Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton is celebrating its tenth anniversary with the release of a deluxe box set, titled 'Rise Up! Hamilton: The Anthology'. This limited-edition collection includes a 7LP and 5CD version, featuring the original Broadway cast recording, the Hamilton Mixtape, and Hamildrops: The Complete Collection, which is making its physical debut. The box set also includes a previously unreleased 'The HamilTEN Megamix', recorded live by the original Broadway cast during the 2025 Tony Awards. The performance marked the first time the original cast had reunited since 2016. The box set is designed with a deluxe packaging, featuring an 80-page book with previously unseen photos and new essays from Alex Lacamoire, Jeremy McCarter, Chris Hayes, and Riggs Morales. The book also includes reflections from the original Broadway cast and insights from cast recording producers Tarik 'Black Thought' Trotter, Ahmir 'Questlove' Thompson, and Bill Sherman, alongside notes from Mixtape and Hamildrops artists such as Sia, 'Weird Al' Yankovic, and Regina Spektor. The collection also includes a note from Miranda, the libretto, a poster, and a replica opening night ticket from The Public Theater. The numbered LP version is pressed on 'Copper Black Ice' vinyl and includes a collectible black 7" vinyl single featuring the unreleased 'HamilTEN Megamix' and 'My Shot (Demo)', plus a custom slipmat and 7" wooden adapter. Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording) is the only Diamond-certified cast album and the biggest-selling of all time, having won Grammy and Billboard Music Awards and remaining in the Billboard 200 for a record-breaking 500 weeks and counting. The Hamilton Mixtape debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts in 2016 with new interpretations of songs by artists such as Alicia Keys, Usher, and Kelly Clarkson. Hamildrops arrived in monthly installments starting in 2017 throughout 2018, offering new takes on the score from a diverse array of artists like 'Weird Al' Yankovic, Mobb Deep, and Sara Bareilles. The project concluded with the star-studded 'One Last Time (44 Remix)', featuring Christopher Jackson, legendary gospel singer BeBe Winans, and the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. Hamildrops: The Complete Collection is presented here on physical media for the first time.
