Lin-Manuel Miranda Releases First Draft of HAMILTON's 'Non-Stop'
By: Julie Musbach Dec. 17, 2018
Lin-Manuel Miranda has just released another demo recorded during the early days of Hamilton! Of the track 'Non-Stop' he says, "The first draft of Non-Stop was much more Burr-centric, without regard to the other plot threads I had put in motion. So: Hamilton quotes, incorrect Federalist Paper math, & a HUGE time leap at the end. (I wrote this in Nevis, by the way.) But FUN. Enjoy!"
Listen below:
With book, music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, direction by Thomas Kail, choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical direction and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton is based on Ron Chernow's biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton.
Hamilton is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary War and was the new nation's first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop, jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, Hamiltonis the story of America then, as told by America now.
