Jul. 10th, 2019 08:01 amMy mother recently discovered the musical Hamilton, and fell directly in love. She is now reading the Chernow biography and has also become a Hamilton/Laurens truther to rival the most dedicated of what fandom had to offer in 2015.
As a result of her obsession and her magnanimity -- "I really need someone to see it with who cares! Your father's coming but he won't care!" -- I spent a brief time in Chicago this past weekend with my parents (they were there for a conference) seeing my first actual live production of the show.
( Some brief reactions, bullet-pointed )
Side note: this was also my father's first time encountering Hamilton as anything other than the occasional song my mom played in the car. His opinion: "I wish there had been more about Philip Schuyler. I was really curious about that guy."
