This summer Hamilton is all anyone seems to be talking about. And I know this post is late in the game. (My posts are all preplanned and usually prewritten so I can stay on a schedule.) So let’s dive in; shall we?
Hamilton is not only the musical of the summer, I’m pretty sure it will be the musical for the year (if not longer). My husband was super into Hamilton when he heard the soundtrack a few years ago. And I will admit that I liked the music but without the visuals I didn’t immediately love it the way my husband did.
Now between watching it on Disney+ twice myself, and of course seeing probably a million tiktoks on the subject, I CANNOT stop singing it! I think my brain needed the visuals of the actors for everything to fall into place for my little theatre kid heart. I love watching it. love watching tiktoks about it! I love listening to it on my phone.
I love trivia and history facts, but the attention to detail in this musical is mind blowing! I cannot fathom Lin Manuel Miranda’s brain! It is absolutely incredible! I love everything about it! I love that it breaks the norms of theatre and uses a fully inclusive cast. I love that it uses current musical trends to portray historical facts and themes. I love that it’s comedic! I can’t get enough of all the “background” characters!
I highly recommend this to everyone; especially if you haven’t seen it yet! If you haven’t, you are seriously missing out! The performers are so incredibly talented. You will laugh, you will cry, you will GASP is surprise! It is just an all around amazing show! And I’ll leave you with my favorite character: King George. King George is played by Jonathan Groff, and it is an impeccable performance. AWESOME. WOW. If you watch this show for nothing else, watch it for King George!
Stay safe, stay rad, and wash your DANG hands!
