I’ll come clean: I didn’t fully understand what was going on in the rap-heavy, genius work-of-160-minute-long-art about American founding father Alexander Hamilton.

However, after some Wikipedia searches, conversations with fans and really listening to the lyrics while plugging into the soundtrack on runs, I properly fell in love with Hamilton while watching the original production, starring Lin-Manuel Miranda, on Disney+.

Angelica toasting “to the groom! To the bride!”; Eliza burning the letters built with “palaces out of paragraphs”; King George spitting out “you’ll be back” – it is 100% worth doing the groundwork to fully enjoy this Pulitzer Prize-winning stage production.
