In this episode of The Cover, we dive into the revolutionary hit musical Hamilton — but we’re not throwing away our shot at digging deeper. The musical dazzled Broadway, but how closely does it stick to the historical script?

We compare Lin-Manuel Miranda’s lyrical masterpiece with Ron Chernow’s biography of Alexander Hamilton, unpacking:

• The biggest historical omissions and creative liberties

• What the show gets right (and why it matters)

• The real-life drama that’s too wild for a stage

• Burr, Jefferson, and Washington — heroes or hype?

Whether you're a Hamilfan or a history buff, this episode pulls back the curtain on America’s ten-dollar founding father. Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe question everything you thought you knew about the Revolution.
