??????????????????????????????

@Masterkey

It's a Broadway musical about the life and death of Alexander Hamilton.

alrighty then

@Masterkey

Yump

@WriteOutofTime

The reason why a lot of people freak out about it is because its a rap/hip hop styled musical performed by a mostly minority cast. Everyone in it is extraordinarily talented and the songs are hella catchy.

@Masterkey

Yeah and the awesome representation in people and music is just ONE of the reasons it's so great. Awesome history told with no bias that teenagers everywhere love?? WHAT A VICTORY. I loved learning about the American Revolution, and Hamilton reignited that fire in me. :D And it's about an underrepresented figure in history that everyone seemed to hate, Hamilton. Inspired by an awesome biography.

@Masterkey

AND THE LYRICS ARE GENIUS. I think just listening to those lyrics makes someone smarter, like how listening to complicated classical music does the same. XD

It's a musical. And the music, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda (who, incidentally, wrote a lot of music for Moana), is absolutely incredible. It contains quotes like: Death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints, it takes and it takes and it takes [Wait For It]. You and your words flooded my senses. You built me palaces out of paragraphs [Burn]. What is a legacy? It's planting seeds in a garden you never get to see [The World Was Wide Enough]. I will send a fully-armed battalion to remind you of my love [You'll Be Back], among many more. I highly recommend bingeing his Hamilton music.

I haven’t seen Hamilton, but I really want to. It sounds great!

@amber_is_in_a_loop

I'm seeing next week Tuesday

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

Lucky!

@amber_is_in_a_loop

In fact, in preparation, I'm listening to a playlist right now! Lol. I'm addicted to it

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

My aunt is going to see it and I really want to come with her. The problem is that I’m going to have to miss a day of school if I come because she lives so far away. She’s talking with my parents about me coming, but I doubt they’ll let me.

@amber_is_in_a_loop

Well I hope they let you go! :3

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

Thanks! I hope so too!

Was it good? Don’t spoil it!

@amber_is_in_a_loop

That's like telling a clown not to say a joke…

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

All I’m asking for is wether Demiphoenix would recommend it to me. It’s a simple yes or no question!

@amber_is_in_a_loop

Lol ik I'm joking

@ravens

It's history. You can't spoil something that already happened in real life.

@m1dn1g7t_ri0ts_13

I don’t really know the story of Hamilton yet. I guess i’ll have to learn!

@ravens

I guess so
