Matt Roush says...
Still drawing audiences after more than a decade on Broadway, on the road and (somewhat ironically) in London’s West End, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s landmark 2015 musical Hamilton remains an astonishing creation, fusing the energy of hip-hop onto a stunningly diverse historical tapestry. As part of a special collectors’ edition (including a 4K UHD Blu-Ray) of the filmed version of the stage production released in 2020, a new documentary explores the hip-hop influences that inspired the Tony-winning composer and star to follow the Grammy-winning original cast album with an acclaimed Hamilton Mixtape recording. Miranda is joined by artists including Busta Rhymes, Questlove, Nas, and Common to reflect on the phenomenon.
