Hamilton: An American Musical

by Lin‐Manuel Miranda

The 3074th greatest album of all time

Hamilton: An American Musical is the original cast recording of Lin-Manuel Miranda's stage musical that retells the life of Alexander Hamilton through a blend of hip hop, R&B, pop rap and traditional musical theatre styles. The album mixes rapid, densely rhymed rap passages, melodic ballads and ensemble showtunes, using contemporary production and vocal delivery to drive narrative scenes, and is widely recognized for bringing modern urban musical forms and diverse casting into mainstream musical theatre.
