Hamilton is a study in adaptation. Its amazing cast gave breathtaking performances and won 11 Tony Awards, and this incredible musical starts out with the musical number called "Alexander Hamilton," which summarises the life of this man. Lin Manuel Miranda plays the role of Alexander Hamilton, and here are some of his best quotes from the show.

DaBaby’s “Rockstar” spent a sixth straight week at Number One on the Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart. The SethInTheKitchen-produced single, which features the rising star Roddy Ricch, earned 26 million streams.

While DaBaby extended his summer reign on the Rs 100, all 19 songs from Pop Smoke’s posthumous album Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon made the chart. The leader was “For the Night,” featuring DaBaby along with the streaming star Lil Baby, which debuted at Number Two. “The Woo,” “Aim for the Moon,” “Got It on Me,” and...

Hamilton is back. Surrounding the premiere of Hamilton on Disney Plus on July 3rd, sales and streams for the soundtrack to the hit Broadway musical have soared over the past two weeks, launching the album to Number Two on this week’s Rolling Stone Top 200 Albums chart.

From July 3rd through July 9th, Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording) pulled in 106,300 units, topping Lil Baby’s My Turn by more than 40,000 units. The Hamilton Instrumentals also saw an increase, entering the chart for the first time at Number 74 with over 10,000 units last week.

For a musical that relies heavily on the power of words, one of the most poignant Hamilton moments comes - surprisingly - when nothing is said at all. At the end of the show (now available to stream on Disney+), the full cast performs the moving number "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" and Alexander Hamilton's wife Eliza (played by Phillipa Soo) delivers a final monologue. The beloved Schulyer sister explains how she devoted her life to Alexander's legacy: she raised funds for the Washington Monument, she established an orphanage, and she compiled Alexander's letters and writings for his biography.

"Whether that thing she's seeing is Hamilton, whether that thing she's seeing is heaven, whether that thing she's seeing is the world now. I think those are all valid and all fair."

Eliza delivers her emotional parting line, "I can't wait to see you again. It's only a matter of time,...

“Weird Al” Yankovic marked the arrival of the filmed performance of Hamilton on Disney+ by piecing together a new video for his “Hamilton Polka.”

Weird Al released his polka medley of Hamilton tracks back in 2018 as part of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s monthly “Hamildrops” series. With his trusty accordion in hand, Yankovic condensed the three-hour musical into a five-minute medley featuring jaunty renditions of “Alexander Hamilton,” “My Shot,” “You’ll Be Back,” “Wait for It,” “The Room Where It Happens” and the “The Schuyler Sisters.”

The room where it happened is now in your living room, as long as you subscribe to Disney +, where a filmed version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamilton is currently streaming. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway smash about Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s founding fathers, became nearly impossible to see after celebrities and New York elites drove up ticket prices. It’s indeed worthy of high praise, though, and high ticket prices, as evidenced by the life-affirming events that take place over the course of the 2 hour, 45 minute run time. But Disney + is where it belongs, at least for now.

The production plays with the same verbal and visual fireworks as the stage version, partly because it was filmed in front of a live audience at the Richard Rodger’s Theater, and partly because catchy music and convincing storytelling make for great cinema. The show also features the original cast – who...
