It helps to be the First Lady of the United States to score a ticket to the hottest musical in town.
Michelle Obama spent Saturday afternoon at the matinee of "Hamilton," the soldout hip-hop history lesson about Founding Father Alexander Hamilton by In the Heights" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Just more proof that the obamas hate everything American.

Lately, a”female” dem doing anything up to and including breaking wind has been breathlessly termed “historic”.
Did Aaron Burr hold his pistol gangsta style in the duel?

Guy 1: yo you see that bitch with the weave?
Guy 2: we call that a hair hatted hooligan
I never heard about this musical, but I just looked it up.
I don’t know if this play would be my cup of tea, but I have to applaud the playwright and actors for their interest in celebrating the life of a Founding Father.
I love it! And I am steeling it!
Hey, at least shes out with ordinary Americans.
She be showin Clinton how its done.
I think Michelle could run.
She could probably win in this wacked age we in.
Barack can just contnue on his golf duties while Muzzies lay down the Sharia on the infidels.
The anti-Christ has brought on the beast.
I am not a fan of Hip-Hop, but I saw this play.
It took a few minutes to get used to the rhythm.
Once my ear adjusted I found it very entertaining.
It is based on “Alexander Hamilton” by Ron Chernow, a serious book. The playwright who also wrote the music and stars in the play is an incredible talent.
The staging, story, music and acting is terrific.
Thanks for the feedback. The play does sound interesting, worth looking into further.
Actually, the book by Chernow must be worth looking into, considering how it inspired this young man to write a play about Hamilton.
did you know the path he took to and from his home is BROAADWAY..... yeah sure you did..... and that is why is runs diagonal versus north south like al the other aves...
He might have held his pistol sideways as many paintings of combat from that time show men holding their flintlock pistols sideways so as to cover the touch hole with priming powder.
I had a gentleman explain to me that you really did not want the powder to cover the hole, you wanted it to stay level in the pan just below the touch hole so the explosion of the priming powder would drive the flame through the hole into the main charge.
In the actual duel, Hamilton’s firearm discharged prematurely and Burr then aimed and shot him dead. About thirty years ago, those firearms were disassembled to make copies, and it was found that the firearms had a “set trigger” and Hamilton may have been trying to set the trigger when it discharged. A “set trigger” allows the firearm to discharge the pistol by barely touching the trigger.
I've been hearing songs from "In the Heights" on the radio. They're very enjoyable.
“In the Heights” is Lin-Manuel Miranda’s semi-autobiography.
He is extremely talented and extremely bright.
Thanks for the info. Maybe I’ll have the opportunity to see it!
