It is the brainchild of Lin Manuel-Miranda, who has worked on the music, lyrics and script of this iconic musical, and it took seven years for everything to come together; the process for scripting, music and other things started in 2009. Directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Alexander Hamilton- Ron Chernow’s acclaimed biography.
