Have you heard of a little musical called HAMILTON?  Considering how much attention this show has gotten for the past three years, it almost seems impossible for it to be as good as people say it is.  Surely people are just caught up in the hype and the moment?

It hits the sweet spot of compelling characters, catchy songs, excellent performances and fantastic dance sequences.
