I'm making this post because I haven't seen any Hamilton appreciation on this site so far, and I really want to talk to someone about the musical/ soundtrack because it's recently become my life obsession. xD Any fans of Hamilton out there?

mate what is this musical
Literally only the best thing to ever grace this planet. It was a smash hit at won 11 Tony Award from the 16 it was nominated for! It basically takes history, but makes it cool. It's a musical detailing the life of Alexander Hamilton, the guy who established the American Treasury. JUST LISTEN TO THE SOUNDTRACK IT'S SO AMAZING AGHHHH

Oh my god that sounds amazing! My social studies teacher actually managed to get tickets somehow and saw it in Broadway with the original cast and everyone in the class who knew about Hamilton was so mad that she got to go! xD We all need a little Ham in our lives.
I honestly hope you're joking. Hamilton has one of the most diverse casts of any musical ever.
don't e ven get me started on how obsessed I am with Hamilton
Alright so I discovered Hamilton through a friend who is a broadway freak. I heard My Shot first. I was obsessed with that song. Then, two other friends and the first friend all saw it, loved it, and then recommended Satisfied. I fell in love with Angelica. Then I heard It's Quiet Uptown and that broke my heart, but I didn't have the context. So, I sat down and listened to the whole musical.
Aw man. My life changed forever after that. I'm not kidding about that. Immediately after finishing the musical's soundtrack, I began research on not only A. Ham, but everyone else involved with his story (other than Thomas Jefferson bc f--- him.) Because of the research, I also learned a lot about the revolution, the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, and y'know, America's Founding Fathers. Not gonna lie, I had a real appreciation for history when I was going through this whole Hamilton thing...
But let me talk about Lin Manuel Miranda. Lin is a talented man. He also did In The Heights, and I saw a high school production of it and it was a really great experience. But his writing...for a writer, it's inspirational. I watch his interviews, I read articles, and he is an amazing man. I listened to this speech and felt so uplifted. As someone going through a really rough time with finding themselves and figuring out what life was all about, for the first time in years, I felt like I knew where my life was going to go. I felt ready. I follow him on twitter and have notifications on because his tweets are (sometimes) very motivating. [ Tweets below ] His response to the Orlando shooting...his speech when he won the Tony!! What he has done for people is truly incredible.
BAck to Hamilton bc yikes
So y'all already know that getting tickets = nightmare. My best friend got into Hamilton much later in the game. We looked for shows. $1000+ on stub hub and they might not even be legit. Otherwise through official and trusted sources, we would have to see it in 2017. We don't know where we would be in Jan 2017. So we're like "rip us seeing it". BUT my friend's dad got tickets for our Hamiltrash group. Lucky us!! Except it's a month after Lin leaves!!! And Phillipa Soo!! ANd Leslie Odom Jr!!! I'm so sad but it'll be okay. We're seeing Hamilton in August!!!
Hamilton helped make my friend group grow closer. We're all so close now. We all learned new things about each other because of this beautiful thing.
Also mentioning Alexander Hamilton gets to stay on the $10 bill !!!! yay !!!!

But when I fantasize at night,
It’s Alexander’s eyes
As I romanticize what might
Have been if I hadn’t sized him
Up so quickly
At least my dear Eliza’s his wife;
At least I keep his eyes in my life…
It’s Alexander’s eyes
As I romanticize what might
Have been if I hadn’t sized him
Up so quickly
At least my dear Eliza’s his wife;
At least I keep his eyes in my life…
Look into your eyes, and the sky’s the limit I’m helpless!
Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em
Down for the count, and I’m drownin’ in ‘em
I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
From the moment I read them
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine

OH MY GOD YES. I LITERALLY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU JUST WROTE!
I'll admit that I have rapped to Angelica's part in Satisfied even though I'm a boy. SATISFIED IS SO GOOD. But also Th Schuyler Sisters. IM BASICALLY ANGELICA'S UNDERSTUDY
If I were to list my top 3 songs, these were the fist ones to come to my mind:
Schuyler Sisters
Satisfied
Election of 1800
And for my least favorite:
FARMERS REFUTED GOD THAT SONG IS TERRIBLE

i had no idea what it was until i saw a post somewhere about it being a racist musical. aside from that i barely know anything.
the name always made me think it was some weird, super old book or something written by like uh shakespear or someone lmao

And suddenly it makes it not racist?
I honestly don't see where you're coming from with this. Please explain to me how Hamilton is racist.
