Does colouring require a narrative?

1It may be true that not everybody knows how to colour,1 but almost everybody, at least in the Europeanized world, has experience with a specific medium of colouring: colouring books or colouring sheets.2 This statement might have been incorrect a century or more ago. However, since then, the combined forces of cheap printing, affordable crayons, pedagogical theories and practices, the world of advertising and merchandising, and the uncertain career paths of people with some education in the arts have made the emergence of a new creative practice possible. At least since the 1960s, innumerable colouring books have been published in immense print runs throughout Europe and the United States, becoming a part of children’s everyday life to such an extent that when “colouring books for adults” became a trend in the early 2010s,3 they had to be labelled as such—“colouring book” being almost synonymous with “children’s colouring books”.4

1In 1970, 1776, a musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Second Continental Congress was the first full length Broadway production ever performed at the White House. Mary Bracken Phillips, who had replaced Betty Buckley as Martha Jefferson, was allowed to wander the White House in her eighteenth-century costume and appeared like a ghost through the walls to a tour group.1 Almost forty years later, Lin-Manuel Miranda debuted the opening number from his concept album about the life of Alexander Hamilton at a poetry and spoken word night at the Obama White House. Seven years after that, Miranda returned with the cast of his Pulitzer and Tony award-winning musical to perform the show. Both of these musicals are of particular interest to presidents of the United States because they tell the story of the founding of the nation and seek to contribute to a collective understanding of the nation’s history. However, they were performed at the White House under very different circumstances. In this article, I examine the differences in historiography, in how history is told, in Hamilton and 1776 by addressing how each uses the affordances of the musical to comment on controv
