Description: Dueling Grounds : Revolution and Revelation in the Musical Hamilton, Paperback by Lodge, Mary Jo (EDT); Laird, Paul R. (EDT), ISBN 0190938854, ISBN-13 9780190938857, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Hamilton opened on Broadway in 2015 and quickly became one of the hottest tickets the industry has ever seen. Lin-Manuel Miranda - who wrote th, lyrics, and music, and created the title role - adapted the show from Ron Chernows biography Alexander Hamilton. Although it seems an unlikely
source for a Broadway musical, Miranda found a liminal space where the life that Hamilton led and the issues that he confronted came alive more than two centuries later while also commenting on contemporary life in the United States and how we view our nations history. With a score largely based on
rap and drawing on other aspects of hip-hop culture, and staged with actors of color playing the white Founding Fathers, Hamilton has much to say about race in the United States today and in our past, but at the same time it leaves important things insufficiently explained, such as the role of women
and people of color in Hamiltons time.
Dueling Grounds: Revolution and Revelation in the Musical Hamilton is a volume that combines the work of theater scholars and practitioners, musicologists, and scholars in such fields as ethnomusicology, history, gender studies, and economics in a multi-faceted approach to the shows varied uses of
liminality, looking at its creation, casting philosophy, dance and movement, costuming, staging, direction, lyrics, music, marketing, and how aspects of race, gender, and class fit into the show and its production. Demonstrating that there is much to celebrate, as well as challenging issues to
confront concerning Hamilton, Dueling Grounds is an uncompromising look at one of the most important musicals of the century.
