Hamilton is coming to Chicago, will soon be even more inescapable
People love Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical Hamilton, to the extent that it’s rapidly approaching 2010-2012 levels of Community fandom. That means eventually, the cool kids will be singing all of the big numbers from Hamilton II, and everyone else will be banging rocks together while grunting. However, the problem with Hamilton is that its status as a Broadway musical limits its cultural impact. Sure, you can listen to the cast recording and watch YouTube videos at home, but in order to get the proper experience you actually have to go to New York City.
