Audible Offers Free HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION Audiobook Today

HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION, co-authored by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter, was released earlier this week, and so far, the book's popularity has matched the show's popularity itself, delighting readers around the world and selling out with a 9-12 day wait on Amazon.

But today, Amazon announced a special offer: a free audio version of the book, widely known as the Hamiltome, with a 30-day free trial of Audible.

HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION gives readers an unprecedented view of both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Miranda, along with Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages--"since before this was even a show," according to Miranda--traces its development from an improbable perfor­mance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here.

Their account features photos by the renowned Frank Ockenfels and veteran Broadway photographer, Joan Marcus; exclusive looks at notebooks and emails; interviews with Questlove, Stephen Sond­heim, leading political commentators, and more than 50 people involved with the production; and multiple appearances by Presi­dent Obama himself. The book does more than tell the surprising story of how a Broadway musical became a national phenomenon: It demonstrates that America has always been renewed by the brash upstarts and brilliant outsiders, the men and women who don't throw away their shot.
