Hamilton: The Musical

[Initech]

Ok I have to admit that I am not necessarily the biggest fan of musicals, but the few that I have seen have been really good.

Now along comes the musical about Alexander Hamilton. I love hip hop and R&B/funk music. I have to say that I was a bit skeptical about how this was going to work. A modern day hip hop musical based on historically accurate American history? Well after listening to clips on iTunes I am hooked! I will be buying the album ASAP! Has anyone seen it live? Is the stage production of it as good as the album?

Here's a clip:

1. That doesn't sound anything remotely like hip hop/R&B.

Am I missing something?

4. I just grabbed the first clip from YouTube I could find.

I'll go try and find a different clip.

2. I like it. :-) nt

3. The excerpts of it on last night's "60 Minutes" looked pretty good.

And I say that as someone who's no great fan of hip hop.
