I really love Elizabeth/Eliza Schuyler too, though . . . Oh, by the way, did you know that the actress who plays Eliza just signed on for a smallish part in Disney's newest animated musical, "Moana"? I AM SO EXCITED FOR THAT FILM. It's gonna be awesome.

It's a duet between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, singing about the experience of becoming fathers for the very first time. I love it so much. <br /><br />(I also just shared a Google+ video with you, from the "Hamilton" performance at the Tonys; if you start it at the moment I marked--5:17--you won't run into any swearing.)

"Hamilton" is one of my top f...Okay, SO! "Hamilton" is one of my top favorite musicals and I love to talk about it, so I can tell you All The Things :-) <br /><br />Basically, it tells the story of Alexander Hamilton's life, public and private; so it includes the Revolutionary War and the Constitution and the first years of the Republic and all that. It's a beautiful, powerful, emotional story and the music is AWWWWWWWWESOME--but yeah, it definitely has some mature and "gritty" content. <br /><br />Basically, there is a fair bit of swearing; not in every single song, but certainly in some of them, including the f-word. Also, there are several vulgar references to sex; plus there's one song that tells the story of Alexander Hamilton's affair with Maria Reynolds that I would recommend skipping altogether. (It's called "Say No To This.") <br /><br />Overall, it's a really amazing piece of artistry with an awesome message, but if you're uncomfortable with swearing, etc, it may be something you'll want to leave till you're older . . . <br /><br />Although, there are a few beautiful songs with no objectionable content that I would HIGHLY recommend listening to, even if you don't want to listen to the whole musical: <br />"Helpless"<br />"Satisfied"<br />"You'll Be Back"<br />"History Has its Eyes on You"<br />"Dear Theodosia"<br />"One Last Time"Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-46708515032869346082016-06-14T16:06:34.314-04:002016-06-14T16:06:34.314-04:00I know this is really random (and I apologize for ...I know this is really random (and I apologize for using your comments box for this, Olivia!) but could you tell me a little about "Hamilton", Jessica?

But I like them . . . odd . . . ;-) <br /><br />A good CFR book--now THAT is definitely something to celebrate. There just aren't so many out there, sadly. But I'm glad this one was good!!<br /><br />Speaking of fashion--have you seen any of the dresses from the Tonys last night? They were BEAUTIFUL, especially Renee Elise Goldsberry's (in my very biased opinion, that is ;-) ) (She's one of the stars of "Hamilton" and she plays my favorite character in the show, so . . .)
