My daughter points out that I saw Hamilton on the night before the show swept the Oliviers, the British equivalent of the Tonys. The show won best musical, best actor in a musical (Aaron Burr, who was competing with the guy who played Hamilton), best lighting (which recreated the Battle of Yorktown onstage), best choreography, best sound, best supporting actor in a musical (King George), and a special award for outstanding achievement in music for Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote Hamilton, and orchestrator Alex Lacamoire.
In case you're thinking of seeing the show over here, the next available tickets are for a Thursday matinee in November. Plan ahead.
