  Hamilton is a rare piece of music that is musically wonderfull, and impressively cerebral at the same time. The only musical that comes close is Jesus Christ Superstar, and it loses (in my books). A hip hop musical that won a pulitzer - and it's firing on all cylinders musically and in literary form the whole time. Lin Manuel Miranda worried for years for individual pieces and you can hear it. Several pieces are near perfect and I could listen it over and over. Hamilton himself as a historical character is unebelievable. It is an astounding story however you look at it. A - in the literate sense - a poor bastard born in the middle of nowhere in Caribia ends up one of the founders of the greatest political experiments of his time. While his endeavours lacked mathematical and scientific output he is actually the prototypical historical super geek. He was a product of englightenment and book printing. He engorged himself on the literature of the time and deviced systems in his head which he then implemented with great vigour. While obviously skimping on historical details, the musical celebrates this victory of pure gumption again and again while not forgetting the critical human weaknesses of his character

    I think it may be remembered as one of the most notable artistic works of the 21st century. It’s seriously that good.
