Take a look into the background and inspiration behind this play, the critiques it has undergone, and the revolutionary methods of storytelling and representations that "Hamilton" integrates.   By playing with traditional rules of theatre, music and physical presentation, Miranda's play produces three-dimentional representations of women, immigrants, and people of color.
