You guys, I've been listening to Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton cast recording basically nonstop today and it is AMAZING. I don't even understand how a hip-hop rap musical about Alexander Hamilton even got MADE, but it DID and I don't even known anything about either hip-hop or Hamilton and it is completely awesome and I have been tearing up a little over it (though maybe that is breastfeeding hormones), and I just went and reserved the Chernow biography from the library. (Miranda apparently read the Chernow biography on vacation and thought, wow, that would make a great hip-hop musical! AND THEN HE WROTE IT. How cool is that?!)

Link here, I suspect it's only good until Sept 25, when the recording becomes available. ETA: Link is still good. Also, Amazon Prime is streaming it free for Prime members.

I want to see this so badly!

ETA: CABINET DEBATES AS RAP BATTLES. GREATEST THING EVER.

All I know about Alexander Hamilton I learned from this fic. Which apparently means I think he had magical powers and slept with George Washington.

I know! This is like one of the more amazing things I have heard about this year. I completely want to purchase the cast recording and I so want to see the production if it comes to my area.

ALL CABINET BATTLES SHOULD BE RAP BATTLES. YUP

Am now wishing I had seen this last weekend instead of the rather "meh" Fun Home. Oh well. More reasons to plan future trips to NYC!

Thank you! Also, I got nothing done last night because I was listening to this. But the dirty dishes and unfinished code were worth it :)

We keep saying that we need to go to New York to visit B's cousins -- this might be the tipping point :)
