My Favorite Character

This is a New Yorker writing a review on a New York show, so I was able to expect biasty. There are many paths the writer could have approached with its topic of ‘Why Hamilton Has Heat.’ If a writer thought that ‘Hamilton’ does not deserve the popularity and success it received, there would have been sources of negative reviews and mentions of better options to watch on Broadway considering its over-hyped-ness. But instead, Piepenburg only praises the theatrical phenomenon and reveals his biasty with implications of well-deserved rewards. The writer does not dive in deep when assuming that historians are fans of the show by virtue of not pointing out any historical inaccuracy. For example, a historical inaccuracy in the show is a whole musical number; where Alexander Hamilton consults with Aaron Burr on writing the constitution when in fact, there was no evidence of Hamilton consulting Burr at all on writing the constitution(Carra

It is a duet between a loyalist and Alexander Hamilton where the loyalist is elegantly singing to the crowd how a revolution is not a solution and the colonists should stay loyal to England. However, Hamilton is rapping about how the revolution is coming because of taxation without representation and bloodshed. In the musical, hip hop and rap is used to represent the revolution while elegantly singing represents the English. This song contrasts the two ideas with the two singing formats. Today's music is also at the transition from traditional music to hip hop and how they contrast while complementing each other. Miranda uses this form of contemporary singing to connect and educate the audience with the revolutionary war, normally considered to be boring. The music was used instead of the lyrics to connect the listener with the history behind the lyrics. American culture has been turning towards hip hop, and this song embodies the changing culture while connecting the present to historical

This musical helped me gain confidence because I could relate to a character more than I ever have before, his success reassuring me. Alexander Hamilton was similar to me because he argued for what he believed was right, stopping at nothing. Mediocrity could not satisfy Hamilton and he rose from his circumstances as an orphan immigrant to make an impression, later heading the treasury of the United States in its formation. Listening to the soundtrack of Hamilton inspires me to take a stand and make the most out of my life, no matter what challenging circumstances I face along the

The Broadway musical is an enormous hit because of the rival characters. “Hamilton” the musical is about the beginning America told by Americans now. “Hamilton” allows a history lesson about Alexander Hamilton to be interesting

The musical “Hamilton” is the most sought after musical in years. It is the first seen rap musical and it has received the most ‘Tony’ awards and nominations in Broadway history. Hamilton premiered off Broadway in 2015 and soon moved to Broadway to stun the world with it’s incredible everything, from plot to casting. For best albums, Hamilton was second ranked in Billboard magazine and has got endless supply of recognition for the ingenious play written by the phenomenal Lin Manual Miranda. Hamilton is currently the most popular sensation on Broadway because of the music with its creative lyrics and hidden messages, it’s stellar performance and the perspectives it gives us on the people that founded our county. (on the people that shaped our past and developed our future).

Eliza changed herself for the better. In act 5, she told the two men to start calling her “Miss Doolittle” and that was the beginning of learning her self worth. She was done being treated like a “live doll” and began to see herself like a Duchess, like Higgins

There are many characteristics that could impact one’s life in a negative way causing them to lose everything in life such as selfishness, messiness, untrustworthiness, self-righteousness, or ego. In the award-winning musical, Hamilton: The Revolution, by Lin-Manuel-Miranda, the character of protagonist, Alexander Hamilton may be described in many ways. However, one character trait stands out among the rest. The main character trait of Alexander Hamilton, self-righteousness, shaped everything about his life: how he grew up, how he dominated in debates, and even how he fell from grace. Hamilton always stuck by his ideals, not caring whether it affected other people. These traits led him to lose and gain

Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, is the hit broadway show that has taken over America. It tells the story of one of our founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, who accomplished many great things through this life. He was “the chief aide to General George Washington, one of the most influential  interpreters and promoters of the U.S. Constitution, the founder of the nation’s financial system, the founder of the Federalist Party, the world’s first voter-based political party, the Father of the United States Coast Guard, and the founder of the New York Post” (Kirov). The musical’s delightful melodies and dramatic storyline not only entertain America, but educate and inspire them.

Hamilton: An American musical should not be used as an accurate way to explain Alexander Hamilton's life. It is clearly an over-dramatized, candy coated explanation of the time. Alexander Hamilton was a legendary founding father whose legacy has been permanently indented into the history books. He’s a man who will never be forgotten. But Hamilton is not his legacy. His real story is his legacy. History is his story. The truth is what he would want to be remembered by, not some overdone, moneymaking machine loosely based around his

In other words, I changed myself to fit society’s standards; it wasn’t until the end of my junior year that I realized something that would change the way I saw myself forever. During

“How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence impoverished, in squalor grow up to be a hero and a scholar?” The first lines of this year’s hottest musical, Hamilton, ask this question about one of our most interesting founding fathers. The story of Hamilton’s life is just as inspiring and interesting today as it would have been to his contemporaries at the time.

Tickets to see Hamilton: An American Musical on Broadway are sold out until mid-2017 and prices for a ticket reach up to $1,000. The hip-hopera sensation is sweeping the nation, from old people to children alike. “It is the story of America then told by America now,” explains its writer, Lin-Manuel Miranda. The show brings up current topics set in old settings and makes them new again. One would hardly think a hip hop musical about a founding father would be something to be considered worthy of literary merit, but I would go as far to say that Hamilton is just as worthy as The Color Purple and Invisible Man. It combines the old with the new, is written very intelligently, brings the story to life, sharpens the audience’s awareness of life,

Alexander Hamilton a great founder so great there have been many biographies written and a broadway play capturing the eyes, ears, and minds of a diverse audience. With all the flashing lights amazing choreography and lyricism of the rap performed in this play the mass society that believes solely in the message of diversity and the building of our country by an immigrant can not truly see who Hamilton really was as a founder. The representation he built in the office he created of himself is far from the images of Hamilton represented in “Hamilton: The American Revolution” by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy Carter. This play does not represent the time as it was, but as we wish it would be: a period of fighting for equality for all: for men, for women, and for slaves. Irresponsibly does it sprinkle in small details of history bringing forth a light of immaculate freedom and omitting the cold facts, we do not wish to open our eyes. It is ,however, entertaining.

Hamilton: An American Musical twists the truth of Hamilton’s story as the portrayals of the characters are superficially inaccurate to their true resemblance. The events of this musical take place throughout the late 18th century to the early 19th century. At this time, minorities – specifically African Americans – were involved in slave labour and those in political and societal power were Caucasian (Chernow, 2004). Several characters featured in this show with such power include George Washington, Thomas

     After long, excruciating lessons, Eliza starts to get it and begins to talk in perfect English. Now, its time to try her newly learned skills. In the play, Higgins takes her to his mother’s house, while in the musical he takes her to the Ascot Races. Here they learn that she may speak perfectly, but she still can revert to her “flower girl” ways. This is where Freddy Eynsford-Hills falls in love with Eliza. Eliza’s father is forced into Middle Class after he inherits a large sum of money.
