What is Hamilton about?

The musical tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, an orphan who rose through the ranks to become a Founding Father of the USA.

Born in the islands we now call Saint Kitts and Nevis, Hamilton spent his childhood in Charlestown.

After a series of unfortunate incidents such as his mother dying from illness, his cousin committing suicide and the few valuables his family owned being seized, Hamilton left his job as a trader. He sailed to Boston before moving to New York City, where he focused on getting a solid education.

While studying at King’s College, which is now called Columbia University, Hamilton became more outspoken about his political beliefs. He stressed the need for a revolution in America, for example.

When the American Revolutionary War began in 1775, he served as an artillery officer, aided General George Washington and more.

As the founder of the Bank of New York and the first US secretary of the treasury, Hamilton broke barrier after barrier with his historic decisions.

The musical is billed as a touching look at the accomplishments and failures of Hamilton, both in his professional and personal lives.

As the lyrics of one of the songs go: “Every other founding father’s story gets told.”

So, this is Hamilton’s story finally being told.
