The musical Hamilton opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on August 6, 2015. Disney+ is streaming it now. The show follows the remarkable life story of Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Its creator and star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, retells the tale using rap music and lyrics that tackle even political deal-making: “Two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a room/Diametric’ly opposed, foes/ They emerge with a compromise, having opened doors that were/Previously closed/Bros.”

“Provides nearly three hours of superior entertainment both for those who consider themselves devotees and those without previous viewing experience.” -Reelviews –James Berardinelli

“Puts you smack-bang in the room where it happens.” -The Hollywood Reporter -David Rooney
