“William, is there a show you would like to see when we go to New York?” my mom asks. My mind rushing, “Is there? Is there? OF COURSE!!”! I open my mouth, jaw shaking, ¨My dream, is to uhhh see uhhh. There is…. A show….. Called….. Hamilton?!? I am obsessed. I would do anything to see it!!! I would even pay for my ticket!!!!!¨ My mom responds, ¨Oh! I have heard of it! Sounds like a plan!¨. My jaw drops. I can not speak. It was that easy! My mom will let me see Hamilton!! This is the best day of my life. Hamilton is so important to our history, and such a popular show!
Hamilton. It all started when Lin-Manuel Miranda perfomed his song ¨My Shot¨ at the White House in 2009. People thought it was a joke. A hip hop and rap musical about Alexander Hamilton? They laughed. But now Miranda is laughing at them.
¨There's been lots of theater that uses hip-hop in it, but more often than not, it's used as a joke - isn't it hilarious that these characters are rapping. I treat it as a musical form, and a musical form that allows you to pack in a ton of lyric.¨
Lin-Manuel Miranda, 2015
A hip-hop musical such as Hamilton has never existed, it could not exist without Miranda. But …show more content…
It is so popular that people wait outside all day to possibly get tickets. They only get tickets if a person with a ticket does not show up to the performance! The cheapest ticket you can find is $800, which is for the last row in the house. The show has been sold out for the past year! I am very lucky that my mom got me tickets, it is a once in a lifetime experience, and I get to see it. My mom cares so much about me, that she got me tickets to Hamilton. Not every mom would do something like this for their kids. This situation makes me realize that I take things for granted. I don’t thank them as often as I should. Not everybody is as lucky as me, and I need to appreciate how much my parents do for
