New listener and first time caller. I (very recently) became Hamilton trash and I want to immerse myself amongst the trash. Do you have any recommendations of ways to do that? I feel like Lin is going to kill me slowly with his beauty (he's gorgeous) and passion, so I have that going for me.
welcome and yes, it is my theory Lin-Manuel Mirandaâs final goal is to kill us all
idk how much you have seen but how about i give you some links that helped me when i first dived into the dumpster
where things started (for us at least), Lin at the White House poetry jam in 2009 x
here you can listen to the entire OBCR (if you havent already) with lyrics! x
also, you can read the lyrics here but with annotations (some of them from Lin-Manuel himself) x
and here you can watch some of the showâs officially released clips (itâs 17 minutes of professionally shot hamilton clips i mean asdfgh) x
Hamilton had itâs opening night on broadway in august 6th, 2015, here are some related links from that
the cast taking their first broadway bows (iâm not crying) x
the opening night from the cast perpective, produced by Leslie Odom Jr., it shows how the cast and crew lived that day and itâs beautiful x
the opening nightâs ham4ham show, with Lin-Manuel reading from the 2004 biography of Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow, the book that started it all (grab some kleenex youâre gonna need them) x
and speaking of #ham4ham, this amazing idea of a small pre-show for the lottery public makes me smile everytime a new video is uploaded, you can search for all the shows but here are my favorites
The Schuyler Georges, with the first three actors that gave life to King George III lip-synching(?? sorry idk how to english) to The Schuyler Sisters x
The Ladies from Hamilton performing My Shot is simply amazing x
the Snowmaggedon 2016 put a temporary end to the live #ham4ham performances, but they kept making videos for us. Hereâs my favorite: Ja-Burr, a mash-up of Wait for it and Stars from Les Mis x
speaking of Les Mis, Lin is a big fan and what does a big fan do when presented with oportunity? be a part of the thing! so Lin officially performed as the Loud Hailer in one show (itâs even on his wikipedia page!!) x
Lin-Manuel, in his coolness, not only wrote the musical of the decade but also wrote a cantina song for the new Star Wars movie, on this yearâs May the 4th the song was released and performed by him and JJ Abrams (how cool is that??) x
and other important things like
the cast of hamilton performing at the white house, you know, in front of the president x x
they also performed the ENTIRE opening number at the grammys x
oh and won the grammy for best musical theatre album x
and more recently, apparently thereâs this thing called the Annual Easter Bonnet Competition where broadway productions perform for charity, so the Hamilton cast transformed the opening number to a homage to Sweeney Todd and itâs pretty funny x
so yeah, maybe itâs not a very detailed list of things but you can use this to start, have fun being a trash of the thing!

hey so I really like the Hamilton soundtrack and I'd love to be a bigger part of the fan base but I don't think I'll be able to see it any time soon considering tickets are sold out for the next 6 months. do you know how I could learn more about the show or get to see more of it so I can enjoy all these posts and stuff about it? bc right now I don't know anything about it
hello, friend! without knowing your background/context, hereâs a bunch of info that you might already know: both about the show & keeping up with the current culture around the show. in the interest of being actually a consumable volume, this is a non-completionist highlights anthology. (also, disclaimer: I am not very involved in Broadway fandom, so Iâm sure thereâs particularly a lot out there fandom-wise that Iâm missing!) without further ado, under the read-moreâŠ
