You know the founding fathers from United States? Now, would you believe me if I told you that someone wrote a musical about one of them? You don’t, do you? Well, you better should because there is one and it’s magnificent.

The musical is about Alexander Hamilton -a bastard, orphan, son of a whor….ok, sorry- who was the first Secretary of Threasury and defender of the Constitution. The play was written by American (with Puerto Ricon parents) actor and composer, Lin-Manuel Miranda. Lin took the inspiration from Ron Chernow’s biography book anout Alexander Hamilton. The play is filled with rap songs and a amazing choreography.
