Who *was* Aaron Burr? - Broadway Behind The Curtain

Who was Aaron Burr? Aaron Burr was a key figure in the early years of the United States, serving as the third Vice President under Thomas Jefferson from 1801 to 1805. A multifaceted individual, Burr was not only a politician but also a lawyer and soldier, whose life was marked by both accomplishments and controversies. One of the most defining moments in his life was the infamous duel with Alexander Hamilton in 1804, which resulted in Hamilton's death and significantly impacted Burr's legacy. In the Broadway musical "Hamilton," Burr is portrayed as a complex character, navigating his rivalry with Hamilton and grappling with feelings of overshadowing. The musical's unique blend of hip-hop and traditional show tunes brings Burr's story to life, allowing audiences to connect with him on a deeper level. This portrayal invites viewers to consider his motivations and emotions, showcasing him as a thoughtful and ambitious individual rather than just the man who ended Hamilton's life.
