Hamilton

The first time I ever heard of Hamilton, it was from a guy who I thought was annoying. He raved about it. I thought I was cooler than him, so I guess I subconsciously decided to ignore the show.

We moved to New York in 2016. Hamilton was always one of those things we'd "do one day," but tickets are expensive, babysitters are expensive, and in four years we never got around to it. When the pandemic closed Hamilton in March of 2020, I wondered if we had missed our opportunity.

The first time I actually heard a song from Hamilton was a month, when the cast dropped in on John Krasinski's Some Good News.
