Travis Follow this and additional works at: http://digitalcommons.uconn.edu/dissertations Hamilton: A Musical Analysis of Ensemble Function Matthew Louis Travis, DMA The University of Connecticut, 2017 Abstract There have been exhaustive studies on the presence of chorus in opera, there has been little writing on the musical theater ensemble.1 To date, the only specific piece of academic scholarship on the matter is Joseph DeLorenzo’s 1985 dissertation, The Chorus in American Musical Theater: An Emphasis on Choral Performance. Because there are very few graduate programs in musical theater, and currently none at the doctoral level, there has been little scholarly writing about this art form as a whole and even less scholarship specific to ensemble function completed in the last 30 years. Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of the most successful Broadway productions in recent memory. While the work has gained fame for unparalleled box office success and celebrity appearances; the show is equally significant as a work of art. Almost universally acclaimed by critics, Hamilton has won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, while receiving a record 16 Tony nominations winning 11, winning the George Washington Book Prize and Kennedy Prize for Drama.
