Book Review
Feb. 5th, 2017 08:26 pmHamilton: The Revolution
by Lin-Manuel Miranda, Jeremy McCarter
Hamilton: The Revolution is a combination of libretto and commentary for the hit musical. It is no secret that I'm a huge fan of Hamiilton, so it should be no surprise that I loved reading this book, affectionately dubbed the "Hamiltome" by the show's fans. The musical's text are interspersed with short chapters covering aspects of the show's development and showcasing members of the original cast. Lin-Manuel Miranda also provides annotations to each number's lyrics. It all makes for an enjoyable read and an entertaining glimpse behind the scenes.
