How Does Hamilton Work? (feat. Technicality)

We all know how a bastard orphan grew up to be a hero and scholar, but how did Lin-Manuel Miranda use music to help tell that story? Why does Hamilton sound like one complete piece of art, instead of 46 unrelated songs? And what can examining the underlying structure of Broadway's record-breaking hit teach us about the way musicals work and the stories they tell? We're tackling all that and more with the help of Alex Nickel from the youtube channel Technicality! Plus, when you're done here, make sure to check out the video we made over on Alex's channel about the Kendrick Lamar song Humble: https://youtu.be/cI_to300U5k Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/12tonevideos Merchandise Store: http://12tonevideos.storenvy.com/ Mailing List: http://eepurl.com/bCTDaj Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/12tonevideos Twitter: https://twitter.com/12tonevideos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/12tonevideos/ Email: 12tonevideos@gmail.com Last: https://youtu.be/pxFYacJXG8I Motifs video: https://youtu.be/cT05-mrSnhg Rhymes video: https://youtu.be/ToOqsk8m220 Sources: https://genius.com/8008264 https://twitter.com/hayhoffman/status/650687524118134784 https://genius.com/Lin-manuel-miranda-youll-be-back-lyrics Transcription sources: https://musescore.com/user/1321251/scores/3780531 https://www.scribd.com/doc/312514828/wait-for-it-pdf https://musescore.com/user/1581776/scores/3554186 https://www.sheetmusicdirect.us/sheetmusic/song/1000224752/its-quiet-uptown?redirect=1 Huge thanks to our gold-level Patreon supporters: Ron Jones Jill Jones Susan Jones Howard Levine Elaine Pratt Ken Arnold Nakarin: https://www.youtube.com/user/jerom09666 Mark Yachnin Gabi Ghita Kaylor Hodges Nicholas Kehonen Joe Mensor William (Bill) Boston Dialup Salesman Nicolas Mendoza Justin Donnell: https://www.youtube.com/user/jsterj1 And thanks as well to Henry Reich, Logan Jones, Eugene Bulkin, Abram Thiessen, Anna Work, Oliver, Jc Bq, Adam Neely, Jon I, nico, David Zahara, Harold Gonzales, Lucas van Loomis, Michael Fieseler, Rick Lees, Ben LaRose, Marc Himmelberger, Chris Borland,rhandhom1, jason black, Dutreuilh Olivier, Scott Lavoie, Olivia Andersson, Jason Mantei, Nick Olman, Daniel Carleton, Joey Strandquist, Daniel Gilchrist, billy roberts, Elliot Burke, Alex Atanasyan, Davis Sprague, Amlor, Miles Strand, PlayTheMind, Noah Quilantan, Greg Borenstein, Tim S., David Tocknell, and Elias Simon!
