5. It’s Been Able to Break Down Place and Time Barriers

Hamilton’s popularity is largely due to the fact that although it’s set in the 18th century, it’s highly relatable. By dealing with topical issues like isolationism and internationalism, government, and the value of immigrants to society, it’s a story people understand. Add commercially viable dialogue and contemporary rap music and it’s a winner!
