Disclaimer: Here is a little bit of information about "Hamilton: An American Musical" before you read the on: It's amazing. OK, carry on.
1. It's New
Recommended for you
Good things don't last forever -- we know that from empty Nutella jars -- and new things are always the best things! If you really care about staying updated in any fandom, then you better listen to this.
2. It's about U.S. History
Though this is not your high school teacher's social studies class, this musical tells you the tale of Alexander Hamilton. If you can remember from high school, we rarely talk about Hamilton. I remember barely talking about him. This gives you a chance to see his life from a whole new perspective.
3. Lin-Manuel Miranda is literally goals.
His hair, his skills, his writing, his rapping...Lin can basically do it all. Right now he is the Beyonce of musical theatre. Yeah, I said it. He is a god when it comes to how well he can orchestrate a three-hour musical because of reading a book. He literally read a book and made a musical. That is uh-mazing.
4. The Schuyler Sisters are bad AF
This girls are not your average sisters. They compliment each other vocally and know how to appreciate the stage. And good things come in threes.
5. It has old school R&B
This musical literally makes you want to dance. If not, it makes you want to belt out loud notes in the shower. Though it is based on history, some of the songs are timeless. If you're into old school R&B then you will be incredibly satisfied.
6. "Helpless" will literally be my wedding song
I am in love with this song. Just look at the lyrics:
It makes me want to fall in love.
7. Makes you care about history for like, five seconds
From King George's "I will kill your entire family" song to the Election of 1800, it makes you appreciate where we have been as a nation. And it makes you want to look up fun facts about Alexander Hamilton.
8. The fashion
I do not care what people say, the fashion in the late 1700s is the bomb. Sometimes, I wish our fashion choices were like that not but then again, not really because getting ready for classes would take forever.
9. It has a culturally represented cast.
The diversity in this show is absolutely stunning. A Puerto Rican Hamilton, a half Asian leading female character. This show does it all. I am loving all that melanin.
10. Lin's beautiful hair
Need I say more?
11. It shows you that a hip-hop musical can be a successful thing.
If you have not heard of Miranda's musical theater past, some of his other shows were hip-hop related but were...not so good. But after engrossing yourself with this new album, you realize that he was saving up to make this very very incredible.
12. There's a founding father rap battle
...exactly.
