<p><b>”Alexander Hamilton”</b> is the opening number for the 2015 musical <i><a href=”/pages/w/1639988946229773″>Hamilton</a></i>, a musical biography of American <a href=”/pages/w/111644182193012″>Founding Father</a> <a href=”/pages/w/111804065503503″>Alexander Hamilton</a>, which premiered on <a href=”/pages/w/111853852165033″>Broadway</a> in 2015. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote both the music and lyrics to the song. This song features “alternately rapped and sung exposition”.</p><h2>History</h2><p>This song was originally part of a group of songs entitled “The Hamilton Mixtape” and created by <a href=”/pages/w/109468252412226″>Lin-Manuel Miranda</a> as he started interpreting and adapting <a href=”/pages/w/109394492419912″>Ron Chernow</a>’s <i>Hamilton</i> biography for the stage. He performed this number live at a White House poetry jam in 2009. The <i>National Review</i> noted “The Obamas and the other guests react with more than a touch of surprise.” <i><a href=”/pages/w/109344432418840″>The New Yorker</a></i> writes that “Miranda later heard that the President’s first reaction was to remark that <a href=”/pages/w/104087346293948″>Timothy Geithner</a> had to see this.” The musical, and this song’s YouTube video in particular, have had an impact on education; Miranda said “I think teachers used just that one clip for the past six years as their intro to Hamilton.”</p><p>In February 2016, the song was performed live at the <a href=”/pages/w/108485595850122″>Grammy</a>s, the first time a song was broadcast live from a Broadway stage for the Hollywood award show. <i><a href=”/pages/w/109214239096989”>Billboard</a></i> said they “wowed”, while TV Line deemed it “crowd-pleasing”. <i>Billboard</i> deemed it the night’s 4th best live musical moment, writing “the emotional, enervating retelling of American history was one of the night’s standout moments”. <i><a href=”/pages/w/112882072059871″>Rolling Stone</a></i> also deemed it a highlight and wrote “It’s not Hamilton’s most compelling set piece, but it’s a very solid introduction to the show’s characters, cast and themes. For millions that won’t be able to make it to Broadway this year, watching it performed on network TV was the next best thing to actually scoring a ticket.”</p>
