Playlist of the Week: Hamilton

“There’s a million things I haven’t done, just you wait.”- Alexander Hamilton

I must admit that I have joined the Hamilton bandwagon. Well, I would say I was almost on it from the first time I heard them sing, which I believe was the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; however, I never had a chance to hear the rest of the musical.

I love the whole historical premise of the musical as well. I would have loved to see it when I was in New York in March but the tickets are more than I pay in rent each month. I even had a coworker with a friend that I could buy tickets from but my priorities are elsewhere this year.

 It's not your typical musical, so even if you don't like musicals give it a try! It's a great blend of a variety of music styles, including hip hop, R & B and traditional theater. Plus it has that amazing story line as well.

That story is based on the award winning book about Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. The musical follows the life of Hamilton, from coming to the United States from the Caribbean, to fighting the British and helping to found this country.

Maybe someday I will get to see this amazing musical but until then I will just listen to the soundtrack over and over since I finally have it on my computer! Check it out at the library or download it today!
