“Hamilton,” in its lyrics and its onstage and offstage spirit, exemplified NYC at its best: “The greatest city in the world” where everybody knows “how lucky we are to be alive right now.” A show about New York, made in New York by New Yorkers.

Hamilton celebrated ten years on Broadway with two performances yesterday. Lin-Manuel Miranda ‘s hit musical tells the story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America’s founding fathers, and it has a book, music and lyrics by Miranda.

10 years ago, Broadway was changed forever. The hit show Hamilton opened on August 6, 2015 and immediately earned rave reviews. It went on to win 11 Tony Award s, including the Tony for Best Musical. In 2020, the movie version of Hamilton was released on Disney+. A decade later, the show is still making history in Manhattan.
