I am complete Hamilton trash. (Don't take that the wrong way. If you don't know about fandoms, that's a way fangirls express they are in the fandom of something and I am a HUGE fan of Hamilton) I absolutely love Hamilton. If you think I'm talking about the founding father that has been dead for over 200 years, you're right. But mainly I am talking about the broad way musical, by Lin Manuel Miranda. This man is amazingly talented and is honestly an inspiration. Sadly, I have not seen the musical in person but I guarantee I know the entire soundtrack and deleted songs by heart.

First of all, this musical is rap. One song holds the record for most words said per minute on a broad way musical. These raps are amazing and innovative to the musical community. The man himself, Lin Manuel Miranda, played Alexander Hamilton. And he completely nailed it. Lin made his vision come to life with his words and as the original Alexander Hamilton. The rap is not the only reason I am absolutely in love with the musical and it's actors. The message Lin is sending is amazing.

If you've ever read a history book, you know all those men, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, all grew up in a world where if you weren't a white male, you had no rights or say in the world and absolutely no way to succeed. Instead of telling the story where white men made America, he represents the way America looks now. Thomas Jefferson is played by a Daveed Diggs and nobody could have played him better. I could right a whole other post just about him. I could write it about pretty much anybody from the original cast. Lin Manuel Miranda plays Alexander. There is an entire song dedicated to women working and they show the women behind these men that allowed them to become who they were. He stresses the fact that he doesn't support the original people his musical is based off of, but wanted to show the founding of America by people in America today. He doesn't justify anybodies viewpoints and instead makes them to be better, so when you picture the making of America, it's with every citizen being represented and I think that is amazing.

The message behind his voice, the pure genius that is Lin Manuel Miranda in this musical and making this musical inspires me to work harder and be better. His ingenious shows as he stills keep historically close to the story while empowering the people who were never given a voice before. This man is my idol and I would absolutely love to meet him in person or go see his musical, or any of his work for that matter. I could easily write thousands of words about him if only there was enough in the English language to genuinely capture this man's amazing talent.

I would absolutely be honored to ever meet him or see Hamilton: The Musical. I already have merchandise and would love to get more. I know for a fact if I did I would cry, but the tickets are extremely expensive and hard to get, not to mention, I live nowhere near Broadway. I'm not complaining though. It is rightfully expensive and popular. I wouldn't have it any other way, because Lin deserve the success and recognition he gets and so do the actors.
