Pre-Order the Original Broadway Cast Recording of HAMILTON Today

Atlantic Records will release "HAMILTON (ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING)," the musical companion to the critically acclaimed Broadway show, "HAMILTON." "HAMILTON (ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING)" is available for pre-order at all DSPs today, August 7th, one day after the show's official Broadway opening night at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 W. 46 St.). The album will be released at all retailers this fall, with an official date to be announced.

"HAMILTON (ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST RECORDING)" is executive produced by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, founding members of the Grammy Award winning hip-hop band, The Roots.

"Ten minutes into 'HAMILTON,' though, I was just so stunned. It was such a sucker punch," raves Thompson, reflecting on seeing the show for the first time, while Trotter highlights that the show, "can be your introduction to hip-hop on Broadway. And it's a valid one. It's a credible one."

"HAMILTON" has book, music and lyrics by Tony and Grammy Award-winning composer Lin Manuel Miranda, who also plays the title role. The musical is directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and music direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire. "HAMILTON" is inspired by Ron Chernow's biography "Alexander Hamilton."

"HAMILTON" which recently transferred to Broadway following a sold-out run at The Public Theater in NYC is the acclaimed new musical about the scrappy young immigrant Alexander Hamilton, the $10 Founding Father who forever changed America with his revolutionary ideas and actions. During his life cut too short, he served as George Washington's chief aide, was the first Treasury Secretary, a loving husband and father, despised by his fellow Founding Fathers and shot to death by Aaron Burr in their legendary duel.

"HAMILTON" has received several accolades including an outstanding 10 Lucille Lortel Awards.
