Based on the book Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, the musical reimagines events in Hamilton's life and sets them to hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and Broadway music.
The title character of HAMILTON is Alexander Hamilton, one of America's founders (played by the creator of the musical, Lin-Manuel Miranda). And casting these White historical figures with a diverse group of actors offers new role models for young people thinking about what it means to be American. But there are plenty of inspiring and empowering messages here, as well as a strong theme of perseverance. A suicide by hanging is alluded to, and the realities of slavery and the fact that many of these historical figures owned enslaved people are minimized. Language includes a use of "f-k," plus "s-t," damn," "God," "bastard," "whore," hell," "ass," "pr-k," and "Jesus Christ." Darker scenes deal with war and deadly pistol duels. The story does have mature themes, including adultery (there's a steamy number between Hamilton and a mistress) and dangerous rivalry throughout. Both young fans of the show and new audiences are likely to be interested in the Tony- and Pulitzer-winning play: It's a true cultural phenomenon, with easily recognizable songs and references. Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote and stars as Alexander Hamilton in the hip-hop-inspired musical. Parents need to know that Hamilton is the much anticipated filmed version of the original Broadway production about America's founders. Characters drink socially at various events ("pour me another brew, son").ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide.
