The award-winning, groundbreaking Broadway musical, which uses rap as its storytelling format, is in Calgary until the end of July. Even if you don’t like musicals, give Hamilton a shot. The music is a mix of hip hop, jazz, R&B and Broadway. Quite frankly, it’s cool. With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow’s 2005 biography and tells the story of America’s founding father Alexander Hamilton. Perpetually sold out when it first opened on Broadway, it won a Tony, Grammy, Oliver, Pulitzer and Kennedy Center honour.
