Hamilton Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Exclusive 'My Shot' Video Premiere on TODAY
The Broadway musical "Hamilton" is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a new video release of the song "My Shot," set to premiere exclusively on TODAY on November 24.

Trey Curtis, who plays Alexander Hamilton, delivers the song's bold lyrics with confidence, embodying the spirit of the young and ambitious Hamilton.
"Hamilton," inspired by Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton, was created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also originated the role of Hamilton. The musical delves into Hamilton's journey during the American Revolution and his subsequent role as the secretary of the treasury, exploring his complex relationship with U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr. Directed by Thomas Kail, with choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler and musical supervision by Alex Lacamoire, "Hamilton" premiered on August 6, 2015, at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
Having garnered 11 Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, "Hamilton" has been celebrating its milestone anniversary this year. The original Broadway cast reunited in June for a special performance at the Tonys, while the current cast marked the occasion with an invite-only anniversary event in August. A filmed performance of "Hamilton" was released in 2016 and made its debut at the Delacorte Theater in September 2025, with a subsequent release on Disney+ in 2020.
Leslie Odom Jr., who portrayed Aaron Burr in the original production and won a Tony for his performance, returned to the Richard Rodgers Stage this year to reprise his role. Lin-Manuel Miranda expressed his excitement over the enduring success of "Hamilton" during an interview with NBC's Morgan Radford, emphasizing the thrill of the continued impact of the musical.
