We now need to talk about @Lin_Manuel who is an unantural talent. I don’t know that I’ve ever left a theater so genuinely shaken by the level of writing I’d just witnessed. It was what I imagined people felt when they first saw Hamlet in 1603. To have a musical filled with over
Two and a half hours of lyrics and have ever single one of the words not only land to utter perfection but transcend the cultural zeitgeist to become more than a Broadway musical but a part of our everyday vernacular is something I’ve frankly never really witnessed or imagined
Possible. To add to the insanity of the talent behind the words and music, he also makes it impossible to imagine any other human being playing the role of Hamiton because he literally transforms into the man and almost doesn’t allow you to see the founding father as anything
BUT Lin. It’s a magic act. Thank you @Lin_Manuel and every single person who gave us perhaps the greatest piece of art in my lifetime behind nd on stage.
