During the 2008 vacation, Miranda read the biography of Ron Chernou's Alexander Hamilton, inspired by that book and wrote a lap about the White House poetry party Hamilton on May 12, 2009. It was done in spoken language. Alex Raca Moh is accompanied. Miranda later said that he spent a year writing Hamilton's song "My blow", and each section received numerous modifications to reflect Alexander Hamilton's wisdom. By 2012, Miranda did a series of work based on Hamilton's life, and he called it the Hamilton mixtape; the New York Times called it "a man who changed the rules of the game obviously" I called it.

Therefore, Miranda started a project called Hamilton Mixtape. On May 12, 2009 Miranda was invited to perform Heights' music in the night in the language of the White House poetry, music and the language spoken. Instead, he played the first song of Hamilton mixtape which was a rough version of Hamilton's opening title "Alexander Hamilton". He spent a year on the research of "my shot", another early person of the show. Miranda at Studio Vassar Reading Festival on July 27, 2013 performed a studio production called Hamilton Mixtape. This studio was produced by Thomas Kail and directed by Alex Lacamoire. The seminar included three songs for the first and second scenes of the entire show. The workshop accompanied Rakamoa on the piano

In addition to performance, the "Hamilton" star also held seminars with local students at the White House where they helped expand the essential historical concepts and ideas for teaching material development and exhibitions. Last year, the musical and Rockefeller Foundation, Gilder Lemann American Historical Institute, New York City Education Bureau launched a $ 1.44 million program to provide tickets for "Hamilton" at $ 10 per person to public school students Did. In addition, Miranda and his team collaborated with history and theater courses to create a mini "Hamilton" course for students and teachers. Although the visit of the White House seems to be on an extension of these collaborative work, it is a wonderful effort to use what makes us resonate the history of "Hamilton" with all of us.
