FIRST LISTEN: Miranda, Hargitay Read from HAMILTON: THE REVOLUTION Audiobook!

EW has an exclusive first listen to the highly anticipated audiobook Hamilton: THE REVOLUTION, which hit bookshelves yesterday, April 12th. Check it out at left!

In the audio clips, Hamilton star and creator Lin-Manuel Miranda reads 'Act One' while actress Mariska Hargitay reads the prose. Miranda specifically recruited the Law & Order: SVU star for the project after learning of her passion for the musical.

Last month, Hargitay told EW, "I'm hard-pressed to express how thrilled and honored I am to do this. Lin-Manuel's Hamilton enthralls me, and to think that I get to play a part in telling the story of how this masterpiece came into existence, it's really just a lot to take in."

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.
