Hamilton On the 4th

“Hamilton’s” the show to watch On Independence Day. If you’ve not seen it, find out if You can concoct a way. On Broadway, it was magical – No one would disagree – But what appealed to me the most Was, oh, the poetry! The acting, music, costumes, sets Were all top-notch, indeed, Yet all those rhyming lyrics must be Brilliant to succeed. And that they are! Rewatching, I Remembered the advice – Have by your side the written words, On paper or device. Or memorize them, like my son, So you’ll appreciate The fact that they are super-mega- Ultra flat-out great! July the 4th ‘s for barbecue And fireworks and such. Still, if you can, catch “Hamilton” – You’ll like it oh, so much!

ilene, this was super-mega-ultra flat-out great! I still have yet to see the show, but it has been recommended to me by many. Your tip to have the printed lyrics in hand is one I will have to remember. Thanks for this great write and endorsement!

You have written an enticing review here, Ilene...My daughter saw it in New York as well. She echoes what you wrote 100%, plus: "Dad, you lazy bum, get out of your armchair and go see it!" Ha, ha. She's right about everything except the armchair. Cheers, Gershon
