  • Who Tells Your Story?: Intersections of Power, Domesticity, and Sexuality Relating to Rap and Song in the Musical Hamilton
    WHO TELLS YOUR STORY?: INTERSECTIONS OF POWER, DOMESTICITY, AND SEXUALITY RELATING TO RAP AND SONG IN THE MUSICAL HAMILTON By Tia Marie Harvey A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Musicology—Master of Arts 2019 ABSTRACT WHO TELLS YOUR STORY?: INTERSECTIONS OF POWER, DOMESTICITY, AND SEXUALITY RELATING TO RAP AND SONG IN THE MUSICAL HAMILTON By Tia Marie Harvey In January 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: An American Musical premiered at The Public Theater in New York City. Later that year it moved to Broadway with an engagement at the Richard Rodgers Theater, followed by productions in Chicago and London. Commercially successful and critically acclaimed, Hamilton continues to hold significant cultural relevance in 2019. As a result of this musical’s cultural significance, it has the ability to communicate positive, but also limiting, aspects of our society. In this thesis, I examine the concept of rap as a musical language of power. To do this, I assert that characters in Hamilton who have power, and particularly when expressing that power, do so through rap. In contrast, when characters don’t have power, or are entering realms of the powerless (i.e. spaces gendered female), they do so through lyrical song. In chapter 1, I set up the divide between rap and song as it primarily translates among male characters and class. Chapter 2 is focused on the domestic sphere, and in chapter 3 I discuss sexuality. In the conclusion of this thesis, I revisit the character of Eliza and explore the perceived power of her role as storyteller and the way in which the themes I discuss illuminate many missed opportunities to present an interpretation of America’s founding that is truly revolutionary.

  • Economic Lessons from the Musical Hamilton
    Economic Lessons from the Musical Hamilton The musical Hamilton is the most popular musical in recent history and might be the best single album one could use to teach economic concepts. We explore how the songs in Hamilton can be used to teach about opportunity cost, trade-offs, time preferences and time-inconsistent preferences, the Federal Reserve System and central banking, economic freedom, and more. We also provide discussion questions that educators could use to teach concepts presented in Hamilton. Matthew C. Rousu† Courtney A. Conrad† †Susquehanna University © 2017 Journal of Economics Teaching. All rights reserved. Rousu and Conrad / Journal of Economics Teaching (2017) 1. Introduction While it is still the primary way instructors are teaching economics, educators are slow- ly shifting away from the traditional “chalk-and-talk” method of instructing (Becker & Watts, 1996, 2001; Becker, Becker, & Watts, 2006; Watts & Schaur, 2011). Some economics instructors are using non-traditional methods to teach, including using works of art (Watts & Christopher, 2012; Al-Bahrani, Holder, Patel, & Wooten, 2016), historical novels (Cotti & Johnson, 2012), mov- ies (Mateer, O’Roark, & Holder, 2016; Mateer & Stephenson, 2011), television series (Kuester, Mateer, & Youderian, 2014; Ghent, Grant & Lesica, 2011), and social media (Al-Bahrani & Patel, 2015). By incorporating these alternative methods, educators are attempting to better reach their students. Yet another way teachers are innovating is by using music in their courses, and many in- structors have touted the benefits of this practice (Lawson, Hall, & Mateer, 2008; Krasnozhon, 2013; Tinari & Khandke, 2000; Hall & Lawson, 2008; Holder, Hoffer, Al-Bahrani, & Lindahl, 2015). To this point, economists touting the use of music to teach have illustrated how multiple songs from multiple sources can be used.

  • Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story?: Gendered Legacies in Hamilton
    Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story?: Gendered Legacies in Hamilton JESSICA SEYMOUR Hamilton: An American Musical, written, composed by, and starring Lin- Manuel Miranda, made its Broadway debut in August 2015. Since then, Hamilton has won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a record-breaking sixteen Tony Award nominations. Miranda also received a $625,000 MacArthur Fellowship, more commonly referred to as a “Genius Grant”. Hamilton has been heralded as a game-changer for Broadway musicals, starring a racially- diverse cast and supported by contemporary music styles including rap, hip hop, and jazz. It is one of the most popularly successful musicals in recent memory, inspired by the life and times of American founding-father Alexander Hamilton. One of the key themes in the Hamilton musical is the concept of legacy. In historical terms, a legacy is handed down from one generation to another. Glenn Llopis writes in an article for Forbes that leaving a legacy should be a key concern for leaders who want to perform to the best of their ability in business: “The best leadership legacies are a consequence of success coming to those who are surrounded by people that want their success to continue.” Other authors and analysts (see Kerr, Wallace, Hunt, Galford and Maruca) write that workers can and should tailor their careers to suit the personal legacy they wish to leave behind. In a Time magazine interview written by JJ Abrams, Lin-Manuel Miranda stated that he has been preoccupied with legacy “since [he] was a kid”: We have this amount of time.

Alexander Hamilton BURR How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean by providence, impoverished, in squalor, grow up to be a hero and a scholar? LAURENS The ten-dollar founding father without a father got a lot farther by working a lot harder, by being a lot smarter, by being a self-starter, by fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter. JEFFERSON And every day while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up. Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of, the brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow or barter. MADISON Then a hurricane came, and devastation reigned, our man saw his future drip, dripping down the drain, put a pencil to his temple, connected it to his brain, and he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain. BURR Well, the word got around, they said, “This kid is insane, man” took up a collection just to send him to the mainland. “Get your education, don’t forget from whence you came, and the world is gonna know your name.
