Wow. I had the opportunity to see Hamilton for the first time tonight. As someone who has spent a lot of time watching and performing musical theater, I'm always a bit reserved in my expectations of new shows I see. But man, was I blown away by this one.
I'm not sure what else I can say that hasn't already been said about Hamilton, so I'll just say thank you and congratulations to the cast and the production team for an unforgettable night!
(Coincidentally, the Hamilton Mixtape -- with the likes of Busta Rhymes, Nas, Usher, John Legend, Alicia Keyes performing Hamilton covers -- came out on the same day we went to the show. If you haven't checked this out, I highly recommend it!)
I'll also leave the Steem.it community with some blogging motivation from one of the show's songs, "Non-Stop."
"How do you write like you’re running out of time? Write day and night like you’re running out of time? How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive? How do you write like you need it to survive? How do you write ev'ry second you're alive? Ev'ry second you're alive? Ev'ry second you're alive?"
