The year is 1776. A young, scrappy, and hungry immigrant fights to forge a new nation. Brilliant and impatient, Alexander Hamilton rises from orphan to George Washington's right-hand man, navigating the treacherous waters of early America. But as the country's founding fathers clash, Hamilton's impulsive nature puts his legacy - and life - at risk. In the end, the "ten-dollar Founding Father" leaves an indelible mark, his story now celebrated in the groundbreaking Broadway sensation that bears his name.
