hamilton

it was a night of stars for us ...

first, a quick bite at kung fu little steam buns ramen, around the corner from my office, was surprisingly authentic and tasty! and in the middle of times square!

then the main highlight of the evening: hamilton, originally an off-off-broadway show whose performances were accelerated from the public theatre to the richard rodgers theatre on broadway! book, music, and lyrics all by lin-manuel miranda. the theatre's interiors were absolutely gorgeous, as it was recently renovated last year as explained to us by the usher. the theatre's seating left much to be desired however haha! there was about 3-4 inches of space for legroom between the edge of our seats to the back of the seats in front of us.

the amazing performances by the cast of hamilton made it all worth it however. i had read many reviews by this point about hamilton, but none of the articles prepared me for what was to come! great music, lyrics, and vignettes of revolutionary war history to a hiphop beat :)
