Okay, so let me tell you about this whole Hamilton Todd thing I got into. It all started when I stumbled upon this Broadway show called “Hamilton” – you’ve probably heard of it, right? It’s about Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers. I was curious, so I dove in.
First, I started listening to the soundtrack. Man, those songs are catchy! Especially “Dear Theodosia,” which is sung by both Burr and Hamilton. It gives you a glimpse into their personal lives and their hopes for their kids. I kept playing it on repeat, which annoyed my family, but I didn’t care.
- Started with the “Hamilton” soundtrack.
- Got hooked on “Dear Theodosia”.
- Played it repeatedly (family got annoyed).
Then, I started digging into the actual history behind the show. Turns out, Hamilton was quite the character – a real go-getter, an immigrant who made a name for himself. And he wasn’t afraid to speak his mind, even if it meant stirring up trouble. I read somewhere that he might have called Washington a “creole bastard”. Who knows if that’s true, but it sounds like something he’d say.
I also found out that George Washington owned slaves, and even though Hamilton didn’t, he wasn’t exactly a hardcore abolitionist like the musical makes him out to be. In fact, Burr might have been more progressive on that front. That was a bit of a letdown, to be honest.
- Dug into the history behind the show.
- Learned about Hamilton’s personality and background.
- Discovered the truth about Hamilton and slavery.
Next, I went down this rabbit hole of fan discussions online. People were debating all sorts of things, like their favorite lines from the show. Someone said, “Raise a glass to freedom! Something you will never see again,” and I thought, yeah, that’s a good one. There’s also this funny line about him “constantly confusing, confounding the British henchmen”. This musical really brought out all kinds of hilarious moments and deep thoughts.
- Joined online fan discussions.
- Debated favorite lines and moments from the show.
Finally, I heard they’re releasing a filmed version of the original Broadway cast on Disney Plus. I’m definitely gonna watch that. I mean, after all this, how could I not? It’s like I’ve become a Hamilton expert or something.
- Learned about the upcoming Disney Plus release.
- Decided to watch it.
So, that’s my Hamilton Todd journey. It started with a musical, led me through some history lessons, and ended with me geeking out online with other fans. It’s been a wild ride, and I’m not even sure how I got here, but I’ve definitely learned a lot along the way. The whole experience was just so much fun and kept me busy for a while!
