An exclusive deluxe edition of Hamilton: The Revolution, the book that traces the development of the musical from an improbable performance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. Lin-Manuel Miranda's groundbreaking musical Hamilton is as revolutionary as its subject, the poor kid from the Caribbean who fought the British, defended the Constitution, and helped to found the United States. Fusing hip-hop, pop, R&B, and the best traditions of theater, Hamilton, the musical, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation. This 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.  Including a 24 x 30-inch poster featuring lyrics from "My Shot" and photography by Matthew Murphy, frameable reproductions of four collectable artifacts, including three stunning portraits from photographer Josh Lehrer (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Phillipa Soo and Renée Elise Goldsberry, and Daveed Diggs), and a letter from Alexander Hamilton to his wife, Eliza and a bonus CD that features Lin-Manuel Miranda performing libretto annotations.  * Still in Shrinkwrap *
