Hamilton’s return to Toronto proves well worth the wait
The production now onstage at the Princess of Wales Theatre reaffirms whyis still such an exhilarating experience that boldly pushes the parameters of musical theatre, in terms of music, content and the artists who create and present it., all named after members of Hamilton’s family. Back in 2020, Toronto saw the “Philip” company.
Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hip-hop musical bio of American founding father Alexander Hamilton has gone from thrillingly original to well-established.At college, Alex meets Aaron Burr and fellow radicals agitating for American independence from Great Britain. Thanks to his way with words, he winds up as George Washington’s right-hand man during the Revolutionary War. In a pause between military campaigns, he meets and marries Eliza, one of the daughters of wealthy Philip Schuyler.
Miranda’s score, orchestrated by Alex Lacamoire, is as witty and exciting as ever, playfully peppered with references to hip-hop and R&B classics – those by Biggie Smalls, Beyoncé and Jay-Z and Alicia Keys being just the most obvious. Then there are the allusions that cater to musical-theatre geeks, as well as the pervading influence ofwas never so heady. The inspiration of having wordsmith Hamilton and his political brethren declaim and debate in rapid-fire rap is genius.
