If the Hamilton hype train has somehow passed you by, let us enlighten you. It’s a musical that tells the story of American founding father, Alexander Hamilton. That might not sound instantly gripping but it’s an amazing tale. Besides having a surprising number of twists and turns, it’s all told through the medium of hip hop, R&B, and rap, with more than a hint of traditional-style show tunes too. It’s a true tour de force and it’ll make you laugh, cry, and generally feel far more excited about history than anyone ever has before.
