Hamilton the Musical

The lyrics and music are incredibly clever in conveying the story that the musical is based on. Despite the fact that it's about an American Founding Father, the story is told engagingly through rap and hiphop.

You do not need to be a fan of hip hop to enjoy this. There are ballads and solos, and the whole story—all 2 hours of it—is sung, so you can follow along just by listening to the album. It made me teary eyed, it motivated me to build something lasting, and it made step back in awe, like how I'd have to move away a bit to see the very top of a tall building. Great stuff.
