‘Hamilton’ Joins Roster of Broadway Cast Albums in National Recording Registry: Full List
In a move that further solidifies its cultural impact, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s groundbreaking musical ‘Hamilton’ has been added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. The list recognizes recordings deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” and worthy of preservation.
This marks a milestone moment for Broadway cast albums in general, as they are often overlooked in favor of more traditional music genres like rock, pop, jazz, or classical. By including ‘Hamilton’ alongside other iconic records, the Library of Congress is acknowledging the immense influence these recordings have on our musical heritage.
The full list includes:
1. The Original Cast Recording of ‘Hamilton’ (2015)
2. Rodgers & Hammerstein’s ‘Oklahoma!’ (1953)
