[quote=Anonymous]There's a book called [i]Hamilton: The Revolution[/i] which is about the creation of the musical. If you're interested in the many references the musical makes, or how the songs got written, and stagecraft details like "the bullet" role (someone posted above about watching the dancer who is "the bullet" -- watch that cast member throughout the whole play to see a lot else going on too) -- then you would be interested in that book. It's in some libraries. Lots of pictures and lyrics but it does pick apart the lyrics to show you what Miranda was thinking as he wrote the songs.

Getting the musical out of Miranda's head and onto the stage was a very interesting process if you're into musicals at all. If you like "Hamilton" like I do, you owe a lot to director Thomas Kail and musical director Alex Lacamoire, who have worked with Miranda for a long time, and who were crucial to keeping Miranda on track. This isn't me saying so--Miranda is always quick to credit Kail, Lacamoire and choreographer Andy Blankebuehler with making the musical a reality.
