Hey everyone!
Sorry about the “brief” break here on Chaos Regnum (By “brief,” I mean almost five years).
So, to honor the first blog post in 2017 (and in five years), I would like to introduce y’all to something that I call Hamilton: An American Musical.
Tickets to this very well-composed hip-hop/rap and history combination sell like hot cakes. Yes, I would LOVE to see Hamilton. No, this is not an infomercial.
So, Hamilton is a very successful musical about the life of the “ten-dollar Founding Father without a father”— Alexander Hamilton.
Written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the cast is of mixed cultures— specifically Latin Americans and African-Amercians.
It begins with Hamilton immigrating to the US from his birthplace: Charlestown, St. Kitts and Nevis. He actually wrote a collection about his struggles on the island, which enabled Hamilton to receive a ride “on a ship that was New York-bound.”
Y’all are probably wondering, “Annie, why are you writing a blog post about this play?”
I’m blogging about Hamilton because it is the only music that I have been listening to for almost a month, and I am obsessed with it.
AND– Hamilton: An American Musical is performing in Chicago!!
I hope that I’ll be lucky enough to see the production, as some of my closest friends have already seen it or will see the play soon.
So, that’s all for today folks!
I’m going to leave you with some wise words from Aaron Burr:
“Talk less. Smile more. Don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for.” (Quote from “Aaron Burr, Sir”)
