" Hamilton: An American Musical" has been taking over the internet, and the world, as of late, but it totally deserves all the hype. Hamilton just scored a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations, surpassing the 15 previously held by The Producers and Billy Elliot. The hip-hop moves, insane raps and amazing acting make it worth every penny spent on high-priced tickets. Most people are willing to sell a piece of their soul in exchange for Hamilton tickets, and we can totally understand why. It doesn't matter if you see the original, Chicago or New York cast, this musical is unprecedented and deserves every one of its viral mentions.

I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water.
