"Photographer Josh Lehrer offers more than 100 intimate portraits of the cast and creative talent behind the landmark musical Hamilton. This is just the second official book connected to the show and it combines Lehrer's startling imagery with anecdotes from the cast, ephemera not seen before and introductory remarks by director Thomas Kail and Lin-Manuel Miranda himself. [This project is] classy, distinguished and well worth the wait." -BROADWAY DIRECT
