Hamilton for All!

How lucky we are to be alive right now! During this socially distant time of civic unrest, we are given a tiny gift of a beautifully edited stage production on Disney+. I was lucky enough to open a show (School of Rock) the same season as Hamilton, and was able to see it before the cast recording came out. This show is important in so many ways outside the theatre community, and this is one of my favorite reasons why. This article breaks down all the sneaky “Easter Eggs” Lin-Manuel Miranda put into his show. From a Gilbert and Sullivan tune, to a Jason Robert Brown reference, to a TON of homages to Hip Hop Greats like DMX, Biggie, and Mary J. Blige among others. Check it out!
