My sentiments exactly. I saw it Friday and then watched it again Saturday! Then bought the cast recording and have listened to THAT almost twice through! I cannot get enough - forty some-odd songs and not one of them is bad! ---

I bought the cast album last night so I could keep listening to it without streaming it on Prime. The album is the entire play, all 2 hours plus. I think the only thing not there is the bit where the letter arrives from John Laurens’ father, telling Hamilton of John’s death. I wonder if Disney plans to sell a DVD of it. I’d buy it … ---
