Beneath michelangelos masterpiece, youll hear the soaring, sacred music. From the oldest choir in the world. Im hall of famer, jerry west, and my life is basketball. But that doesnt stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. Thatd be devastating. I took warfarin for over 15 years. Until i learned more about oncedaily xarelto®. A latestgeneration blood thinner. Then i made the switch. Xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. Warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective. Targeting one critical factor of your bodys natural clotting function. For people with afib currently wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. To help protect yourself from a stroke, o®. Insurance changes . Xarelto® has you covered.

Welcome to 60 minutes presents. Tonight, front row seats for extraordinary musical performances, both on broadway and in rome. We begin with an encore presentation of our story about the breakthrough musical, hamilton. While the original cast has moved on, the show is thriving, opening in cities across the country. And its creator, 37yearold Linmanuel Miranda, is collecting awards, writing, acting and songwriting, the same hard work that led to his masterpiece. We originally broadcast this story 16 months ago, shortly after Opening Night on broadway. Tonight, youll see an expanded version that includes more of the remarkable performances, and more about hamilton himself, who was one of the most brilliant figures in American History. Linmanuel miranda the thing about hamilton is he spoke in paragraphs. So the opening sentence of our show is this crazy runon sentence 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, comma, grow up to be a hero and a scholar . Thats the question were going to answer for the next two hours and 45 minutes. Alexander hamilton im past patiently waitin im passionately smashin every expectation every actions an act of creation. Rose in hamilton, the answers come fast. Hamilton first time im thinking past tomorrow and im not throwing away my shot rose my shot is the shows anthem as hamilton arrives in new york city during the American Revolution and sees his opportunity. Cast rise up rise up, take a shot take a shot, not throwing away my shot Linmanuel Miranda it took me a year to write my shot, which is hamiltons big i want song. Rose it took you a year. Linmanuel miranda yeah. Because every couplet needed to be the best couplet i ever wrote. Thats how. Thats how seriously i was taking it. Rose hamilton demands lots from you. Linmanuel miranda yes. Rose i mean, he is calling on your best. Linmanuel miranda hes calling on my best. Because he is the smartest guy in the room. So, i have to write from the perspective of the smartest guy in the room, when the other people are jefferson and washington and very smart guys. Sir, entrust me with a command. Rose hamilton was front and center at nearly every major event in early American History. Aaron burr man, the man is nonstop rose he never became president , but had a bigger impact than many who did. George washington let me tell you what i wished i had known. Rose his mentor was George Washington, played here by chris jackson, who plucked hamilton out of the ranks and relied on him for 20 years. Thomas jefferson so what did i miss . What did i miss . Rose daveed diggs originated the role of thomas jefferson, hamiltons primary political opponent. Jefferson ive been in paris meeting lots of different ladies i guess i basically missed the late 80s. Hamilton the bullets out your gun the bullets out your gun. Rose the show reflects mirandas broad musical taste, but hip hop and rap define it. Your music is hip hop. Your music is rap. Linmanuel miranda yes. And i also believe that form is uniquely suited to tell hamiltons story. Because it has more words per measure than any other musical genre. It has rhythm and it has density. His writings, it was this density. Angelica schyuler im a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich my father has no sons so im the one who has to social climb for one so im the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in new york city is insidious. Rose miranda wrote this for hamiltons sisterinlaw, angelica schyuler, played by reneeElise Goldsberry. Schyuler and we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world rose in hamilton, women get equal time. Schuylers work, work angelica work, work eliza work, work the schuyler sisters hamilton just you wait. Alexander hamilton. Rose the idea to cast black and Latino Actors to play the founders was deliberate. Miranda wanted to connect america then with america now. Cast you can never back down and never learn to take your time ooohh Alexander HamiltonAlexander Hamilton yorks Public Theater fireworks and was greeted with fireworks over the hudson when it opened on broadway. Linmanuel miranda i come up here in the opening number. Rose the show has already reached the loftiest heights. In 16 months at the Richard Rodgers theater, hamilton has established itself as broadways impossible ticket, with premium seating selling for nearly 1,000 each, and those lucky enough to get in, never know who might be next to them. The president of the United States . Linmanuel miranda at our sixth preview. Rose the Vice President of the United States. Linmanuel miranda yes. Its put my dreams to shame. Yeah. Its, its super, super humbling and when you list those boldface names that have come to see the show, i see those as an opportunity to see the show with fresh eyes while im doing it. When dick cheneys sitting in the audience, i think, what is he thinking when he hears the lyric, history has ey you know, when the president is here, what is he thinking as he sees George Washington say, i have to step down so the country can move on . Rose hamilton was a complicated figure war hero, famous philanderer, political thinker, mudslinging politician, and the nations first treasury secretary. Ron chernow he creates the first fiscal system, first monetary system, first customs service, first central bank, on, and on, and on. Rose ron chernow wrote the biography that inspired the musical, and is the shows historical advisor. Chernow heres the story of a penniless, orphaned, immigrant kid who comes out of nowhere and sets the world on fire. And his achievements were absolutely monumental. Rose you say he came out of nowhere. Where is nowhere . Chernow he was born on the island of nevis. He spent his adolescence in st. Croix. His father abandoned the family when alexander was 11. His mother died when he was 13. When he came to north america, he didnt know a soul. Linmanuel miranda this is inwood. This is where i grew up. We were still playing dominoes on the street. Rose it is a story miranda could relate to. His father graduated college at 18 in puerto rico and moved to manhattan. Luis miranda became a prominent political consultant. His wife luz, a psychologist. Luis miranda luz and i, we have always known that this kid was destined for greatness. Rose hes looking down. Luis miranda my only concern was always, is his greatness going to come with money, so he can survive forever . Rose when did you see the musical talent . Luis miranda always. Luz townsmiranda from the time he was tiny luis miranda always. Luz townsmiranda he loved to sing. He was always creating and he loved words and songs. Rose at five, miranda tested into Hunter College elementary, a school for highly gifted children where, he told us, Linmanuel Miranda you know, i went to a school where everyone was smarter than me. And im not blowing smoke, i, my, i was surrounded by genius, genius kids. Whats interesting about growing up in a culture like that is you go, all right, i got to figure out what my thing is. Because i am not smarter than these kids. I am not funnier than half of them, so i better figure out what it is i want to do and work really hard at that. And because intellectually, im treading water to, to be here. Rose so why do you think im sitting here talking to you and not sitting here talking to one of your classmates . Linmanuel miranda because i picked a lane and i started running ahead of everybody else. So i, thats the honest answer. It was like, i was like, all right, this. Rose this was theater. He was in practically every school play. Linmanuel miranda this is upstairs. This is really where we grew up. Rose the family didnt have a lot of money to see broadway shows, but they did collect cast albums, and miranda consumed them. Camelot, follow me, the lusty month of may. Linmanuel miranda lusty month of may. The, all of the wordplay. If you may take me to the fair. Youll thrash and bash him . Ill smash and mash him . You will, you know, he will be trouble, he will be rubble. laughs rose if ever i would leave you. Linmanuel miranda it would not be in springtime, knowing how in spring im bewitched by you so. Rose how can you have so many songs in your head . Linmanuel miranda because i had a lot of time on my hands. Rose so many songs in your head. Linmanuel miranda um, yeah, well, these were. Rose do you have room for anything else in your head . Linmanuel miranda i mean, i dont know my Social Security number. Rose he graduated from Wesleyan University in 2002 with a degree in theater arts. Thats where he began working on a show about his old neighborhood. Lottery ticket, just part of the routine everybodys got a job everybodys got a dream. Rose it turned into mirandas first broadway show. In the heights won the 2008 tony for best musical. Two months later, he picked up vacation. Linmanuel miranda this is what i knew from high school. I knew hamilton died in a duel with the Vice President. I knew he was on the 10 bill. But really, i was just browsing the biography section. It could have been truman. Rose and as you read it, what happened . Linmanuel miranda i was thunderstruck. I got to the part where, you know, a hurricane destroys st. Croix where hamilton is living. And he writes a poem about the carnage and this poem gets him off the island. Rose you saw a rap artist in him. Linmanuel miranda yes. I drew a direct line between hamiltons writing his way out of his circumstances, and the rappers i had grown up adoring. Its biggie and jayz writing about growing up in the marcy projects in brooklyn. Its eminem writing about growing up white in detroit. Its writing about that struggle, and paradoxically, your writing being so good it gets you out. Im thrilled that the white house called me. Rose nine months after reading the book, he was invited to the white house to perform a song from in the heights. He decided to take a risk. Linmanuel miranda i am actually working on a hip hop album. Its a concept album about the life of someone who i think embodies hip hop treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton. laughter you laugh . But its true rose so when you did it, and you look at the video now. Linmanuel miranda i see a terrified young puerto rican man. Rose do you really . Linmanuel miranda terrified. Because theres the leader of the free world, newlyelected leader of the free world. His entire family. Theres biden. The 10 founding father without a father rose but as he began the story, the room was mesmerized. Linmanuel miranda moved in with a cousin the cousin committed suicide left him with nothing but ruined pride something new inside a voice saying alex, you gotta fend for yourself he started retreatin and readin every treatise on the shelf there would have been nothin left to do for someone less astute he woulda been dead or destitute without a cent or restitution started workin, clerkin, for his late mothers landlord tradin sugarcane and rum and all the things he cant afford. That videos a microcosm of my entire hamilton experience. I say, hip hop, Alexander Hamilton, and everyone laughs. And then, by the end, they are not laughing. Because they are in it. Because they have been sucked into the story, just like i got sucked into the story. When we finally drive the british away lafayette is waiting in Chesapeake Bay rose mirandas gift is bringing that story to todays audiences, reminding them whom to thank for building this nation. Hamilton how you say, no sweat we are finally on the field. We have had quite a run. Lafayette immigrants. Hamilton lafayette we get the job done. Linmanuel miranda theres a lot of ways in, right . If youre scared of hip hop or you thought hip hop was not music for you, we are going to give you king george, who sings a britishinvasionstyle song from the 60s. Rose thats a showstopper, too. Linmanuel miranda its a showstopper. And its a breath. King george iii you say the price of my love is not a price that youre willing to pay. Rose the british king, scoffs at the colonists and european immigrants trying to go it alone. King george iii youll be back soon youll see youll remember you belong to me youll be back time will tell you remember that i served you well oceans rise empires fall we have seen each other through it all Linmanuel Miranda whats interesting about that role, and i didnt even really anticipate it when i was writing it, the king becomes the audiences surrogate. As they watch this country being formed in front of their eyes, and the king goes, wait. You are really going to keep changing leaders . Wait, what are you going to do now the war is over . Rose or, youre going to come back. Linmanuel miranda oh, you will be back. laughter he speaks to the country as if it was a girlfriend he didnt treat well. King george iii cause when push comes to shove i will kill your friends and family to remind you of my love. Da da da dat da da da da da ya da da dat da ya da Linmanuel Miranda i think the secret sauce of this show is that i cant believe this story is true. Its such an improbable and amazing story, and i learned about it while i was writing it. And i think that enthusiasm is baked into the recipe. Rose some of the other cast members, and the story of the duel that ended hamiltons life, when we come back. Cbs money watch update sponsored by lincoln financial. Youre in charge.

Rose a year and a half ago, the Broadway Musical hamilton struck like a cultural earthquake, shaking up the worlds of theater, music and American History all at the same time. It even seems to have altered our money, after the Treasury Department scrapped plans to remove Alexander Hamiltons face from the 10 bill. The man responsible is lin manuel miranda, who, along with the rest of the original cast, has moved on, while the show lives on. In this encore pnt show you how miranda took stories from history and made them accessible to todays audience. Linmanuel miranda i think we take great pains to knock all these guys off their pedestals. Rose yeah, you do. Linmanuel miranda this is washington, impatient and yelling, are these men with which i am to defend america . Which he did as he was fleeing new york thats a quote. This is jefferson and hamilton squabbling. George washington the issue on the table rose the tenor of their politics will sound familiar too. Hamiltons debate with jefferson over how to pay off the revolutionary war debt was so intense, miranda stages it as a rap battle. Washington are you ready for a Cabinet Meeting . Rose with washington as referee. Thomas jefferson in virginia we plant seeds in the ground we create you just wanna move our money around this Financial Plan is an outrageous demand and its too many damn pages for any man to understand stand with me in the land of the free pray to god we never see hamiltons candidacy look imagine whats going to happen when you try to tax our whiskey . Washington thank you, secretary jefferson Alexander Hamilton thomas, that was a real nice declaration welcome to the present were running a real nation would you like to join us or stay mellow doing whatever the hell it is you do in monticello a civics lesson from a slaver, hey, neighbor your debts are paid because you dont pay for labor we plant seeds in the south, we create keep ranting we know whos really doing the planting rose hamiltons combative nature made him monumental enemies, including president s adams, jefferson, madison and monroe. All downplayed hamiltons achievements and diminished his legacy. The only one to fare worse in the eyes of history was hamiltons killer, Vice President aaron burr. Miranda gives him a starring role. Burr becomes your narrator . Linmanuel miranda yes. Rose because you need, what . Linmanuel miranda well, one, i need balance. Hamilton would be y rose in paragraphs and paragraphs. Linmanuel miranda in paragraphs and paragraphs. And also, burr is the mirror image of hamilton. Hes also orphaned at a young age. Speeds through college. Speeds through princeton in two years. Starts at 13. Age 13. Rose just as smart as hamilton . Linmanuel miranda just as smart as hamilton. But every time hamilton says go, burr says stop. Hes just cautious. Aaron burr hamilton doesnt hesitate. Rose burr was originally played by leslie odom, jr. Burr he takes and he takes and he takes and he keeps winning anyway changes the game plays and raises the stakes and if theres a reason he seems to thrive and so few survive then goddamit im willing to wait for it im willing to wait for it rose miranda explores the rivalry between burr and hamilton. From friends, to competitors, to political rivals. In one song, they finally become enemies. Burr i, i wanna be in the room where it happens the room where it happens Linmanuel Miranda room where it happens was the toughest jigsaw puzzle ive ever done. Rose a puzzle explaining how hamilton, jefferson and madison made a backroom deal to move the u. S. Capital from new york city to washington d. C. In 1790. In the musical, this becomes the final straw for the man left out. Burr ive gotta be ive got to be in the room the big old room the art of the compromise hold your nose and close your eyes Linmanuel Miranda im both trying to explain this very complicated compromise that happened behind closed doors, and what makes it exciting in the context of our story is, were telling it from the perspective of the one guy who wasnt there aaron burr. He says, these guys just traded away the capitol of our country in exchange for an unprecedented Financial Plan. That none of us were at. None of us had any say in the decision. Rose the room where it happens. Linmanuel miranda the room where it happens. Burr ensemble ive got to be in the room where it happened the room where it happened i gotta be i gotta be in the rooooomm click boom rose for years, the story of burr and hamilton was hidden away in places like this, the New York Historical society library. It holds many of their original writings. This is where historian ron chernow researched the biography that inspired miranda. Ron chernow Linmanuel Miranda, i think, was smart enough to know that the best way to dramatize this story was to stick as close to the facts as possible. You want violence . Theres violence in the story. You want s . Rose you want power, theres power in the story . Chernow you want power, in the story. This has all of the ingredients. Rose including the story of hamiltons political downfall. It began with a yearlong affair with a young woman named maria reynolds. It turned into the nations first bona fide sex scandal. Chernow i think that what makes the whole story so bizarre and unbelievable is that hamilton ended up paying blackmail money to mr. Reynolds. And this at a time when hamilton was not just the treasury secretary, but he was effectively, like, the Prime Minister of washingtons government. So he was the most powerful man in the government. Rose when he was exposed, hamilton did something no one expected he confessed everything. Chernow he wrote a 95page pamphlet, when even his closest friends thought that a delicatelyworded paragraph or two would have done the trick. Rose i apologize, i made a mistake. Chernow and that would have done it. Jefferson madison Alexander Hamilton had a torrid affair right there highlights rose in the show, miranda uses hamiltons own words from what became known as the reynolds pamphlet. Jefferson madison burr i had frequent meetings with her most of them at my own house at his own house at his own house damn rose the scandal was one big reason there was never a president hamilton. Jefferson madison burr never gonna be president now aint never gonna be president now thats one less thing to worry about Leslie Odom Jr hes made these dead white guys make sense to a bunch of, you know, black and brown people. Hes made them make sense in the context of our time, with our music. Rose we spoke last fall with some of mirandas most important collaborators former cast members leslie odom, jr. ; renee Elise Goldsberry; daveed diggs;3 philippa soo; and chris jackson. What is it that connects . What are you hearing . What is it thats resonating in these audiences . Christopher jackson theres happening in this story that its almost impossible to peg, i think, its just the music, or its just the movement, or its the lights, or its the staging. And it could be any number of those things. Or all of those things. Rose these are good female roles too, arent they . Renee Elise Goldsberry yes, they are. One of the things thats exciting to me about playing Angelica Schuyler and feeling so powerful and knowing the time that we live in, with hillary running for president we get to show who the founding mothers are and what they did. They were not just sewing flags. They were actually the muse, like Angelica Schuyler was to jefferson and to hamilton. Rose daveed, you said it gives you something you didnt have before ownership of your own history . Daveed diggs yeah, yeah. I mean, this is the only time ive ever felt particularly american, is in the last, like, eight months that ive been working on this. Rose hamilton came back to life at a time when politics and immigration are the hottest topics in america, but it was it a juggernaut. When you write, i mean, i have been told you write, and if its sad, tears come to your eyes. Youre in the moment, to express yourself. Linmanuel miranda yeah. I think of acting and writing as pretty much the same thing. Its all about getting inside the skin of your characters, and seeing where they are, and knowing how theyve grown up. You have to know all this, like, in your bones, what theyve come up against, who they are. And then you just Start Talking as them. And you write until the rust comes out of the faucet and its clear water. And you write down the clear water. Rose because the clear water is the perfection at the end of this. Linmanuel miranda well, its the stuff that feels true. Chernow the bullet hit him, actually, on the right side. Rose most people already know how the story of Alexander Hamilton ends. He died in 1804 in a duel with aaron burr in weehawkin, new jersey. By then, burr was a lame duck Vice President. Hamilton, just shy of his 50th birthday, was practicing law. How could that happen . Chernow dueling revolved around honor. You were protecting your honor. Rose but here are two men, theyre not ordinary politicians. They have a lot to lose. Chernow here were two politicians with their careers in decline, who thought that they would establish their courage and manhood on the dueling ground. Burr was feeling very, very frustrated. It seemed like at every turn Alexander Hamilton was there, you know, blocking his path. Linmanuel miranda he writes in a letter before the duel, he said, there was no way this could have been avoided. We have been circling each other for a while. It was always going to come to this. Rose this was going to happen. Linmanuel miranda this was going to be happen. They are fundamentally different men. And they run in concentric circles until they meet. Tommy kail and everything around them is moving. Rose miranda and director tommy kail staged the intensifying rivalry between the two men. Ahhh. Linmanuel miranda yeah, its pretty cool, right . Rose its really cool. The turntable was essential. Kait propulsion of the show to continue, to continue this insistence of movement that hamilton had in his life. Hamitlon i imagine death so much it feels more like a memory. Rose many historians, including chernow, believe hamilton deliberately fired into the air, throwing away his shot. Wait rose it is a fatal miscalculation. Burr i hear wailing in the streets somebody tells me, you better hide they say angelica and eliza were both by his side when he died Linmanuel Miranda heres the thing about hamilton. I think hamilton was ready to die from the time he was 14 years old. I think what he has is what i have, which is that thing of, tomorrows not promised. I got to get as much done as i can. clapping rose its not only good acting. Its not only good music. Linmanuel miranda its certainly changed my life. But i think its because when great people cross our path, and im talking about hamilton here, it forces us to reckon with what were doing with our lives, you know . At my age, hamilton was treasury secretary and creating our Financial System from scratch. Rose and building a country . Linmanuel miranda yeah. I wrote two plays.

Rose it is the oldest choir in the world. Evidence of its existence dates back to the seventh century. Today, its called the Sistine Chapel choir, but is more commonly known as the popes choir. Thats because its at the popes side for all of the important papal celebrations. As we first reported in december, the choir performed in st. Peters basilica during the popes Christmas Eve mass. The choir also sang at a private mass at the vatican honoring the 80th birthday of pope francis. The choir may be dedicated to the pope, but historically, it has held concerts on its own, especially at its home base, the magnificent Sistine Chapel. Michelangelos breathtaking frescoes in one of the worlds greatest wonders, where we recently attended a concert staged by the popes choir. gloria from palestrinas missa Papae Marcelli the music is sacred, contemplative, mystical. It soars whether in concert at the Sistine Chapel or during mass next door at st. Peters when the pope presides, the choir provides a holy soundtrack made up of 30 boys and 22 men. The choir helps spread the popes message. Mark spyropoulos we have a job to inspire people. They may not understand a word of whats going on at the vatican, but when they hear us singing, we have to direct them to consider something which is transcendent and divine. Thats our job. Rose mark spyropoulos, a baritone from britain; Vittorio Catarci, a bass from italy; and cezary arkadiusz stoch, a tenor from poland, consider themselves more than just voices of the pope. What does it mean that youre called the popes choir . Catarci well, we are, we are. Stoch the family. Catarci popes family. Rose popes family. Catarci yes. His personal choir. Rose pope francis is the most popular pope in a generation. He spends much time tending to the poor and the dispossessed. It is this humility that also makes his choir feel at home, as Mark Spyropolous learned when he joined last year. Spyropolous when i first met him, the whole thing was completely overwhelming. And he said, youre from london. laughs well, welcome to the vatican, like this. And i was expecting, you know, sort of. I was so welcomed by this. I. It was very surprising and very impressed by quite how. What a personal touch he had. Rose as it tours italy, performing in some of the countrys great cathedrals, the choir sings in harmony. cremona concert, allegris miserere but until recently, the popes choir wasnt worthy of the name or the settings where it sang. For decades, the choir lacked cohesion. Many members came from opera and made sure they were heard. The choir was called the sistine screamers. Catarci we were aware that we were singing too loud. Rose Vittorio Catarci remembers the era of the booming voices. Hes been with the choir for 30 years, and three popes. Can you sing for me the difference between the way it was and the way it is now . Catarci oh, for example we used to sing sicut cervus. And now we sing sicut cervus. Its completely different because we are looking for a very spiritual sound, not a meaty sound. Rose the choir turned around after maestro Massimo Palombella was hired in 2010, only the sixth man to be appointed director of the popes choir in 200 years. Palombella translated i didnt have to invent a sound, i had to rediscover a sound which was the sound the choir once produced in the Sistine Chapel. Rose palombella went back to the past, combining hightech and ancient texts. He studied endlessly, looking for the precise vocal range that palestrina originally intended when he wrote the sacred music that provides the bulk of the choirs repertoire. Palestrina composed his music with the Sistine Chapel in mind after michelangelo had finished painting his masterpiece.
