Hamilton has 46 songs across its original Broadway recording, 23 in Act One and 23 in Act Two. Below, each act is listed in order, and three songs are linked to verdicts we have already published on the history behind them.
Checked November 2026: Wikipedia's "Hamilton (album)" entry for the track list, and the Apple Music album listing for the number of songs.
These are the 23 Act One tracks, in order on the original recording; more on each character is in our character guide, which covers each major character as the musical uses them.
These are the 23 Act Two tracks, in order:
Each verdict below answers the exact question published in our guide to whether Hamilton is historically accurate.
"Satisfied" covers Angelica Schuyler's decision at her sister's wedding. On whether Angelica Schuyler was single when she met Hamilton, our verdict: Changed.
"The Room Where It Happens" is about the June 1790 dinner between Hamilton, Jefferson and Madison. On whether the June 1790 dinner really happened, our verdict: Compressed.
"The Reynolds Pamphlet" covers the pamphlet Hamilton published to answer a speculation charge. On what the Reynolds Pamphlet is, our verdict: Accurate, for the basic fact that he published it himself.
Our reading: on these three questions, the record matches the show on one and differs on two. The longer pattern is traced in our piece on what the musical leaves offstage.
Two of these songs have their own breakdown on this site: what "Satisfied" means in the show and what "The Room Where It Happens" means. We also follow the duel commandments through the show in how the show reuses its dueling code three times.
One stage scene, "Tomorrow There'll Be More of Us," also called Laurens' Interlude, is not on the recording. Wikipedia describes it as a scene the show's creator made "a conscious decision" to leave off.

Partly. The musical changes Angelica Schuyler’s place in the timeline, compresses a series of meetings into one dinner scene, and leaves Hamilton’s record on slavery disputed among historians.
Hamilton's finale turns away from its own protagonist and toward the people left to remember him. Eliza's fifty years of quiet, documented work reshape what the ending is actually about: not death, but who survives to decide what a life meant.
Did Eliza Hamilton really burn her letters to Alexander Hamilton? The surviving evidence suggests she destroyed much of their private correspondence, but the exact circumstances—and how much she destroyed—remain uncertain.
