Premiering off Broadway in 2015, Hamilton was not instantly the Broadway success that it is now. Lin-Manuel Miranda has spoken honestly about its inspiration, starting as a concept album in 2009, with Miranda sharing that he was “thrilled that the White House called me tonight, because I’m actually working on a hip-hop album. It's a concept album about the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop: treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton.” That one single performance elicited praise and a well-deserved standing ovation from his crowd at the time, as well as former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, and ultimately led to Miranda’s production of the Hamilton musical we know today.
Due to his previous experience in musical theater, Lin-Manuel Miranda has also found inspiration from other great theater pieces such as Les Misérables, which continues a common theme that tells the story of a struggle, and triumphing that struggle, as opposed to the traditional musical theatre biases that tend to be very positive and happy. Hamilton is no different, being about the difficulties arising as an orphaned immigrant from the Caribbean who rose to power and became the first U.S. Treasury Secretary. With the greatest respect to its source material, the Musical shows us both the good and bad in Alexander Hamilton’s rise to power, by not only showing us a look into his personal life and struggle, but also his influence and lasting legacy in being able to significantly shape North America during its time period.
By telling this story, the production continues to display its relevance in American culture and even international public discourse, confronting topics and challenges that are very relevant not only to America, but also to the world. Even the use of musical genres like hip hop, jazz, and R&B as the shows score has solidified its place in pop culture, making it one of the most popular hit Des Moines musicals today.
