Miranda's musical is motivated by a sense that Hamilton has traditionally been (the most overlooked and misunderstood founding father.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The reason why the musical Hamilton is so important because it just broke the Tonys record, having been nominated for 16 Tony Awards, an honor that was previously held by both “The Producers” and “Billy Elliot” with 15 nominations each. Or maybe it’s because Lin-Manuel Miranda — who wrote the music, books and lyrics for the show and also stared in the titular role — also earned the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his work. It could also be the fact that the musical has revolutionized what people consider “musical theatre” thanks to the rhythms and language of hip-hop and R&B that infuse the compelling score.
