Fusing hip-hop, pop, R\u0026amp;B, and the best traditions of theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHamilton: The Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e gives readers an unprecedented view of both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages -- \"since before this was even a show,\" according to Miranda -- traces its development from an improbable performance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Their account features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sondheim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by President Obama himself. The book does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don't throw away their shot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jeremy McCarter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1455539740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781455539741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.40h x 8.80w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e George Washington Book Prize - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016 pg. 121\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2016 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2015","brand":"Lin-Manuel Miranda","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053987066111,"sku":"9781455539741","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_137f026c-ba8e-40c8-a8f3-febd14bafb3b.jpg?v=1685027354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hamilton-lin-manuel-miranda-9781455539741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
