After all the hype, I was impressed by the brilliance of the theatrical experience that makes Hamilton a groundbreaking hip-hop/rap opera! The entire experience of this show is much more than the total of its individual elements! This ingenious work dares to take the Broadway musical into new, uncharted territory that combines history with contemporary language, current musical styles to make history come alive in a most engaging manner. The concept by  Lin-Manuel Miranda and his creatives grabs us and keeps us flowing with spectacular movements and dances with provocative  rhymed vernacular and haunting, emotionally-charged music. Throw-in a campy King George for comic relief and Hamilton makes the history of the founding of America come alive.
