The Hamilton musical, says Lin-Manuel Miranda, is 'a story about America then, told by America now.'

The phenomenally popular show has inspired a hunger for knowledge about the American Revolution and Alexander Hamilton, until recently the least-known Founding Father. The musical has also sparked curiosity among the legions of fans across the country. Hamilton: Inside the Exhibition, published as a companion to the traveling Hamilton exhibition, was created to answer their questions.

In a concise and engaging approach evocative of the musical's style, Hamilton: Inside the Exhibition breaks down the fascinating and complex history around the dawn of our country.

Visually driven, the book tells the story alongside period paintings, etchings, newspaper pages, and pamphlets as well as contemporary photographs from the original cast production and the exhibition galleries, which are designed to create immersive experiences.

The text — prepared in conjunction with two accomplished Hamilton scholars, Joanne Freeman of Yale University and Annette Gordon-Reed of Harvard University — charts the dramatic periods of Hamilton’s life: his tumultuous coming-of-age in St. Croix, the beginnings of a career in New York on the eve of the Revolution, rising through the ranks of the Continental Army, inventing a new government, and finally, his difficult relationship with Aaron Burr leading up to their fateful duel.

Praise for "Hamilton: The Exhibition" on its opening in Chicago April 2019

“Hamilton has taken a step that appears to be without precedent in the theater world. . . . The immersive exhibition tracks the life of Alexander Hamilton. . .from his childhood in the Caribbean to his fatal shooting on a dueling ground in Weehawken, N.J., and it also uses his life as a tool for exploring early American history.” —The New York Times
