I feel like the only songs I can sing along with are King George's. I still sound terrible, but it's less painful than the others.

George's songs are so good for belting. "Oceans rise, empires faaaaaaallll"

I listened to Hamilton while mowing the yard the other day and may have sung along a bit.

Dear Theodosia kills me too. Both fathers outlive the babies they're singing to.    Theodosia was lost at see going to visit her father. No one knows what happened to the ship.

That song even got Lin!

Tonight when H and I were going to dinner and I played "Alexander Hamilton." Then I was like, "You just have to listen to 2 more songs!" and he was like, "No, I want to wait until we see it." And then turned on the radio that was playing Collective Soul ersumshit and I was LEGIT MAD I was listening to some to some basic radio drivel. Anyway, I don't want to ruin his experience but I did remind him it's not until August 2017, and you know, I'm not tampering my enjoyment, strap in motherfucker!

AAAAAHHHH!! I must have talked about Hamilton for hours at work yesterday. Like everyone knows how obsessed I am. I mean, they don't get it, but they all know.

Someone needs to write a Schuyler Sisters biography and make a mint. I'd read it.

LOL.

H was like, "Wow, you're a little obsessed. Tone it done."

I was like, "And howwww many times have we talked about your fucking Star Wars game? Strap in, dude. This is what they mean by for better or for worse."

To tie this all into this election season, I keep thinking " HILLARY HAS BELIEFS.....TRUMP, HAS NONE!!!"

Also, my DS requested we listen to Alexander Hamilton and My Shot while we were hanging around the house last night. And I overheard him saying "i am not throwing away my shot," to himself last night. Parenting win!

I'm now completely obsessed with it, thanks to this thread. (Thanks!!!!) DH comes home and says, "you're listening to that again?"
One way or another, I will see it live some day!

I think I might go see it alone. My friend is willing to come to NY with me, but she won't pay the ticket price. She said she will go shop or get her hair done or something while I am at the play. It would definitely be cheaper than H being my date.

Lin has been confirmed in the new Mary Poppins

www.broadwayworld.com/article/Official-Lin-Manuel-Miranda-Will-Star-in-Disneys-MARY-POPPINS-Sequel-Alongside-Emily-Blunt-20160425

If he sings "Let's Go Fly A Kite" dressed as Ben Franklin, that would amuse me.

Since I can't figure out how to embed video, it,s the Hamilton cast singing about Sweeney Todd. I love Sondheim--less than LMM-- but I do love him. 

[jeaniebueller]

Do you guys know of any books about Hamilton/Washington/other founding fathers that are appropriate for the 1st-2nd grade set? DS is all about Hamilton and I would kind of like to capitalize on his interest with some books.
