Hamilton
I’ve been completely obsessed with Hamilton ever since I watched it for the first time on Disney+ back in 2022. I was lucky enough to see it live in 2023 for my birthday, and honestly… the obsession has never stopped. I could literally talk about Hamilton for hours the songs, the characters, their reactions, everything. It’s basically a tradition at this point: Hamilton is always in my Spotify Wrapped every year.
What’s crazy is how my favorite song keeps changing all the time. It’s really phases (right now I’m definitely in my Yorktown era). And honestly, Lin-Manuel Miranda is an actual genius. Like, this man wrote a whole song about a meeting where we don’t even know what actually happened !!! Who does that ??? Absolute legend.
As for the characters, I definitely have my favorites: Angelica (“I will never be satisfied.”), King George (because it’s impossible not to sing his parts dramatically), and of course Lafayette, because as a French person, I have to support him. 🇫🇷“Immigrants, we get the job done”.
The frustrating part is that Hamilton isn’t really that well-known in France. It’s hard to find people to talk about it with here, and even harder to get the chance to actually see the show live. So when I did, it honestly felt really special.
Anyway, I could go on about Hamilton for hours.
“Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” Well… obviously me.
