I haven't even seen the show (only listened to it) and I still cried while reading this, so I think that's an automatic 5 stars.
Dammit, this show makes me patriotic.

I'm not the biggest Hamilton fangirl but I was definitely interesting in the process of creating such a big hit. What I got out of this book was more than I expected. While this does go through a lot of nuances specific to musical theater, it is absolutely the kind of book that someone pursuing a creative endeavor needs to read. The work, the dedication, the way that Lin-Manuel Miranda worked and modified and edited and took feedback and worked is inspiring and amazing. Of course, it made me appreciate the nuances of the musical itself but even more, it made me fall in love the creative process again.

Today is a day for books that are beautifully designed and an absolute joy to hold in my hands. This behind-the-scenes look at the making of America’s current hottest musical is accented with cast and crew moments and stunning photography. The footnotes includes with each song’s full text are both amusing and insightful. It’s very seldom that I pick up a book that makes me excited for its source material, but Hamilton: the Revolution succeeds with every turn of the page.

A lightweight but competent behind the scenes docco followed by some lovely insights into the creative process from Lin.

Fascinating and interesting. Learning about the whole process, the actors and the breakdown and annotations of each of the songs.

Fun and awesome. Largely consisting of lyrics, but who cares? I love Hamilton :)
Unnecessary swearing and some political opinions I don't agree with, just like the musical, so 4 stars :)
