391 --> 00:31:01,160
It's been a while
668
00:31:01,193 --> 00:31:03,195
in my life
in American theater
669
00:31:03,229 --> 00:31:06,432
where there are already shows
It's not just shows,
670
00:31:06,465 --> 00:31:09,535
But they are cultural movements
in a certain direction
671
00:31:09,568 --> 00:31:11,904
I think "Hamilton"
is one of them
672
00:31:11,938 --> 00:31:15,407
extraordinary moments teasing
in American theater
673
00:31:15,441 --> 00:31:18,244
the place received critical response
674
00:31:18,277 --> 00:31:21,080
and that too...
commercial success
675
00:31:21,547 --> 00:31:23,315
Starting with
an opening song
676
00:31:23,349 --> 00:31:25,351
that summarizes his childhood,
677
00:31:25,384 --> 00:31:29,121
"Hamilton" traces the story
Life Alexander Hamilton,
678
00:31:29,155 --> 00:31:31,924
from being raised as an orphan
in the Caribbean
679
00:31:31,958 --> 00:31:34,160
until his death in 1804
680
00:31:34,193 --> 00:31:36,929
in the hands of arch rivals
Aaron Burr
681
00:31:36,963 --> 00:31:38,197
During his two actions,
682
00:31:38,230 --> 00:31:41,000
the touch of the game
about Hamilton's personal life,
683
00:31:41,033 --> 00:31:43,635
professional achievements,
political ideas
684
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:47,439
and its relationship with others
famous historical figures,
685
00:31:47,473 --> 00:31:50,109
with many criticisms
commenting on adult
686
00:31:50,142 --> 00:31:53,379
and nuanced portrayals of
from American founders .
687
00:31:53,412 --> 00:31:55,081
Examination
688
00:31:55,114 --> 00:31:56,983
from Hamilton's life
is displayed concentrate
689
00:31:57,016 --> 00:31:59,551
on immigrants
and outsider status.
690
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:01,553
He will never be able to
be elected president
691
00:32:01,587 --> 00:32:03,722
because he was not born
in America. P>
692
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,457
He is from the West Indies. P>
693
00:32:05,491 --> 00:32:11,297
And he's an outsider
who can make it
694
00:32:12,398 --> 00:32:15,167
because he is creating
the formation
695
00:32:15,201 --> 00:32:16,302
that he will go
to make it enter p >
696
00:32:17,336 --> 00:32:20,006
He created himself
697
00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:23,109
and country
at the same time.
698
00:32:23,142 --> 00:32:29,481
Often when we are presented
with the founders,
699
00:32:30,482 --> 00:32:34,520
it's good
in a very religious way
700
00:32:34,553 --> 00:32:38,090
where they kind of
from the pantheon of saints,
701
00:32:39,058 --> 00:32:40,592
or just the opposite.
702
00:32:40,626 --> 00:32:43,329
You tear down this one.
That one is for slaves
703
00:32:43,362 --> 00:32:47,633
This one is problematic
for this reason or that reason.
704
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:51,437
I think "Hamilton" is presented
705
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:54,240
this character
in three terms dimension
706
00:32:54,273 --> 00:32:58,610
and in recognizable
contemporary terms
707
00:32:58,644 --> 00:33:01,647
That's why I think a lot
young people like it.
708
00:33:02,248 --> 00:33:07,219
This reminds us that this country
hardly come together.
709
00:33:09,488 --> 00:33:12,558
There are thirteen
independent colonies
710
00:33:12,591 --> 00:33:17,463
who have different economies
different worldviews
711
00:33:18,264 --> 00:33:20,099
and that male
from the colony
712
00:33:20,132 --> 00:33:21,767
who came to place
this country together
713
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,635
represents that view
714
00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:26,572
it's often
in conflict with each other.
715
00:33:27,373 --> 00:33:30,276
There is no guarantee
that they will succeed
716
00:33:30,309 --> 00:33:34,613
in creating
United States.
717
00:33:35,414 --> 00:33:38,250
But "Hamilton" shows
in the end
718
00:33:39,151 --> 00:33:43,522
they rise above the difficult
disagreement,
719
00:33:44,356 --> 00:33:48,460
hate each other,
to create a country.
720
00:33:48,494 --> 00:33:51,697
Among history
the person who appeared in Hamilton
721
00:33:51,730 --> 00:33:55,467
is George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison,
722
00:33:55,501 --> 00:33:59,371
King George III
and Marquis de Lafayette. p >
723
00:33:59,405 --> 00:34:01,840
This is the least known
Aaron Burr, however,
724
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:03,375
who took the stage
725
00:34:03,409 --> 00:34:06,345
as former Vice President of
from the United States
726
00:34:06,378 --> 00:34:09,681
and key characters
in the "Hamilton" narrative.
727
00:34:09,715 --> 00:34:11,450
I think the core of the dramatic
of "Hamilton" is
728
00:34:11,483 --> 00:34:14,420
Hamilton's relationship
for Aaron Burr
729
00:34:14,453 --> 00:34:17,323
Previously
a controversial relationship.
730
00:34:17,356 --> 00:34:21,527
He came to Aaron Burr at first
to mentor
731
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,262
They have
a lifelong relationship p >
732
00:34:23,295 --> 00:34:25,631
and then Aaron Burr
finally killed him
733
00:34:25,664 --> 00:34:29,568
I think that's the point
of the whole show
734
00:34:29,601 --> 00:34:32,171
I think it's all about
Masa little Aaron Burr.
735
00:34:32,204 --> 00:34:35,241
He lost his mother
very early.
736
00:34:35,274 --> 00:34:38,777
I think it made Aaron Burr
be a proud person,
737
00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:43,882
a man who is not safe,
and someone who is looking for
738
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,118
his parents figure
his whole life
739
00:34:46,152 --> 00:34:47,453
and did not find him.
740
00:34:47,486 --> 00:34:49,655
He too not
as happily married
741
00:34:49,688 --> 00:34:51,490
like Alexander Hamilton.
742
00:34:52,358 --> 00:34:55,227
Aaron Burr
and Alexander Hamilton met
743
00:34:55,261 --> 00:34:58,730
while they were both aides
to George Washington
744
00:34:58,764 --> 00:35:00,699
Both men
in the early 20s.
745
00:35:00,732 --> 00:35:03,469
Politically
they have the same view.
746
00:35:03,502 --> 00:35:06,372
Both are federalists.
747
00:35:06,405 --> 00:35:09,808
But anyway, they don't do it
like each other personally.
748
00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:12,544
In some ways
they are too similar
749
00:35:12,578 --> 00:35:16,515
Burr is even more arrogant < br /> from Hamilton
750
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:18,884
and somehow
they just don't get along.
751
00:35:18,917 --> 00:35:20,719
Bitterness
between Aaron Burr
752
00:35:20,752 --> 00:35:25,657
and Alexander Hamilton < br /> back to 1791
753
00:35:25,691 --> 00:35:29,361
when Hamilton's father-in-law,
Philip Schuyler,
754
00:35:29,395 --> 00:35:34,266
released in the Senate
by Aaron Burr
755
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:37,503
So he didn't care
for Aaron Burr for a long time.
756
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:41,707
Then in 1800, when there was a
an election university tie,
757
00:35:41,740 --> 00:35:45,477
Hamilton worked
Behind the scenes to see that
758
00:35:45,511 --> 00:35:48,180
tie between Burr
and Jefferson is broken
759
00:35:48,214 --> 00:35:49,781
with Jefferson
being President
760
00:35:49,815 --> 00:35:51,883
Even though
he's not Jefferson's stomach,
761
00:35:51,917 --> 00:35:54,253
he likes him more than Burr.
762
00:35:54,286 --> 00:35:55,921
He really calls him
dangerous people
763
00:35:55,954 --> 00:35:57,656
who is
government control
764
00:35:57,689 --> 00:35:59,325
don't entrusted.
765
00:35:59,358 --> 00:36:02,761
Burr and Hamilton got engaged
In, I would argue,
766
00:36:02,794 --> 00:36:04,863
the late 18th century version of hip-hop
767
00:36:04,896 --> 00:36:07,299
is being write essays.
768
00:36:07,333 --> 00:36:09,368
That's the duel of their words.
769
00:36:09,401 --> 00:36:12,571
It's been going on
for a long time.
770
00:36:12,604 --> 00:36:14,473
That is a weapon today.
771
00:36:14,506 --> 00:36:16,942
They understand that.
They use pseudonyms.
772
00:36:16,975 --> 00:36:18,744
They don't use it
their real names
773
00:36:18,777 --> 00:36:21,413
They have another newspaper < br /> on their side
774
00:36:21,447 --> 00:36:26,452
That is a war of words,
a play on words.
775
00:36:26,485 --> 00:36:28,520
Bad blood between pairs
776
00:36:28,554 --> 00:36:30,722
finally reached
the conclusions are deadly p >
777
00:36:30,756 --> 00:36:32,924
in the summer of 1804
778
00:36:32,958 --> 00:36:35,927
when Burr challenged Hamilton
for the duel
779
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:39,665
The Lin-Manuel match peaked
in a dramatic re-performance
780
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:41,800
gun at dawn
on the west bank
781
00:36:41,833 --> 00:36:43,935
from the Hudson river
in New Jersey,
782
00:36:43,969 --> 00:36:49,241
where Alexander Hamilton
shot fatally, aged 47 years. P>
783
00:36:49,275 --> 00:36:53,779
The duel between
Burr and Hamilton
784
00:36:53,812 --> 00:36:57,549
is the peak of
from correspondence
785
00:36:57,583 --> 00:36:59,285
where it will not reverse. P>
786
00:36:59,318 --> 00:37:01,953
Burr wants
a confession or denial
787
00:37:01,987 --> 00:37:03,955
that he said
a disgraceful thing about him.
788
00:37:03,989 --> 00:37:06,892
Hamilton refused
to admit anything
789
00:37:06,925 --> 00:37:08,527
unless he is more specific.
790
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,296
It's a dead end
791
00:37:10,329 --> 00:37:12,664
to where it's become
a battle of pride
792
00:37:12,698 --> 00:37:15,534
When he says,
"I challenge you to duel,"
793
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:17,869
Hamilton agrees.
794
00:37:17,903 --> 00:37:21,273
Hamilton could have ended it
by just saying,
795
00:37:22,007 --> 00:37:23,842
"If I have said anything
to offend you,
796
00:37:23,875 --> 00:37:27,012
"It's not intentional."
It will work.
797
00:37:27,045 --> 00:37:30,416
Hamilton does have it
a hatred of dueling.
798
00:37:30,449 --> 00:37:33,452
He suggested < br /> it's really uncivilized,
799
00:37:33,485 --> 00:37:36,422
he's against it,
but his pride is on the line.
800
00:37:36,455 --> 00:37:39,925
Hamilton wrote a long list
of the pros and cons
801
00:37:40,926 --> 00:37:43,495
Then he continues.
802
00:37:43,529 --> 00:37:45,431
I think he knows
he will die
803
00:37:45,464 --> 00:37:49,568
I don't think Burr gave it
as much as Hamilton thought .
804
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:54,340
I also think that Hamilton
wants to miss the shot
805
00:37:54,373 --> 00:37:55,907
No burrs.
806
00:37:55,941 --> 00:37:59,077
The tradition at that time was
when you fired your first shot, p >
807
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:02,047
if your message is,
"I don't mean to fire you,"
808
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,915
You shoot directly
into the ground.
809
00:38:03,949 --> 00:38:07,853
Hamilton, according to all ,
may have been accidentally fired
810
00:38:07,886 --> 00:38:09,555
He shot into the air
811
00:38:09,588 --> 00:38:11,857
and it entered a tree
behind Burr.
812
00:38:11,890 --> 00:38:14,693
He turned
and shot Hamilton. P>
813
00:38:14,726 --> 00:38:15,894
This is also possible
814
00:38:15,927 --> 00:38:17,696
he didn't try
to hit Hamilton
815
00:38:17,729 --> 00:38:20,899
Maybe he
intend to miss
816
00:38:20,932 --> 00:38:22,868
But the gun at that time
817
00:38:22,901 --> 00:38:25,504
often goes away
from their target
818
00:38:25,537 --> 00:38:27,439
As good as
their deadly meeting p >
819
00:38:27,473 --> 00:38:29,040
on the edge of Hudson,
820
00:38:29,074 --> 00:38:32,478
the drama illustrates the refusal of Burr
to help Hamilton
821
00:38:32,511 --> 00:38:34,946
in his preparation
from the Federalist Papers,
822
00:38:34,980 --> 00:38:38,450
and introduces audiences
to some central ideas
823
00:38:38,484 --> 00:38:41,387
in Hamilton
political philosophy.
824
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:44,490
Federalist papers
are a series of essays
825
00:38:44,523 --> 00:38:49,528
that Alexander Hamilton
and James Madison wrote together
826
00:38:49,561 --> 00:38:54,065
to persuade Americans
to ratify the constitution,
827
00:38:54,099 --> 00:38:56,402
to understand the constitution,
828
00:38:56,435 --> 00:39:00,472
to understand why
is needed to be a separation of powers ,
829
00:39:00,506 --> 00:39:02,974
why is the republic the only way
830
00:39:03,008 --> 00:39:06,445
a country can survive
it won't be a monarchy,
831
00:39:06,478 --> 00:39:09,748
why do we need
a representative house
832
00:39:09,781 --> 00:39:13,852
popularly chosen,
But why do we also need a senator,
833
00:39:13,885 --> 00:39:15,721
who wants
at least at that time,
834
00:39:15,754 --> 00:39:17,623
is not popularly chosen,
835
00:39:17,656 --> 00:39:21,693
836
00:39:21,727 --> 00:39:25,030
why do we need
to have limited executive,
837
00:39:25,063 --> 00:39:27,999
why do we need
to have a treasury,
838
00:39:28,033 --> 00:39:31,537
why should we have
a bill of final rights.
839
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:34,806
If you really think about it
that era and consider that
840
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,975
some of the biggest thoughts
of our time
841
00:39:37,008 --> 00:39:39,511
happen to live
and in the same room
842
00:39:39,545 --> 00:39:43,114
to make these things happen
is an interesting story
843
00:39:43,148 --> 00:39:45,817
and Hamilton himself
are visionaries
844
00:39:45,851 --> 00:39:49,154
whose ideas
from
845
00:39:49,187 --> 00:39:52,458
industrial culture and changing a country
becoming a superpower
846
00:39:52,491 --> 00:39:54,493
is a winning vision.
847
00:39:54,526 --> 00:39:57,696
Itu membuatnya
semua lebih menarik
848
00:39:57,729 --> 00:40:00,732
and that's the format
that allows us
849
00:40:00,766 --> 00:40:03,068
to see other people
around it
850
00:40:03,101 --> 00:40:04,803
and how this might be.
851
00:40:04,836 --> 00:40:07,939
Themes this is
further illustrated in the show
852
00:40:07,973 --> 00:40:09,441
with Hamilton's relationship
853
00:40:09,475 --> 00:40:12,644
with Thomas Jefferson
and James Madison,
854
00:40:12,678 --> 00:40:15,681
played by Daveed Diggs
and Okieriete Onaodowan,
855
00:40:15,714 --> 00:40:19,084
who set the competition
the vision that the trio has
856
00:40:19,117 --> 00:40:21,820
for the future of the United States.
857
00:40:21,853 --> 00:40:24,856
Hamilton Relations
to Jefferson and Madison
858
00:40:24,890 --> 00:40:27,125
is one of contemporaries.
859
00:40:27,158 --> 00:40:29,661
It all started
as a federalist,
860
00:40:29,695 --> 00:40:31,497
believe in
a central government
861
00:40:31,530 --> 00:40:33,164
but deviate
in terms of how strong
862
00:40:33,198 --> 00:40:35,066
that the central government
should
863
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,536
If there is personal hostility,
864
00:40:37,569 --> 00:40:39,871
it's based
in their political ideology.
865
00:40:39,905 --> 00:40:41,840
Where they drift apart
the most
866
00:40:41,873 --> 00:40:45,644
At Hamilton's insistence
at the national bank
867
00:40:45,677 --> 00:40:48,079
and tie ourselves
for the benefit of big money,
868
00:40:48,113 --> 00:40:51,650
where Madison and Jefferson
sincerely believe
869
00:40:51,683 --> 00:40:53,752
that we should
an agrarian society
870
00:40:53,785 --> 00:40:56,655
and not bound
to European banks
871
00:40:56,688 --> 00:40:59,758
Madison and Jefferson
both believe
872
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:01,927
needed
thousand years
873
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,229
to complete this country
East to west.
874
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:09,901
I think Hamilton understands
somehow somehow
875
00:41:09,935 --> 00:41:12,538
will happen
much faster than this
876
00:41:12,571 --> 00:41:14,973
and that country needs
to make preparations
877
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:18,510
to grow,
to increase trade,
878
00:41:18,544 --> 00:41:22,047
to increase competition
with other countries
879
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,550
and for agreements
with other countries.
880
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:26,818
Finally, musical exploration
881
00:41:26,852 --> 00:41:28,620
Life personal Hamilton,
882
00:41:28,654 --> 00:41:32,223
his marriage to a rich person
Elizabeth Schuyler in 1780,
883
00:41:32,257 --> 00:41:35,226
his extra-marital affairs
with Maria Reynolds
884
00:41:35,260 --> 00:41:37,863
and tragic death
his oldest son Phillip,
885
00:41:37,896 --> 00:41:39,898
who was seriously injured
in a duel,
886
00:41:39,931 --> 00:41:41,733
in a grim forecast
destiny
887
00:41:41,767 --> 00:41:44,002
that later
happened to Alexander
888
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:47,172
This is Elizabeth Schuyler,
However, who took the stage
889
00:41:47,205 --> 00:41:48,940
in Hamilton's narration
890
00:41:48,974 --> 00:41:51,142
and he was introduced
at the beginning of the show
891
00:41:51,176 --> 00:41:54,913
cheerfully,
celebration number "The Schuyler Sisters".
892
00:41:54,946 --> 00:41:57,148
- Work work!
- Angelica!
893
00:41:57,182 --> 00:41:59,651
- Work work!
- Eliza!
894
00:41:59,685 --> 00:42:00,919
- And Peggy!
- Work work!
895
00:42:00,952 --> 00:42:02,888
- Sister Schuyler!
- Angelica!
896
00:42:02,921 --> 00:42:04,155
- Peggy!
- Eliza!
897
00:42:04,189 --> 00:42:05,323
Work!
898
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:07,693
Daddy says come home
with the sun set
899
00:42:07,726 --> 00:42:09,961
Daddy doesn't need to know
900
00:42:09,995 --> 00:42:12,230
Father said
don't go to downtown
901
00:42:12,263 --> 00:42:14,265
Like I said,
you are free to go
902
00:42:14,299 --> 00:42:16,768
But - look around, look around
903
00:42:16,802 --> 00:42:20,606
Revolution is happening
in New York
904
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:22,908
- New York
- Angelica
905
00:42:22,941 --> 00:42:27,312
He is really handsome,
A great writer, good speaker p >
906
00:42:27,345 --> 00:42:29,748
and very charming, apparently
907
00:42:29,781 --> 00:42:33,585
who met at the woman
she finally married, Eliza,
908
00:42:34,352 --> 00:42:37,656
the right woman
he explained
909
00:42:37,689 --> 00:42:40,025
about a year,
one and a half years before.
910
00:42:40,058 --> 00:42:42,594
She's this amazing woman
911
00:42:42,628 --> 00:42:45,163
who can't love him
again.
912
00:42:45,196 --> 00:42:46,965
I think it's very appropriate
913
00:42:46,998 --> 00:42:51,269
that music starts with him
and ends with him.
914
00:42:51,970 --> 00:42:53,805
In the description of "warts and all"
915
00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:55,674
The life of Alexander Hamilton,
916
00:42:55,707 --> 00:42:57,809
the game presents
a three-dimensional display
917
00:42:57,843 --> 00:42:59,177
of the founders,
918
00:42:59,210 --> 00:43:01,212
who aren't afraid
to show them
919
00:43:01,246 --> 00:43:03,214
as a disabled person.
920
00:43:03,248 --> 00:43:06,017
Hamilton biographer
Ron Chernow describes it
921
00:43:06,051 --> 00:43:07,786
as & apos; history for adults & apos;.
922
00:43:07,819 --> 00:43:09,287
We think of it
our founding father
923
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,289
like these numbers
on Mount Rushmore. p >
924
00:43:11,322 --> 00:43:13,091
They are made of granite.
925
00:43:13,124 --> 00:43:15,226
Lin makes them flesh and blood.
He makes them human.
926
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:17,763
You see a fight,
quarrel.
927
00:43:17,796 --> 00:43:21,266
You see dirty politics
compromises that they have to make.
928
00:43:21,299 --> 00:43:23,001
You see ambitions burning,
929
00:43:23,034 --> 00:43:25,937
hatred between
Burrs and Hamilton. p >
930
00:43:25,971 --> 00:43:27,272
You look jealous of that
931
00:43:27,305 --> 00:43:29,941
Burr
has for Hamilton's success,
932
00:43:29,975 --> 00:43:32,811
Hamilton beat him
at every turn.
933
00:43:32,844 --> 00:43:34,880
I think approaching history
on the one hand
934
00:43:34,913 --> 00:43:38,316
it doesn't deify
the founding father
935
00:43:38,349 --> 00:43:41,687
makes the character
all the more interesting
936
00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:44,089
Historians don't always do that. P>
937
00:43:44,122 --> 00:43:47,292
They tend to do mythology
Thomas Jefferson
938
00:43:47,325 --> 00:43:50,295
and suggest, for example,
it's never in its character
939
00:43:50,328 --> 00:43:52,798
to have children
with a slave
940
00:43:52,831 --> 00:43:54,232
If you see evidence,
941
00:43:54,265 --> 00:43:57,002
it is very supportive
otherwise.
942
00:43:57,035 --> 00:43:58,303
That is the problem is
that's actually
943
00:43:58,336 --> 00:44:01,072
Make the characters real.
944
00:44:01,106 --> 00:44:03,742
I think those are
things we identified
945
00:44:03,775 --> 00:44:05,844
When you deify someone,
they become interesting
946
00:44:05,877 --> 00:44:07,913
as a statue of
that we stand up to them
947
00:44:07,946 --> 00:44:11,349
as opposed to
deficiencies that really make someone become human.
948
00:44:11,382 --> 00:44:13,218
I think that
what connects people,
949
00:44:13,251 --> 00:44:15,120
humanity
950
00:44:15,153 --> 00:44:18,790
I think people
see themselves
951
00:44:19,424 --> 00:44:21,927
and how flawed these people are
952
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,063
and that gives them hope
because of the beautiful thing
953
00:44:25,096 --> 00:44:26,965
these people
can still be achieved
954
00:44:26,998 --> 00:44:28,266
even with their shortcomings.
955
00:44:28,299 --> 00:44:31,737
This is a show about a politician
956
00:44:31,770 --> 00:44:33,705
It's also about policy.
957
00:44:33,739 --> 00:44:36,407
There is an extraordinary
amount of material
958
00:44:36,441 --> 00:44:39,177
about banking policy,
959
00:44:39,210 --> 00:44:42,080
about dealing with
with the French Revolution,
960
00:44:42,113 --> 00:44:43,481
about slaves who have.
961
00:44:43,514 --> 00:44:46,351
This is unique in musical theater,
as far as I know, p >
962
00:44:46,384 --> 00:44:48,253
with one exception,
963
00:44:48,286 --> 00:44:51,857
in dealing with
policy questions
964
00:44:51,890 --> 00:44:55,293
it animates politicians
we pay attention to
965
00:44:55,326 --> 00:44:58,129
But in taking it like that
an approach to the subject,
966
00:44:58,163 --> 00:45:00,131
"Hamilton" inevitably
opened a debate
967
00:45:00,165 --> 00:45:01,767
about historical accuracy,
968
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,903
with some noted critics
which shows side-steps
969
00:45:04,936 --> 00:45:07,338
some of the more uncomfortable
time questions,
970
00:45:07,372 --> 00:45:09,274
specifically, attitude
971
00:45:09,307 --> 00:45:12,844
from the main protagonist
towards slavery
972
00:45:12,878 --> 00:45:14,980
One of the interesting things
about "Hamilton"
973
00:45:15,013 --> 00:45:18,116
is the
conversation about American history
974
00:45:18,149 --> 00:45:19,918
is provoked
975
00:45:19,951 --> 00:45:23,088
There are feelings
where people argue.
976
00:45:23,121 --> 00:45:25,924
That is Hamilton
as against slavery
977
00:45:25,957 --> 00:45:28,226
as described by the drama.
978
00:45:28,259 --> 00:45:30,461
The Schuyler family
that he is married,
979
00:45:30,495 --> 00:45:32,397
they are slave holders
980
00:45:32,430 --> 00:45:36,935
What is Hamilton's attitude?
about immigrants, for example?
981
00:45:36,968 --> 00:45:39,137
People have fought over it. P>
982
00:45:39,170 --> 00:45:41,372
All of these questions
have come
983
00:45:41,406 --> 00:45:45,210
Most of the criticism
from the game
984
00:45:45,243 --> 00:45:47,378
has become a kind of debate
985
00:45:47,412 --> 00:45:50,982
Is this an accurate description?
Is that a fair description?
986
00:45:51,016 --> 00:45:53,151
What is the cut angle?
987
00:45:53,184 --> 00:45:54,986
You could say that
of whatever
988
00:45:55,020 --> 00:45:57,022
is based on
on a historical event,
989
00:45:57,055 --> 00:45:59,324
which should be
a balanced approach.
990
00:45:59,357 --> 00:46:02,828
I don't think it's balanced
so much as saying...
991
00:46:02,861 --> 00:46:05,931
This is a story that has two sides
to the same coin
992
00:46:05,964 --> 00:46:08,033
In the example ,
the contradiction
993
00:46:08,066 --> 00:46:11,837
being a man made yourself
coming from zero,
994
00:46:11,870 --> 00:46:14,405
but his vision
for the greatness of America
995
00:46:14,439 --> 00:46:18,176
Being in an elitist decision. P>
996
00:46:18,209 --> 00:46:22,380
I think they go hand in hand,
and not to check one
997
00:46:22,413 --> 00:46:25,851
is to leave something
998
00:46:25,884 --> 00:46:27,552
which I think is an integral
for the character
999
00:46:27,585 --> 00:46:29,154
and the story.
1000
00:46:29,187 --> 00:46:31,556
Even so,
what's accurate
1001
00:46:31,589 --> 00:46:33,825
Hamilton's most obvious break
1002
00:46:33,859 --> 00:46:35,460
with historical accuracy
1003
00:46:35,493 --> 00:46:38,396
is made up
multi ethnic players.
1004
00:46:38,429 --> 00:46:41,933
With almost all parts
played by color actors,
1005
00:46:41,967 --> 00:46:45,036
Hamilton presented it
a bold statement about diversity
1006
00:46:45,070 --> 00:46:47,405
and its nature
from contemporary America.
1007
00:46:47,438 --> 00:46:51,109
I think the statement is:
1008
00:46:51,142 --> 00:46:55,947
"This is our history too.
We are here." You know? P>
1009
00:46:55,981 --> 00:46:58,383
And we can play this role
1010
00:46:58,416 --> 00:47:01,519
and we can make it our story. P>
1011
00:47:01,552 --> 00:47:04,289
That's how it turned out
this convention
1012
00:47:04,322 --> 00:47:05,590
of what America is
1013
00:47:05,623 --> 00:47:08,226
Some of my favorite images
1014
00:47:08,259 --> 00:47:10,295
are stung
to my brain like
1015
00:47:10,328 --> 00:47:12,630
when you see,
to bring it to music,
1016
00:47:12,663 --> 00:47:15,600
Frank Ocean, the singer.
1017
00:47:15,633 --> 00:47:18,369
He wears an American flag
as a bandana
1018
00:47:18,403 --> 00:47:21,873
or OutKast and they will have
a flag behind them
1019
00:47:21,907 --> 00:47:24,375
This is extraordinarily strong.
1020
00:47:24,409 --> 00:47:27,378
You took it in the
foundation from this country
1021
00:47:27,412 --> 00:47:30,115
with the actual idea
from what the country is
1022
00:47:30,148 --> 00:47:31,883
Now people see that,
1023
00:47:31,917 --> 00:47:35,020
and this is the trace
it will happen
1024
00:47:35,053 --> 00:47:38,623
permanent notes
for many young people.
1025
00:47:38,656 --> 00:47:40,558
When do you
watch on stage
1026
00:47:40,591 --> 00:47:42,994
after one minute
It makes no difference.
1027
00:47:43,028 --> 00:47:45,997
This is the person
who is James Madison
1028
00:47:46,031 --> 00:47:48,033
This is what
is Thomas Jefferson
1029
00:47:48,066 --> 00:47:51,536
You don't think:
why is Thomas Jefferson black?
1030
00:47:52,570 --> 00:47:55,206
Amazing theater like that.
1031
00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:57,275
Broadway for a long time
1032
00:47:57,308 --> 00:47:58,977
called Jalan Putih Besar.
1033
00:47:59,010 --> 00:48:01,947
Then it became a kind of
disparaging comments
1034
00:48:01,980 --> 00:48:06,918
because of the show
by big and white
1035
00:48:06,952 --> 00:48:10,188
and audience
certainly white.
1036
00:48:10,221 --> 00:48:13,158
But when I was young
/> more interested in Broadway
1037
00:48:13,191 --> 00:48:15,093
Since the success of "Rent",
1038
00:48:16,061 --> 00:48:17,562
They are not all white children.
1039
00:48:17,595 --> 00:48:22,167
And they bring new
sounds and new music
1040
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,202
to the
form of musical theater p >
1041
00:48:24,235 --> 00:48:26,604
which I think is good
and healthy in the long run.
1042
00:48:26,637 --> 00:48:31,276
I think "Hamilton"
is a show that says
1043
00:48:31,309 --> 00:48:33,144
doesn't matter
what color you are
1044
00:48:33,178 --> 00:48:35,981
or your background
or your ethnicity.
1045
00:48:36,014 --> 00:48:39,084
Musical theater
is an artform
1046
00:48:39,117 --> 00:48:43,288
that you can develop,
that you should be interested in.
1047
00:48:43,321 --> 00:48:46,124
There are so many exceptions
In the theater
1048
00:48:46,157 --> 00:48:49,961
where color people
are generally only able
1049
00:48:49,995 --> 00:48:52,263
to tell certain stories
1050
00:48:52,297 --> 00:48:54,265
and say certain things
on Broadway.
1051
00:48:54,299 --> 00:48:58,003
Their involvement in Broadway
is very limited p >
1052
00:48:58,036 --> 00:48:59,570
and is very limited.
1053
00:48:59,604 --> 00:49:04,542
Saying not just any story
but a founding story
1054
00:49:04,575 --> 00:49:06,978
of the
narrative of American life
1055
00:49:07,012 --> 00:49:08,479
has some kind of
meta relevance.
1056
00:49:08,513 --> 00:49:12,417
This is the comment itself
on its role
1057
00:49:12,450 --> 00:49:14,685
from people who are colored
in this country.
1058
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,089
I have received e-mail
from film executives
1059
00:49:18,123 --> 00:49:20,591
who said, "You really have made me
think about casting again
1060
00:49:20,625 --> 00:49:24,629
" this project or project
because I saw what...
1061
00:49:26,097 --> 00:49:29,000
"... very talented,
various faces
1062
00:49:29,034 --> 00:49:30,668
" Can do it for an audience. "
1063
00:49:35,406 --> 00:49:38,076
Very beautiful.
That's an amazing thing. P>
1064
00:49:38,109 --> 00:49:41,146
This is a wonderful feeling
to have such an impact. P>
1065
00:49:41,179 --> 00:49:44,282
If something is good
That success resonates.
1066
00:49:44,315 --> 00:49:46,651
That's part of it
from the joy people feel.
1067
00:49:46,684 --> 00:49:48,653
Who is this
amazing player
1068
00:49:48,686 --> 00:49:50,621
Why not?
Have we seen them before?
1069
00:49:50,655 --> 00:49:53,658
Oh, because there's nothing
to see them enter
1070
00:49:53,691 --> 00:49:56,694
And Hamilton proved
to be the perfect platform
1071
00:49:56,727 --> 00:50:00,031
for a new generation of actors
to show their talent.
1072
00:50:00,065 --> 00:50:03,301
A number of prominent performances
got drama cast
1073
00:50:03,334 --> 00:50:05,670
a total of seven
Tony nominations,
1074
00:50:05,703 --> 00:50:09,740
with Lin-Manuel Miranda,
Leslie Odom Jnr, Philippa Soo,
1075
00:50:09,774 --> 00:50:13,278
Daveed Diggs, Jonathan Groff,
Christopher Jackson
1076
00:50:13,311 --> 00:50:17,182
and Renée Elise Goldsberry
all are recognized for their work.
1077
00:50:17,215 --> 00:50:19,384
I think Lin -Manuel Miranda
good
1078
00:50:19,417 --> 00:50:21,352
in his role as Hamilton. P>
1079
00:50:21,386 --> 00:50:24,322
In a certain sense,
he tells his own story. P>
1080
00:50:25,290 --> 00:50:27,692
I feel like
he is very much identified
1081
00:50:27,725 --> 00:50:30,495
with
characters he created
1082
00:50:30,528 --> 00:50:34,532
and Daveed Diggs who played
Lafayette and Jefferson.
1083
00:50:35,533 --> 00:50:38,336
Just moved
between the two roles
1084
00:50:38,369 --> 00:50:40,538
is very fun
1085
00:50:40,571 --> 00:50:43,541
and interesting
and interesting to watch.
1086
00:50:43,574 --> 00:50:46,311
Getting the role of
where I get
1087
00:50:46,344 --> 00:50:48,313
for take these
things I learned
1088
00:50:48,346 --> 00:50:51,549
from just trying to take a walk
like my dad walking around
1089
00:50:51,582 --> 00:50:54,752
has been so big
I don't know
1090
00:50:54,785 --> 00:50:57,188
And Thomas Jefferson!
1091
00:50:57,222 --> 00:51:00,191
It's impossible
it must be real,
1092
00:51:00,225 --> 00:51:04,729
that I have to read the lines
written for Thomas Jefferson,
1093
00:51:04,762 --> 00:51:06,531
Be like,
"Yeah, that's my father."
1094
00:51:07,832 --> 00:51:09,834
Except maybe
it's too real
1095
00:51:11,469 --> 00:51:17,542
But, this is very good.
This is very fun.
1096
00:51:17,575 --> 00:51:19,844
One of the big things
about this process
1097
00:51:19,877 --> 00:51:22,747
is how much of ourselves
we were asked to bring it there
1098
00:51:22,780 --> 00:51:25,616
and how it made sense
That keeps making it to do that.
1099
00:51:25,650 --> 00:51:28,419
I think the actual star
from the show
1100
00:51:28,453 --> 00:51:31,156
in terms of acting
is Leslie Odom Jnr.
1101
00:51:31,189 --> 00:51:36,261
Lin is of course a talented man.
He created the show.
1102
00:51:36,294 --> 00:51:39,364
But he's the weakest
player of all of them
1103
00:51:39,397 --> 00:51:42,200
because he's not
class actor
1104
00:51:42,233 --> 00:51:44,335
And Leslie Odom < br /> very charismatic
1105
00:51:44,369 --> 00:51:46,537
and very interesting
like Aaron Burr.
1106
00:51:46,571 --> 00:51:49,674
And always better
to play villains
1107
00:51:49,707 --> 00:51:51,709
This is just juicier section.
1108
00:51:51,742 --> 00:51:54,845
And Leslie plays it
with ferocity and intensity
1109
00:51:54,879 --> 00:51:58,183
It's quite thrilling
when you see it
1110
00:51:58,216 --> 00:52:01,486
Especially at The Public Theater
He is at this level
1111
00:52:01,519 --> 00:52:04,255
and Lin still
wobbling around here
1112
00:52:04,289 --> 00:52:05,323
trying to find the character.
1113
00:52:05,356 --> 00:52:08,393
Listen, he's also writing
and fixing the show p >
1114
00:52:08,426 --> 00:52:10,261
so he has
some disturbances there.
1115
00:52:10,295 --> 00:52:13,831
But Leslie for me
is the real star of the show.
1116
00:52:13,864 --> 00:52:17,735
This show has some kind of...
1117
00:52:19,937 --> 00:52:23,208
... help me find
some directions,
1118
00:52:23,241 --> 00:52:25,176
find some more goals.
1119
00:52:25,210 --> 00:52:30,448
This is what I always feel
I really supposed to do it
1120
00:52:30,481 --> 00:52:33,551
but I've been waiting for
for Lin to write it down.
1121
00:52:34,652 --> 00:52:36,187
For me it's a combination
1122
00:52:36,221 --> 00:52:39,357
their quality is extraordinary
it's amazing
1123
00:52:39,390 --> 00:52:44,395
they can find
so many people
1124
00:52:44,429 --> 00:52:48,266
who can perform
Hard work is so brilliant.
1125
00:52:48,299 --> 00:52:51,869
And now with the second cast
and with the cast tour
1126
00:52:51,902 --> 00:52:55,773
it's not like they experienced
having trouble finding these people
1127
00:52:55,806 --> 00:52:58,776
They're waiting
for something to come
1128
00:52:59,910 --> 00:53:02,413
with which they can show
who they are.
1129
00:53:02,447 --> 00:53:03,714
That is for me.
1130
00:53:03,748 --> 00:53:07,218
Yes I love
Renée Elise Goldsberry
1131
00:53:07,252 --> 00:53:09,287
or Daveed Diggs.
1132
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:10,955
Every day maybe
different people
1133
00:53:10,988 --> 00:53:12,990
what does
depend on what I listen to
1134
00:53:13,023 --> 00:53:16,627
But all of that together
who did it for me
1135
00:53:17,328 --> 00:53:19,697
But like with
every musical theater work,
1136
00:53:19,730 --> 00:53:22,367
The star of the show
is the music itself.
1137
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,602
Even though it's billed
As a hip-hop musical,
1138
00:53:24,635 --> 00:53:27,238
score plays
moves beyond rap
1139
00:53:27,272 --> 00:53:29,507
to take in
series from other styles,
1140
00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:33,444
from the 1960s beat music
for traditional performance songs.
1141
00:53:33,478 --> 00:53:36,414
In its release
in September 2015,
1142
00:53:36,447 --> 00:53:39,750
original
cast recordings proved a big hit,
1143
00:53:39,784 --> 00:53:43,288
reached as high as numbers 3
on the Billboard chart
1144
00:53:43,321 --> 00:53:47,258
and won a Grammy Award
for the Best Musical Album.
1145
00:53:47,292 --> 00:53:49,327
One the beautiful thing
about Lin-Manuel Miranda
1146
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:53,298
is that he really reflects
the way we listen to music now.
1147
00:53:53,331 --> 00:53:55,433
We listen to every kind of music
1148
00:53:55,466 --> 00:53:58,603
so every type of music is useful
1149
00:53:58,636 --> 00:54:02,273
when you're writing
musical theater now
1150
00:54:02,307 --> 00:54:03,774
and nothing
a style of music
1151
00:54:03,808 --> 00:54:04,942
< this season alone.
1152
00:54:04,975 --> 00:54:07,445
There's country music,
hip-hop, classic
1153
00:54:07,478 --> 00:54:10,381
It's all there
It's all
relevant and everything important.
1154
00:54:10,415 --> 00:54:13,584
The most important thing
as a player you can do
1155
00:54:13,618 --> 00:54:15,720
really has confidence
1156
00:54:15,753 --> 00:54:19,357
to find out what it is
your voice is doing right
1157
00:54:19,390 --> 00:54:21,926
How do we know
that this plan will work?
1158
00:54:21,959 --> 00:54:24,061
We have spies inside
Right
1159
00:54:24,094 --> 00:54:25,696
Hercules Mulligan!
1160
00:54:25,730 --> 00:54:27,365
A spy tailor & apos;
to the British government!
1161
00:54:27,398 --> 00:54:28,899
I took their size,
information
1162
00:54:28,933 --> 00:54:30,368
Then I smuggled it p >
1163
00:54:30,401 --> 00:54:31,969
For my brother
revolutionary agreement
1164
00:54:32,002 --> 00:54:33,904
& m; m runni & apos;
with Sons of Liberty
1165
00:54:33,938 --> 00:54:35,906
And I love him!
Look, this what happened
1166
00:54:35,940 --> 00:54:37,775
When did you
fight the bastard
1167
00:54:37,808 --> 00:54:40,044
We're in bullshit now,
someone has to shovel it!
1168
00:54:40,077 --> 00:54:42,380
Hercules Mulligan, < br /> I don't need to be introduced
1169
00:54:42,413 --> 00:54:45,015
When you drop me
I come back again!
1170
00:54:47,952 --> 00:54:50,621
I think the music "Hamilton"
is very interesting
1171
00:54:50,655 --> 00:54:53,858
because that's right
clearly rooted in hip-hop
1172
00:54:53,891 --> 00:54:57,662
and some prominent ones
numbers displayed
1173
00:54:57,695 --> 00:55:00,698
are rap numbers,
1174
00:55:00,731 --> 00:55:03,368
There are many other
types of music displayed .
1175
00:55:03,401 --> 00:55:06,437
There is English pop music
from the 60s
1176
00:55:06,471 --> 00:55:08,606
There is R & apos; n & apos; B. P>
1177
00:55:08,639 --> 00:55:12,343
There is Andrew Lloyd Webber
The style of music in it. P>
1178
00:55:12,377 --> 00:55:13,711
So it's very diverse,
1179
00:55:13,744 --> 00:55:15,780
far more than I thought
it has been given credit for.
1180
00:55:15,813 --> 00:55:20,050
... looking at you
1181
00:55:20,084 --> 00:55:22,620
Whoa...
1182
00:55:23,521 --> 00:55:25,456
Whoa...
1183
00:55:26,123 --> 00:55:34,799
History has eyes to you
1184
00:55:37,702 --> 00:55:40,871
I think the introductory number
"Alexander Hamilton"
1185
00:55:40,905 --> 00:55:44,141
Probably the most striking
number displayed
1186
00:55:44,174 --> 00:55:46,944
because it introduces you
for larger themes,
1187
00:55:46,977 --> 00:55:48,579
main characters
1188
00:55:48,613 --> 00:55:52,550
And Lin-Manuel has this
1189
00:55:52,583 --> 00:55:55,586
where is the opening number
for the show,
1190
00:55:55,620 --> 00:55:58,589
like in "In the Heights",
The first show in 2008,
1191
00:55:58,623 --> 00:56:01,559
They provided
narrative encouragement p >
1192
00:56:01,592 --> 00:56:02,860
for the whole show,
1193
00:56:02,893 --> 00:56:04,862
they introduced all themes,
but they did it
1194
00:56:04,895 --> 00:56:06,897
with these amazing words.
1195
00:56:06,931 --> 00:56:08,699
I remember seeing it
on Broadway
1196
00:56:08,733 --> 00:56:10,435
and thinking, "Wow!"
1197
00:56:10,468 --> 00:56:16,006
Soaking stands at the end of
from the opening number
1198
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,042
is that galvanizing
and strong.
1199
00:56:18,709 --> 00:56:20,578
We fought with him
1200
00:56:20,611 --> 00:56:22,179
I?
I died for him
1201
00:56:22,212 --> 00:56:24,081
Me?
I trusted him
1202
00:56:24,114 --> 00:56:25,650
Me?
I love him
1203
00:56:25,683 --> 00:56:27,151
And me?
1204
00:56:27,184 --> 00:56:29,620
stupid bastard
who shot him
1205
00:56:30,555 --> 00:56:33,591
There are a million things
I haven't done it
1206
00:56:33,624 --> 00:56:37,127
But just wait!
1207
00:56:37,161 --> 00:56:41,031
- Alexander Hamilton!
1208
00:56:42,700 --> 00:56:45,002
His description
King George III in the drama
1209
00:56:45,035 --> 00:56:46,837
is just funny
1210
00:56:46,871 --> 00:56:48,873
because it works
on so many levels.
1211
00:56:48,906 --> 00:56:52,076
The music is very Beatlesque
1212
00:56:52,109 --> 00:56:53,811
which is a kind of thing
1213
00:56:53,844 --> 00:56:56,814
in English
and American things too.
1214
00:56:57,715 --> 00:57:01,452
This is kind of
on boomer culture
1215
00:57:01,486 --> 00:57:04,221
and this young
rebel culture
1216
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:07,124
There is a very passive
aggressive quality
1217
00:57:07,157 --> 00:57:10,461
for Jonathan Groff
in original production
1218
00:57:10,495 --> 00:57:13,063
in his appearance
as King George III.
1219
00:57:13,097 --> 00:57:15,800
He dressed up
like Elton John!
1220
00:57:15,833 --> 00:57:18,102
More traditional beautiful
musical theater number,
1221
00:57:18,135 --> 00:57:19,570
very melodic.
1222
00:57:19,604 --> 00:57:20,638
Lin has a melodic talent
1223
00:57:20,671 --> 00:57:22,873
that I didn't appreciate
the first time around.
1224
00:57:22,907 --> 00:57:25,109
It's very important.
You can't
have a musical theater song
1225
00:57:25,142 --> 00:57:27,211
without a melody line .
1226
00:57:27,244 --> 00:57:29,580
Sometimes hip-hop and rap -
1227
00:57:29,614 --> 00:57:31,248
melody lines
not so strong
1228
00:57:31,281 --> 00:57:33,083
So if you have that score
1229
00:57:33,117 --> 00:57:35,520
only one hip-hop rap
Some by one
1230
00:57:35,553 --> 00:57:37,922
I don't think that will happen
as successful as that.
1231
00:57:37,955 --> 00:57:40,591
He found a way to vary it.
1232
00:57:40,625 --> 00:57:43,761
I think songs like "The Room
Where It Happens" are very strong.
1233
00:57:43,794 --> 00:57:50,668
These are... songs that are slowly rising
1234
00:57:50,701 --> 00:57:55,172
ambition and jealousy
1235
00:57:55,205 --> 00:57:58,943
from Aaron Burr said,
"Why am I being left out?
1236
00:58:00,177 --> 00:58:02,913
" Why am I not the person?
made a decision?
1237
00:58:02,947 --> 00:58:04,248
"Why me not there?
1238
00:58:04,281 --> 00:58:06,651
"Currently large items
will drop? "
1239
00:58:06,684 --> 00:58:09,654
So this is very good
character number
1240
00:58:09,687 --> 00:58:10,688
because it really shows you
1241
00:58:10,721 --> 00:58:14,024
why does Aaron Burr come
hate Alexander Hamilton
1242
00:58:14,058 --> 00:58:17,261
because Hamilton
knocked him
1243
00:58:17,294 --> 00:58:19,664
And he had to go back
indoors
1244
00:58:19,697 --> 00:58:22,800
and the only way
was to kill Alexander Hamilton!
1245
00:58:22,833 --> 00:58:27,037
One very interesting
song is "My Shot"
1246
00:58:27,071 --> 00:58:29,707
where you really feel
that energy
1247
00:58:29,740 --> 00:58:33,043
from Alexander Hamilton
to make it. P>
1248
00:58:33,077 --> 00:58:37,281
And that
like an American theme
1249
00:58:37,314 --> 00:58:40,250
I didn't throw my shot
1250
00:58:40,284 --> 00:58:42,787
I didn't throw my shot
1251
00:58:42,820 --> 00:58:44,288
p>
1252
00:58:44,321 --> 00:58:45,823
Hey yo,
like my country
1253
00:58:45,856 --> 00:58:48,192
young,
fighting and hungry
1254
00:58:48,225 --> 00:58:50,895
And I'm not throwing it away
my shot p >
1255
00:58:50,928 --> 00:58:53,698
I didn't throw my shot
1256
00:58:53,731 --> 00:58:55,132
Hey yo,
like my country
1257
00:58:55,165 --> 00:58:57,001
young,
fighting and being hungry
1258
00:58:57,034 --> 00:58:59,269
And not throwing
away my shot
1259
00:58:59,303 --> 00:59:01,572
don't go
to release my shot
1260
00:59:01,606 --> 00:59:04,274
Here it is
We will do it.
1261
00:59:04,308 --> 00:59:07,812
In that sense...
1262
00:59:09,747 --> 00:59:11,315
... that level of confidence
1263
00:59:11,348 --> 00:59:13,951
is something
that really came through
1264
00:59:13,984 --> 00:59:20,891
in the game and the
link of this revolutionary musical
1265
00:59:20,925 --> 00:59:24,094
for very traditional themes
in American history
1266
00:59:24,128 --> 00:59:27,197
So even so
it violates certain prints,
1267
00:59:27,231 --> 00:59:29,233
it follows other people.
1268
00:59:29,266 --> 00:59:32,169
In carrying
"Hamilton" to live on stage,
1269
00:59:32,202 --> 00:59:35,105
Lin Manuel-Miranda
turned to his company friends
1270
00:59:35,139 --> 00:59:38,142
and often collaborators,
Thomas Hook. P>
1271
00:59:38,175 --> 00:59:40,678
Kail first met Miranda
while both of them were students
1272
00:59:40,711 --> 00:59:42,713
at Wesleyan in the late 90s.
1273
00:59:42,747 --> 00:59:46,617
He co-founded the hip-hop troupe
the Supreme Love Freestyle
1274
00:59:46,651 --> 00:59:48,686
and instrumental
in development p >
1275
00:59:48,719 --> 00:59:50,855
from "In The Heights",
what he directed
1276
00:59:50,888 --> 00:59:53,924
When Lin-Manuel had it
original idea for "Hamilton"
1277
00:59:53,958 --> 00:59:57,061
Fast hook entered to ship
as event director.
1278
00:59:57,094 --> 01:00:02,299
Lin wrote the first song in
2009 and June 2016.
1279
01:00:02,332 --> 01:00:06,270
So, it's seven years
your life you spend
1280
01:00:06,303 --> 01:00:10,641
try to take this little seed
and grow it,
1281
01:00:10,675 --> 01:00:12,743
not just a tree
but forest
1282
01:00:12,777 --> 01:00:15,212
That's really my job,
to try and create an environment
1283
01:00:15,245 --> 01:00:18,315
where the author can feel
fostered and supported
1284
01:00:18,348 --> 01:00:20,851
Then I tried adding
other seeds around it
1285
01:00:20,885 --> 01:00:21,886
and find someone else
1286
01:00:21,919 --> 01:00:24,254
to make me better
and to try to realize the show.
1287
01:00:24,288 --> 01:00:26,924
The direction
never blocks
1288
01:00:26,957 --> 01:00:31,862
Lin scores and Lin scripts.
1289
01:00:31,896 --> 01:00:35,265
He is not the director who put it
His thumbprint covers everything.
1290
01:00:35,299 --> 01:00:38,335
He understands that
the power of the show
1291
01:00:38,368 --> 01:00:42,907
is in music, the lyrics,
and story.
1292
01:00:43,774 --> 01:00:46,443
The direction is very skilled.
1293
01:00:46,476 --> 01:00:48,713
You don't go
From the show think,
1294
01:00:48,746 --> 01:00:51,782
"Wow, who is the director?
How great is the production! " P>
1295
01:00:51,816 --> 01:00:53,450
You go
From the show,
1296
01:00:53,483 --> 01:00:55,820
" Lin-Manuel Miranda
is a genius! " P>
1297
01:00:56,486 --> 01:00:58,689
And Tom understands that.
1298
01:00:58,723 --> 01:01:04,929
His job is to serve the Lin show.
1299
01:01:04,962 --> 01:01:07,898
The reality is
everyone on stage
1300
01:01:07,932 --> 01:01:08,899
and stage
in this company
1301
01:01:08,933 --> 01:01:11,836
is working on
the absolute peak of their game
1302
01:01:11,869 --> 01:01:16,106
and I think it's baseline
of everything
1303
01:01:16,140 --> 01:01:17,407
is trust and faith.
1304
01:01:17,441 --> 01:01:19,710
So that's why saying "no"
not too difficult
1305
01:01:19,744 --> 01:01:21,746
says "maybe"
not too difficult
1306
01:01:21,779 --> 01:01:23,247
and says "yes"
no too difficult
1307
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,383
The reality is sometimes
The best answer you can give
1308
01:01:26,416 --> 01:01:28,986
is "continue".
1309
01:01:29,019 --> 01:01:32,056
It's very rare
that I will do anything
1310
01:01:32,089 --> 01:01:35,760
it will prevent
anyone from...
1311
01:01:35,793 --> 01:01:37,962
... take the idea
and develop it fully.
1312
01:01:37,995 --> 01:01:41,498
My job is to create the
room where everyone knows
1313
01:01:41,531 --> 01:01:44,969
what they are asking to do,
what stories do we tell
1314
01:01:45,002 --> 01:01:48,205
and how we want to tell them.
So the reality is,
1315
01:01:48,238 --> 01:01:51,876
Lin and I arrived somewhere,
and Alex and Andy shared this,
1316
01:01:51,909 --> 01:01:53,377
the place is almost subliminal.
1317
01:01:53,410 --> 01:01:55,245
Sometimes he will chicken
his head ,
1318
01:01:55,279 --> 01:01:58,248
"I know, let me
go through things.
1319
01:01:58,282 --> 01:02:02,319
But the reality is that it is
safe space for all of us
1320
01:02:02,352 --> 01:02:04,188
This actor also knows
they are allowed
1321
01:02:04,221 --> 01:02:06,056
to stay somewhere
where they can roam. P>
1322
01:02:06,090 --> 01:02:08,192
We try to make
it's one another
1323
01:02:08,225 --> 01:02:10,460
He is not excessive.
1324
01:02:10,494 --> 01:02:13,530
He did not say,
"Okay, this is my shot,"
1325
01:02:13,563 --> 01:02:15,065
and then surpassed that. p >
1326
01:02:15,099 --> 01:02:18,002
The performance
really step back
1327
01:02:18,035 --> 01:02:19,503
if necessary,
1328
01:02:19,536 --> 01:02:21,405
more understanding
1329
01:02:21,438 --> 01:02:24,975
that's verbal information
it's complicated
1330
01:02:25,009 --> 01:02:27,978
and needs to be foremost
most of the time.
1331
01:02:28,012 --> 01:02:32,182
So he gives space
to the verbal component
1332
01:02:32,216 --> 01:02:34,051
which is a joy for the theater audience
1333
01:02:34,084 --> 01:02:37,021
who remembers when playing
Still about words.
1334
01:02:37,054 --> 01:02:39,323
Both the hook
and Miranda sank
1335
01:02:39,356 --> 01:02:41,225
in history
musical theater,
1336
01:02:41,258 --> 01:02:43,861
and even though "Hamilton"
has been repeated praised
1337
01:02:43,894 --> 01:02:45,229
for its authenticity,
1338
01:02:45,262 --> 01:02:47,264
the creator and director
has acknowledged
1339
01:02:47,297 --> 01:02:50,167
that a number of other programs
have important influences
1340
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:51,836
on their own production.
1341
01:02:51,869 --> 01:02:57,041
The expertise of Lin-Manuel
in this genre is only genius.
1342
01:02:57,074 --> 01:02:59,109
I will suggest
he can be very good p >
1343
01:02:59,143 --> 01:03:02,546
future
American musical theater
1344
01:03:02,579 --> 01:03:06,283
At the same time,
throughout his work,
1345
01:03:06,316 --> 01:03:08,185
even though it was so
involved in hip-hop ,
1346
01:03:08,218 --> 01:03:09,987
You see a Sondheim nod
1347
01:03:10,020 --> 01:03:14,424
in the density of the lyrics,
you see Hart and Hammerstein
1348
01:03:14,458 --> 01:03:17,527
and great composers
that they are influenced by.
1349
01:03:17,561 --> 01:03:19,864
There are several influences
on "Hamilton" -
1350
01:03:19,897 --> 01:03:23,367
Stephen Sondheim,
like Lin admitted,
1351
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,937
because Steve of course wrote,
music and lyrics,
1352
01:03:26,971 --> 01:03:31,842
but he also does adult shows.
1353
01:03:31,876 --> 01:03:33,911
He doesn't do musical fables,
1354
01:03:33,944 --> 01:03:36,280
he doesn't do
shows for weary entrepreneurs
1355
01:03:36,313 --> 01:03:39,249
He does it with Hal Prince,
challenging event -
1356
01:03:39,283 --> 01:03:41,852
"Company"
which is about marriage disputes,
1357
01:03:42,619 --> 01:03:45,489
"Follies" which are about aging,
1358
01:03:45,522 --> 01:03:48,425
and "Sweeney Todd" which
about murder and cannibalism!
1359
01:03:48,458 --> 01:03:49,994
Of course "Sweeney Todd"
1360
01:03:50,027 --> 01:03:52,562
in hugeness
from the central character,
1361
01:03:52,596 --> 01:03:55,432
and job ambitions.
1362
01:03:55,465 --> 01:03:59,169
Kander and Ebb's work -
"Chicago", "cabaret"
1363
01:03:59,203 --> 01:04:02,406
of course proven
as inspiration
1364
01:04:02,439 --> 01:04:05,876
for the emphasis
on thematic development.
1365
01:04:05,910 --> 01:04:08,345
"1776" is a very important show
It should not be ignored.
1366
01:04:08,378 --> 01:04:11,348
The show was written by Peter Stone
is a show that says it
1367
01:04:11,381 --> 01:04:14,919
the founding father
is not in the textbook,
1368
01:04:14,952 --> 01:04:17,121
They are not on Mount Rushmore.
1369
01:04:17,154 --> 01:04:19,589
They flesh and blood
vital human
1370
01:04:20,390 --> 01:04:24,161
I think without "1776",
1371
01:04:24,194 --> 01:04:26,463
I don't think Lin can do it
take off "Hamilton".
1372
01:04:26,496 --> 01:04:29,599
I will also say, aside from that
the usual name you hear -
1373
01:04:29,633 --> 01:04:31,601
Rogers and Hammerstein
of course there is. P>
1374
01:04:31,635 --> 01:04:34,304
He quotes them subtly < br /> and joked a lot -
1375
01:04:34,338 --> 01:04:36,306
"Superstar of Jesus Christ",
1376
01:04:36,340 --> 01:04:39,143
but I think you can't forget
Gilbert and Sullivan -
1377
01:04:39,176 --> 01:04:42,546
the last real example
from that level
1378
01:04:42,579 --> 01:04:45,215
verbal intelligence
in musical theater.
1379
01:04:45,249 --> 01:04:47,017
I think Lin will say it
1380
01:04:47,051 --> 01:04:50,054
that the deepest influence
on him is "Rent".
1381
01:04:50,487 --> 01:04:54,458
You don't have music
that speaks to young people
1382
01:04:54,410 --> 10:10:52,627
through their struggles
in the 90s
1383
01:04:57,661 --> 01:04:59,529
and that's called "Rent "-
1384
01:04:59,563 --> 01:05:03,067
artists fought badly
lived in New York City
1385
01:05:03,100 --> 01:05:06,603
when many of them
were killed by AIDS,
1386
01:05:08,238 --> 01:05:10,274
and indeed so
rock and roll scores
1387
01:05:11,541 --> 01:05:14,178
So suddenly feel...
1388
01:05:15,645 --> 01:05:19,616
... contemporary, and it brings
young people to the cinema p >
1389
01:05:19,649 --> 01:05:21,051
This brings generation
1390
01:05:21,085 --> 01:05:23,087
that will be
Lin-Manuel Mirandas
1392
01:05:26,190 --> 01:05:27,524
because of "Rent".
1393
01:05:27,557 --> 01:05:29,226
Among what he calls
1394
01:05:29,259 --> 01:05:31,195
& apos; grandparents & apos;
from "Hamilton",
1395
01:05:31,228 --> 01:05:34,331
Thomas Kail is registered
both "Sweeney Todd" and "Evita"
1396
01:05:34,364 --> 01:05:36,733
as two productions
which have a clear impact
1397
01:05:36,766 --> 01:05:38,969
on show performances. P>
1398
01:05:39,003 --> 01:05:43,040
I think Hal Prince
staging of "Sweeney Todd"
1399
01:05:43,073 --> 01:05:45,442
is very important
for "Hamilton"
1400
01:05:45,475 --> 01:05:48,312
because it's on a large scale p >
1401
01:05:48,345 --> 01:05:51,681
with many people who are
moving.
1402
01:05:51,715 --> 01:05:55,585
You can see in Tom's performance
from "Hamilton"
1403
01:05:55,619 --> 01:06:01,258
original staging echo Hal
from "Sweeney Todd".
1404
01:06:01,291 --> 01:06:05,662
"Sweeney Todd" really
evoked 18th century London,
1405
01:06:06,563 --> 01:06:11,168
got to the fog
coming from the River Thames,
1406
01:06:11,201 --> 01:06:15,672
is the same as the performance
and set the design "Hamilton"
1407
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:22,512
raises the tavern
candlelight
1408
01:06:22,546 --> 01:06:25,582
where the founding father
left this country
1409
01:06:25,615 --> 01:06:29,086
The performance is very simple
but it's animated.
1410
01:06:29,119 --> 01:06:33,057
The extraordinary thing
is the choreography.
1411
01:06:33,090 --> 01:06:36,326
Humans, it's alive.
Everyone moves.
1412
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,428
The design suggests a ship
1413
01:06:38,462 --> 01:06:42,732
with wooden boards and rope
and things like that,
1414
01:06:42,766 --> 01:06:44,634
maybe a country ship.
1415
01:06:44,668 --> 01:06:48,305
But besides that,
it's interesting himself
1416
01:06:48,338 --> 01:06:51,475
for the lead in the show.
1417
01:06:51,508 --> 01:06:53,343
When "Hamilton" hit Broadway
1418
01:06:53,377 --> 01:06:56,580
in the summer of 2015
it exploded,
1419
01:06:56,613 --> 01:06:59,249
not short
a phenomenon
1420
01:06:59,283 --> 01:07:01,118
all of America
1421
01:07:01,151 --> 01:07:03,487
The show was bombarded
with awards,
1422
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,789
collected Grammy
and Pulitzer prizes.
1423
01:07:05,822 --> 01:07:08,725
next to
Avalanche Tonys.
1424
01:07:08,758 --> 01:07:13,563
In July 2016, Lin-Manuel gave
the last farewell show
1425
01:07:13,597 --> 01:07:15,565
like Alexander Hamilton,
1426
01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:18,402
before substitute
Javier Muñoz
1427
01:07:18,435 --> 01:07:20,104
steps into the role.
1428
01:07:20,137 --> 01:07:22,539
That fall,
"Hamilton" started his journey
1429
01:07:22,572 --> 01:07:24,808
towards being
a global sensation.
1430
01:07:25,575 --> 01:07:28,078
The game starts
a place to live in Chicago,
1431
01:07:28,112 --> 01:07:32,349
a tour cast assembled
to travel to America in 2017
1432
01:07:32,382 --> 01:07:35,219
and announced
producer "Les Miserables"
1433
01:07:35,252 --> 01:07:37,454
Cameron Mackintosh
will watch
1434
01:07:37,707 --> 01:07:39,689
an opening
in West London End. P>
1435
01:07:39,723 --> 01:07:44,294
I started writing this in 2008.
So this is the highlight of...
1436
01:07:44,328 --> 01:07:45,862
This is a celebration
of many people
1437
01:07:45,895 --> 01:07:47,797
puts a lot of hard work,
1438
01:07:47,831 --> 01:07:52,369
especially Tommie Kail
who got all the artforms
1439
01:07:52,402 --> 01:07:54,371
and made them
one cohesive thing
1440
01:07:54,404 --> 01:07:55,605
called "Hamilton".
1441
01:07:55,639 --> 01:07:57,807
The fact that we have so many
nominations is a celebration
1442
01:07:57,841 --> 01:07:59,876
of how many artforms
are needed to make music,
1443
01:07:59,909 --> 01:08:01,578
and that makes me very happy.
1444
01:08:01,611 --> 01:08:04,781
"Hamilton" success
as musical
1445
01:08:04,814 --> 01:08:08,318
lies in the fact that
of course this is a great story.
1446
01:08:08,352 --> 01:08:12,689
This is aspirational,
it's an American
1448
01:08:17,427 --> 01:08:19,396
through diversity
from cast
1449
01:08:19,429 --> 01:08:21,398
But I think
True genius lies
1450
01:08:21,431 --> 01:08:23,733
in the genius of
playwright himself,
1451
01:08:23,767 --> 01:08:27,637
in terms of Lin-Manuel
mastery of language
1452
01:08:27,671 --> 01:08:30,607
and his brilliance
with which he is able
1453
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,177
to place contemporary musicals
together interesting.
1454
01:08:33,210 --> 01:08:35,779
He can't write anything
and it will be brilliant.
1455
01:08:35,812 --> 01:08:37,881
Take something
from the substance,
1456
01:08:37,914 --> 01:08:41,151
it can't but
an extraordinary success,
1457
01:08:41,185 --> 01:08:42,752
of course.
1458
01:08:42,786 --> 01:08:45,622
The intervention is
1459
01:08:45,655 --> 01:08:47,724
to really include
color people
1460
01:08:47,757 --> 01:08:52,229
< on the American stage in a way
it's transformative
1461
01:08:52,262 --> 01:08:53,930
and it's ongoing
1462
01:08:53,963 --> 01:08:57,634
and that changes its meaning
from the Big White Road
1463
01:08:57,667 --> 01:08:58,835
as exclusive space
1464
01:08:58,868 --> 01:09:00,704
becomes something
that's a lot of inclusion.
1465
01:09:00,737 --> 01:09:06,476
I think you should go back
for hip-hop use,
1466
01:09:06,510 --> 01:09:10,614
which, for the first time,
in musical theater
1467
01:09:10,647 --> 01:09:13,717
because maybe the 50s
1468
01:09:13,750 --> 01:09:18,154
is a life form
in popular music
1469
01:09:18,788 --> 01:09:24,261
For 40, The last 50 years,
the way people sing in musicals,
1470
01:09:24,294 --> 01:09:27,397
pretty like that,
not the same
1471
01:09:27,431 --> 01:09:30,934
like what people listen to
on the radio or on their iPod.
1472
01:09:30,967 --> 01:09:34,771
What often disappears
is the quality.
1473
01:09:34,804 --> 01:09:38,875
That's very good.
That's one reason.
1474
01:09:38,908 --> 01:09:40,844
This is very good.
1475
01:09:40,877 --> 01:09:44,714
Socio-political aspects
From that, casting it. P>
1476
01:09:44,748 --> 01:09:47,317
All of that
1477
01:09:47,351 --> 01:09:50,620
Connection
for bigger social problems now
1478
01:09:50,654 --> 01:09:54,724
that's very much in the air
about immigration and race.
1479
01:09:54,758 --> 01:09:56,493
That is obviously important.
1480
01:09:56,526 --> 01:09:57,961
But if the game is not good,
1481
01:09:57,994 --> 01:09:59,663
none of these items
will be important
1482
01:09:59,696 --> 01:10:03,500
I spent seven years
writing this
1483
01:10:03,533 --> 01:10:08,838
So I want to hammer
that's a lot house
1484
01:10:08,872 --> 01:10:12,876
Kicking a knock from the cell
triggering writing me
1485
01:10:12,909 --> 01:10:18,648
But to be honest,
takes a long time
1486
01:10:18,682 --> 01:10:21,285
to get
into a form like this.
1487
01:10:21,318 --> 01:10:24,288
And that's a very big
act of faith, right?
1488
01:10:24,321 --> 01:10:26,956
After stepping
off the stage " Hamilton "
1489
01:10:26,990 --> 01:10:29,526
Lin-Manuel Miranda
quickly became
1490
01:10:29,559 --> 01:10:32,862
an artist who was highly sought by
and personality. P>
1491
01:10:32,896 --> 01:10:34,664
He was invited
to donate music
1492
01:10:34,698 --> 01:10:37,301
for "Star Wars:
Awakening Force",
1493
01:10:37,334 --> 01:10:38,435
asked to write songs
1494
01:10:38,468 --> 01:10:40,670
for animation
Disney films "Moana",
1495
01:10:40,704 --> 01:10:43,707
and submit the main role
in the Mary Poppins sequel
1496
01:10:43,740 --> 01:10:45,775
"Mary Poppins Returns". P>
1497
01:10:45,809 --> 01:10:47,977
During the course
from two short years,
1498
01:10:48,011 --> 01:10:49,446
Lin-Manuel has become
1499
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,581
one of the most famous
names in America,
1500
01:10:51,615 --> 01:10:54,651
celebrated by a legion of fans,
1501
01:10:54,684 --> 01:10:56,986
everyone is waiting,
with a breath of feed,
1502
01:10:57,020 --> 01:10:58,555
to see what will happen next
1503
01:10:58,588 --> 01:11:01,024
from people who
re-awake Broadway
1504
01:11:01,057 --> 01:11:02,892
Broadway is not unusual
1505
01:11:02,926 --> 01:11:04,661
has rockstar
1506
01:11:04,694 --> 01:11:08,632
I am sure everyone is like,
"What will you do next?
1507
01:11:08,665 --> 01:11:10,467
" The world is your oyster. "
1508
01:11:10,500 --> 01:11:12,502
He has
all the ropes on world
1509
01:11:12,536 --> 01:11:13,770
to do anything
he wants
1510
01:11:13,803 --> 01:11:17,040
It's fun.
He was brought
this listener was with him.
1511
01:11:17,073 --> 01:11:19,743
He has all these new fans
and all these hopes. P>
1512
01:11:19,776 --> 01:11:22,045
I want to see if he can now
1513
01:11:22,078 --> 01:11:24,514
with the platform
he has built for himself,
1514
01:11:24,548 --> 01:11:30,687
and the skills he honed
if now he can use his abilities
1515
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:35,058
to tell a musical story
without hip-hop
1516
01:11:35,091 --> 01:11:37,694
I enjoy hip-hop
on this event
1517
01:11:37,727 --> 01:11:40,464
and I feel like that
needed for this event
1518
01:11:40,497 --> 01:11:45,435
to convey
so much material that it can be remembered.
1519
01:11:45,469 --> 01:11:48,538
But I wonder
what can he do without it
1520
01:11:48,572 --> 01:11:50,440
You can say it
it's the language
1521
01:11:50,474 --> 01:11:51,775
he developed it for himself.
1522
01:11:51,808 --> 01:11:53,543
Why ask him? < do something else?
1523
01:11:53,577 --> 01:11:55,412
And I agree with that too.
1524
01:11:55,445 --> 01:11:57,547
But if he is writing a
show for me now,
1525
01:11:57,581 --> 01:11:59,883
I want to see it
where he really encourages
1526
01:11:59,916 --> 01:12:03,086
his melodic abilities
going forward,
1527
01:12:03,119 --> 01:12:05,822
not just
his lyrical abilities. P >
1528
01:12:05,855 --> 01:12:09,058
I think with theater people
1529
01:12:09,092 --> 01:12:11,495
and artists like
Lin-Manuel Miranda,
1530
01:12:12,128 --> 01:12:15,098
You should expect
to be unexpected.
1531
01:12:15,131 --> 01:12:20,136
His mind works
that ordinary people don't do it.
1532
01:12:20,169 --> 01:12:21,871
He sees things we don't want.
He reads 900-page biographies
1533
01:12:21,905 --> 01:12:24,474
about Alexander Hamilton
and seeing musicals.
1534
01:12:24,508 --> 01:12:27,911
He's like Andrew Lloyd
Webber in that sense.
1535
01:12:27,944 --> 01:12:29,713
Andrew read
some bullshit poetry for children
1536
01:12:29,746 --> 01:12:31,848
about cats and seeing musicals.
1537
01:12:31,881 --> 01:12:33,450
He is like Cameron Mackintosh
1538
01:12:33,483 --> 01:12:36,019
who raised
a 1,000-thick novel in French
1539
01:12:36,052 --> 01:12:39,723
about a man who stole bread
and saw "Les Miserables".
1540
01:12:39,756 --> 01:12:41,691
He was like Michael Bennett
who thought,
1541
01:12:41,725 --> 01:12:43,827
"Anonymous story it's
people dancing choir
1542
01:12:43,860 --> 01:12:45,429
"Can appear alone."
1543
01:12:45,462 --> 01:12:48,898
I think theater people like that
1544
01:12:48,932 --> 01:12:50,467
will come
crossing something
1545
01:12:50,500 --> 01:12:52,769
that captures their imagination
1546
01:12:54,003 --> 01:12:57,707
only that they can see revealed
on their head as a show
1547
01:12:57,741 --> 01:13:00,810
and finally
they will create it on stage
1548
01:13:00,844 --> 01:13:03,880
for all of us to see and enjoy.
1549
01:13:03,913 --> 01:13:06,149
So from Lin-Manuel Miranda
1550
01:13:06,182 --> 01:13:08,685
Aku mengharapkan sesuatu
Aku belum pernah melihat sebelumnya.
