OK, so this FINALLY happened...! My gf Shawna and I experienced HAMILTON at the Ohio Theatre last night and it definitely lived up to all the hype!
Naturally we had seen, read and heard a lot about it, and we had watched the documentary, " Hamilton's America ," so we had decent background on this MAJOR Broadway pop culture phenomenon.
Incase you don't know, Hamilton won 11 Tony Awards , AND the Pulitzer Prize!
From the press release:
"HAMILTON is the story of America's Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, an immigrant from
the West Indies who became George Washington's right-hand man during the Revolutionary
War and was the new nation’s first Treasury Secretary. Featuring a score that blends hip-hop,
jazz, blues, rap, R&B, and Broadway, HAMILTON is the story of America then, as told by
America now."
"With book, music, and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda , direction by Thomas Kail , choreography by
Andy Blankenbuehler , and music supervision and orchestrations by Alex Lacamoire,
HAMILTON is based on Ron Chernow ’s biography of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton."
*HOW TO GET YOUR TIX:
