Hamilton

Finally! I have long wanted to see the hit stage musical, Hamilton, and last Wednesday I finally did, tagging along in the company of the lovely Robin with my nephew Vince Montemurro as he treated his mother, my sister-in-law Mariruth, for her birthday.

It wasn't cheap but it sure was fun. The CIBC Theatre in Chicago is a stately place for Hamilton, Burr, Washington, Jefferson, and the Schuyler sisters to sing, rap, and dance their way through the momentous events of America's founding. I managed to refrain from singing along and only cried a few times. Being in the room where it happened was an experience I will long remember.
