On last night's LATE NIGHT, guest Neil Patrick Harris talked about his love for Broadway's Hamilton and about the night he brought his kids to see it. "I'm a fan of Lin-Manuel Miranda as a person, I'm a fan of the original cast, I'm a fan of the current cast, I'm a fan of the fact that he can take musical theater and hip hop and combine it in a way that's not only exciting but historical." Watch clips from the appearance below!
The new musical Hamilton has book, music and lyrics by Tony and Grammy Award-winning composerLin-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 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.
