I am a recent “Hamilton” convert. Thanks to the peer pressure from some of my lovely friends, I finally sat down this week and listened to the soundtrack, conveniently in time for the Tony awards. My first the reaction, why didn’t I listen to it sooner? I am sure everyone is sick of reading about how phenomenal this musical is, but it really is something worth celebrating. Lin Manuel Miranda has created a beautiful masterpiece that will hopefully go down in history. The musical transcends its story of the incredible life of Alexander Hamilton. I decided to write down my reactions as I listened to the musical for your entertainment. Warning, there are spoilers.
They started with the phrase “whore”, this is going to be good.
