Hamilton!
« on: May 05, 2016, 09:38:27 AM »
Any Mustachians seen it yet?  Sold out for the foreseeable future, unless you can pay $500 to a reseller, or win one of the daily ticket lotteries. 

But the soundtrack is soooo good
(And you can get Ron Chernow's bio from the library for free)

I've read the book, and listened to the musical a few hundred times, Hamilton has been one of my role models for a very long time, up there with Nikola Tesla and Tom Schultz. I think if Lawrens hadn't been killed, Hamilton would of became the 2nd or 3rd president. I don't think he would of had the Reynolds affair, nor duel Burr. We would probably have advanced a bit quicker with him as president, although he was very ambitious and could of gotten us into a few wars that might of been bad. He was very young as well, and there were no term limits, he could of been president for 30 years(which would possibly be a bad thing). What ifs are fun

I have a credit card set aside to buy and flip tickets the next time they are available for sale. I've already discussed the purchase with my husband.

By complete coincidence, I read Chernow's book a few weeks before the musical came out. Fantastic read, totally recommend. And while you're at it, read his book on John D Rockefeller too.

I can't justify a $1000 for a pair of tickets though, so it will have to wait until it starts touring.

You can listen to it on YouTube for free, it’s also available on Amazon Prime music and Apple music if you have either of those
