Hamilton: Behind The Musical | Full Documentary | Amplified 

I think it is a stretch to say Lin isn't a great actor, maybe not the greatest singer, but his acting I felt everything he felt through his face. He blew me away.

Sadly Alexander Hamilton is not taught in most schools. Every other founding father is taught about. And I know this first hand . When history was taught to me in the 90's he was never discussed my two oldest children also was not taught about Hamilton. My youngest who is 14 and just finished 8th grade had watched Hamilton and it just so happened that the 8th grade classes had history and were covering the founding fathers but for some reason the two history teachers left Hamilton out. The 8th grade classes had to do a project on the Founding Fathers and were able to pick who they wanted to do their project on. My child was the only one that chose Hamilton. She spent many hours reading history books ECT... The teacher asked why did you choose Hamilton when we never discussed him. My child's reply was this. " That's exactly the reason why I chose Hamilton he was instrumental in building America and deserves to be remembered just as much as the other founding fathers. " She got a 100 on her project

4:01 "He well may become a director" 1yr later I watch Tick Tick Boom directed by him

Lin is legendary and brings pride to NY& Puerto Ricans everywhere. He is talented beyond his years and I only wish I discovered his talent sooner. We are so lucky to experience his art real time. I hope somewhere in some woman’s belly there is a child that will bring this level of art to us again. We desperately need more people like Lin. I can’t say anymore . Thank you Lin so much contribution & God bless the true artists of the future

Alexander Could have become president. A popular misconception is that because he was born in the British West Indies, Hamilton could not legally have become president. That’s not the case. The Constitution states that to become president, a person must be either a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the Constitution’s adoption, which Hamilton certainly was. In fact, the first seven U.S. presidents were born British citizens. Martin Van Buren, born in 1782, was the first to be born an American citizen.

I finally had the chance to see Hamilton and it was a true beauty! One of the greatest shows I've ever have and ever will see!

I love this musical. Now im interested in watching other broadway shows

I think Lin Manuel Miranda it a true blessing to this world! In a time where art isn't about expressing yorself and the art itself anymore but just comercials and money and fame it's very rare to find true artists who rlly create masterpieces and not just publish smth for the money and don't even rlly spend time and love in what they do. the quality of what we call art nowerdays is much lover than 100 years ago and finding someone who stil creates true art and who has true talent is rare. so thank you Lin Manuel Miranda for doing what you're doing and showing that there's still true talent in this world.

I just saw Hamilton last night. It was awesome. I wanted to see how a kid on "Electric Company" could make it to Broadway! Wow!

One of those critics is so ungracious and resentful of the genius of the creatives behind this masterpiece - all the reasons critics get a bad name. Ugh.

I just saw Hamilton last night. I was blown away, no pun intended. It is so masterfully put together. It's amazing how reading a biography while on vacation led him to put all of this together. Historically, I learned a lot. I had no idea Hamilton was the first politician to be publicly outted for misdeeds. I've since read the letters his mistress and her conniving husband sent Hamilton. Lyrically it's impressive how Lin put so much into every verse to create such dimensional portrayals of historical figures.

Do you know what Lin did next? ENCANTO!!!!

This video made me listen to In The Heights, then watch the movie & I love it!!

Nice new channel being born, this one!

Love this guy!

13:46. It's strange this gentleman seems unaware of Miranda's views on Hamilton. They were patently clear in his presentation of the first rap of the still-in-creation-process musical at the White House, years before the work's premiere. He said, "I'm working on a concept album on the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop: Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton." And he followed explaining how Hamilton had arrived to be a Founding Father and have fights with everyone, on the power of his writing, how the power of words can change the world. The video is on RU-vid in the channel of Obama's White House; it has millions of views. Easy to find: just look for "Hamilton White House." 18:45. And, *of course,* the White House event is mentioned. And later, Miranda explains it again. How is it that someone is still wondering *why* he chose Hamilton as a subject? The ten dollar founding father without a father embodies hip-hop!

The things Lin Manuel will do for the rest of his career! Can't wait!

💎🕊️✌️🖖🫂 Lin-Manuel IS SUCH A Cute 🥰, Sweet 🧁, Smart 🤓, AND Artistic🎵 🎭 🎶 NERD ⬜ ... AND I'M OH, SOOOOO VERY PROUD 🦚 🥲👍 OF HIM!!!!!!!!! 🌟

This is great doco but i would love it if you put subtitles on your videos so Hard of hearing people can enjoy it as well

I vehemently disagree…Lin Manuel is an excellent actor. Especially in the Disney plus recording

I saw this musical twice it great

There's nothing like summer in the city...

45:36 they cut it but he did write a third rap battle about slavery and how he did not have the political power to fight against slavery, so he left it

He is an actual musical genius. 24:10 - 27:05 is INSANE.

Strangely enough, Hamilton technically could have been president. I forgot where it's said; it may have been in the Declaration of Independence. But during the time America was formed, there was a loophole where even if you weren't born there, you could still run for president. Which I guess makes sense since most people who lived in the colonies weren't born there but were born in Britain. Take George Washington, for example. He wasn't born in the colonies; he was born in Britain and served as a lieutenant colonel for the British during the French Indian War, yet he still became the first president of the U.S.

I have tickets for Hamilton Australia in October 2024, I can't wait!.

The only founding fathers I've ever been taught about in American Public school were Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Continuing that, we were only ever taught they amazing things that they did. Not to say the bad things should be looked at MORE than the accomplishments, but they should still be included; it shows that these people weren't god-like figures, they were people too.

Cameron Macintosh did not write Les Miserables.

Hamilton is the musical version of a gateway drug.

💎🕊️✌️🖖🫂"Hamilton" MUST BE MADE TO BE A PART OF EVERY SCHOOL'S 🏫 🎒 📐📚 CORE CURRICULUM!!!! 🍎 🔔 🌟

One of the songs that I am disappointed in them cutting was “Congratulations” the song where Engelica Sylner comes back from London after he wrote the affair in pamphlets it was more then just “I’m not here for you”

32:11 yes, Hamilton could be elected as President because they made an exception of anyone in the country during the founding could become President of the US

wow

31:41, what scene is that in the musical??

Why are only some of the cast mic'ed?

I am some of those who know stuff out of Hamilton

Why are they sitting so uncomfortably close ??? 😳

The Hero isn't quite the hero.

The arrogance of the man speaking at the end 1:11:52 you wonder what he can do without hiphop, if he were writing a show for you you’d want something different. Way to center yourself in the universe buddy🙄🙄

If they make this into a movie, they should give it a modern age twist, like Romeo+Juliet! And I got a good idea for the cast! Alexander Hamilton: Anthony Ramos Aaron Burr: Brandon Victor Dixon Eliza Hamilton: Melissa Barrera Angelica Schuyler: Alicia Keys George Washington: Christopher Jackson (for sentimental reasons), or Jamie Foxx Lafayette/Thomas Jefferson: Donald Glover Hercules Mulligan/James Madison: The Rock John Laurens/Phillip Hamilton: Gregory Diaz IV Peggy Schuyler/Maria Reynolds: Victoria Justice King George III: Hugh Jackman With Lin Manuel Miranda cameo as either Charles Lee or James Reynolds

Lin Manuel = good actor; but he should have delegated the singing to others

0"0"0"0"0"0”0" de de

I was invited to go to see this. Luckily, I was ill.

Great composer, lyricist, but a terrible historian.

Stop with the hip hop tagging please it’s spoken word ie Poetry take away the beat. When they the majority say hip hop it’s really derogatory. I hate it 😡 Hamilton is insanely brilliant Esau is the biggest hater

This is a great show, but lin manuel seems so unauthentic and so full of himself it ruins it a bit.

Hola 👋😃👌amigo Jesús 🙏😇💋💖
