      abstract = {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, rhythm and blues, and the best traditions of  theater, this once-in-a-generation show broadens the sound  of Broadway, reveals the storytelling power of rap, and  claims our country's origins for a diverse new generation.  Hamilton: The Revolution gives listeners a view,  unprecedented, of both revolutions, from the only two  writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy  McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was  involved in the project from its earliest stages, "since  before this was even a show," according to Miranda, traces  its development from an improbable performance at The White  House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years  later. Miranda, in addition, has written and recorded 300  funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto,  the full text of which is published here. A PDF on the  final disc features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels  and Joan Marcus, veteran Broadway photographer; exclusive  looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove,  Stephen Sondheim, leading political commentators, and more  than fifty people involved with the production; and  multiple appearances by President Obama himself. The  audiobook 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 do not throw away their shot. -- Container.},
