I don’t agree with this definition of what’s an “original musical,” but Hamilton IS based off of an intellectual property: Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow

Betty Boop has been around since the 30s?"

And Hamilton has been around since1755. Just because it's not an original character doesn't mean the musical isn't original."

Got it. Alexander Hamilton was an actual person, Betty Boop and the associated characters were created by Max Fleischer. An original musical is one not based on an intellectual property which Betty Boop is. Alexander Hamilton and US History is not."

HAMILTON is based on a book by Ron Chernow. A book is, technically, intellectual property, even if it is not IP that sells tickets.

Throughout the history of Broadway there have been many a good & bad musical based on previously existing material, and many a good & bad musical conjured directly from the brain of the composer/librettist.
