It portrays his restless ways in both politics and his personal life.
He was far from perfect and this musical acknowledges it. He cheated on his wife and paid a man to get away with it. As much good as he accomplished, he was also an imperfect man. The musical also does a good job of casting Hamilton with his faults. He simply wanted a seat at the table which was consistently denied to him because of Alexander Hamilton. He is not a true villain in the ways of wanting domination or even truly wanting our hero’s death. The story casts Burr not as a supper villain with a terrible plan from the beginning, but as a normal man with few views and even fewer steady morals.
It puts emphasis on his relationship with Aaron Burr, a mentor turned jealous rival and the man ultimately responsible for Hamilton’s untimely death. The musical follows Hamilton through the ups and downs of the revolution and the upstart of our country. The story line itself was inspiring as well as educational. Although the musical was generally upbeat, it left room for more melancholy songs when needed. The music was youthful in its upbeat and current stature, but still kept all the emotion and vocal range of older musical stiles. The storyline is captivating and keeps audiences interested at every turn.
