I don't see a thread on this masterpiece and I feel like it's imperative for everyone to know about Hamilton the Musical.
For months now I've been absolutely obsessed with this hip hop musical. It's a work of pure complete genius. I'm convinced that this will go down as one of the best Broadway musicals of all time.
It tells the story of Alexander Hamilton and other founding fathers through a mix of rap, hip-hop, r&b and also with a cast comprised almost entirely by people of color. It is phenomenal.
It has pretty much universal acclaim. The New York Times said, "I am loath to tell people to mortgage their houses and lease their children to acquire tickets to a hit Broadway show. But Hamilton, directed by Thomas Kail and starring Mr. Miranda, might just about be worth it."
I've been listening to the cast album non-stop (NON-STOP!) and every. single. time. I listen to it, it moves me completely and totally. So have at it friends. Enjoy!
