Ten years after “Hamilton” made its Broadway debut, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning musical has received a deluxe box set that brings together fresh recordings, previously unreleased tracks and behind-the-scenes material.

“Rise Up! Hamilton: The Anthology,” released through Rhino Records and Atlantic, is available in limited-edition seven-LP and five-CD formats. The collection includes the musical’s original 2015 Broadway cast recording, 2016’s chart-topping “The Hamilton Mixtape” and “Hamildrops: The Complete Collection,” the latter of which is receiving its first physical release.

LIMITED-EDITION

Rise Up! Hamilton Anthology

Among the biggest additions is “The HamilTEN Megamix,” a previously unreleased recording of the original Broadway cast’s reunion performance at the 2025 Tony Awards. Featuring a new arrangement by Alex Lacamoire, the medley was recorded live at Radio City Music Hall, where Miranda reunited with original cast members including Leslie Odom Jr., Phillipa Soo, Daveed Diggs and Renée Elise Goldsberry for the show’s 10th anniversary. The performance marked the company’s first onstage reunion since 2016.

The anthology also includes an unreleased demo of Miranda performing “My Shot,” one of the musical’s signature songs.

Designed by Grammy-winning artist Masaki Koike, the collection comes with an 80-page hardcover book featuring previously unseen photos, essays from Lacamoire and Jeremy McCarter, and commentary from cast recording producers Questlove, Black Thought and Bill Sherman. Contributors also include artists featured on “The Hamilton Mixtape” and “Hamildrops,” such as Sia, Regina Spektor and “Weird Al” Yankovic. Additional collectibles include a replica opening-night ticket from the show’s original Off-Broadway run at the Public Theater, a poster and a note from Miranda. The seven-LP edition is pressed on “Copper Black Ice” vinyl.

The release revisits the musical’s success beyond Broadway, where its original cast album became the first cast recording to achieve RIAA Diamond certification. “The Hamilton Mixtape,” which featured interpretations of the show’s songs by artists including Alicia Keys, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Nas, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2016. The subsequent “Hamildrops” series featured recordings from artists including Sara Bareilles, Mobb Deep and former President Barack Obama.

Since opening on Broadway in August 2015, “Hamilton” has won 11 Tony Awards, including best musical, as well as the Pulitzer Prize
