User blog:Miststream/Intro to the Hamilton Musical Wiki

Hello everyone! If you haven't met me already, I'm Miststream/Mist, and in this blog I'm going to introduce the wiki for the hit Broadway show Hamilton, the Hamilton Wiki.



What is Hamilton?
Hamilton is a hit Broadway musical which illustrates the life of one of America's founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton (written and composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda) shows how Hamilton "rises up" from his impoverished past to help build America from the ground up, and bring it to what it is today. It is based off the biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, and tells the true story of Treasury of Secretary Hamilton's life.

Though the musical incorporates a variety of different musical styles, its most unique are hip-hop influences (It includes the fastest rap done in Broadway history onstage!). You might have seen Hamilton in the Grammys, or more recently the Tonys, where it broke records for a total of 16 nominations and won 11 of them: including the title of "Best Musical".
