Every active Broadway show was put on hiatus on March 12, 2020. So when Hamilton was performed at the Richard Rogers Theater on September 14, 2021, it had been more than 18 months. In that time, a lot has happened for Hamilton and Lin-Manuel Miranda — the cinematic adaptation of his first Broadway musical, In The Heights, premiered in June 2021. Additionally, the professional recording of the original Broadway cast hit Disney+, ushering in a new wave of fans and popularity.
