  It's on my Spotify while I exercise. It's pretty awesome. "I'm Aaron Burr. I'm the damn fool who shot him."

  It's the best album, writing, music, and musical this year. I've probably listened hundreds of times. The best.

  My girls are going to New York on school trip for Spring Break solely for the Hamilton experience. Guess I am going to have to add it to my inspirational music?

  Yes!! @DumbHollywoodActor I also exercise to it. Actually I do pretty much everything with that soundtrack in the background. But definitely running.
  @bjphillips5 ahhh, yes! So good - I listened to it *non-stop* on an 6 hr roadtrip a few weeks back...
  @twssmith if you can go, do it!! can you get tickets though? I heard it's sold out for quite a while.

  The cabinet battles are great! Well, all the songs are great.
  
  Hamilton will be on PBS's Great Performances in the fall 2016.

  I didn't know about the PBS show! I'll have to catch that. Just checked out Chernow's biography that the musical is based on - I'm so excited to read it!

  I just had to bring this one back for a second because you're the ones who inspired me to listen to Hamilton. This soundtrack is F'N' amazing. Best political musical I've heard since Evita. It's instantly become a fixture on my Spotify playlist and will almost certainly be my most listened to album year.
  As a small token of my gratitude, I offer this collision between Hamilton and one of the most brilliant groups of a generation, The (legendary) Roots (crew).

  In case people are wondering what this “Hamilton" is, here’s one of the first live performances of the opening song (7 years ago, actually. Think about that when you’re upset you’ve had to prep for this test for over 6 whole months), in front of no one less than President Obama:

  My girls are in NYC and seeing Hamilton tomorrow night. Not sure how it happened, but one of my girls just sent me a selfie with Angelica from the show:)

  I know this outs me as an absolute Hamilton nerd, but this was a really interesting read about the commercial success of Hamilton

  Haha yes! Never miss an opportunity to show up the kids on their own turf...
  Anyone else read the Chernow biography the show is based on? I'm about 2/3 finished (it's real long, but fascinating!).
  My main takeaway is Hamilton was a singular genius and Jefferson might be the worst ever. Biased? Nah...

  Is it weird that Columbia has become one of my top choice schools just because I'd like to declare, "I got a scholarship to King's College."?

  Random decompressing moment from the incredible webinar about Str/Wkn questions - Forgive me..
  Some guy named James Corden on his late night show tonight - who is hosting the Tony's - has a moment with Rosie O'Donnell about Hamilton that is funny!

  Sadly, unlike @"Cant Get Right" watching algorithms - I am watching late night tv:)

  Nothing wrong with late night. I like Colbert and Fallon. And even though no one watches it, Last Call with Carson Daly is the best of them all, believe it or not.
