There’s a story that once upon a time Lin-Manuel Miranda (the author, playwrite and actor of “Hamilton”...oh, and he wrote the music too) was talking with Barack Obama about his intention to do the life of Hamilton in a Broadway rap musical. The response he got was a tongue-in-cheek,”Good luck with that.”
Cut to last night when my daughter was over and connected us to her Disney + account...and we all watched Hamilton. In a word, WOW! Yes, absolutely a stunning show. But even more amazing is that one man could have done all that. The human potential really does appear to be almost without limits.
Note: my wife and daughter went to NYC last year on a girl’s long weekend. While there they went to a play, on Broadway. During the show they let attendees sign up for a “drawing” for a ticket to see Hamilton, the following day. My kid was one of a very few winners and got to see the show on Broadway. She is almost literally a Broadway fanatic so that special thing was a once in a lifetime thrill for her. How nice. My wife was so happy for her, she cried. :roll: Girls.
