Hamilton

why have I been rating Hamilton 4.5 stars up until now? I don’t know what I do know is that seeing it in theaters changed me in the same way watching it on disney+ for that first time in 2020 did. this musical is absolutely magical and honestly blows me away every time I see it.  I’ve yet to fulfill my dream of seeing the stage production on broadway or on one of its touring stops but I still have time and I’m willing to wait for it (get it..?). umm seeing this is an absolute need for all Hamilton fans and honestly anyone who likes the movie-going experience and has yet to see this life-changing musical for themselves. I mean really, this show catapulted my appreciation for musical theater. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since I first watched it! one of the biggest regrets of my life is turning down my mother’s offer to get Hamilton tickets back in 2016. WHAT WAS I THINKING???? I’m rambling but seriously I will likely continue to eat up all of the music that Lin Manuel-Miranda continues to create. I love this cast. I love the music. And I love this story. Thank you, *Hamilton!* (I’m still having difficulty grappling with the fact that George Washington in fact did NOT look like Christopher Jackson and does not have that velvety voice.)
