The Edge

Quick question, what hit Broadway musical stars one of America’s most prestigious and pompous politicians? If you guessed Alexander Hamilton, you are correct! A biography not only told on stage, but rapped as well. In other words, move over Eminem, make room for another brilliant storyteller, known as Lin-Manuel Miranda. This wordsmith wrote, composed and stars in his award winning creation, playing no one other than Alexander Hamilton himself. The play and the album is two and half hours of tongue twisters, anecdotes and plenty of wit. Hamilton serves as a high quality gateway to newcomers of rap music or musical theater. -Jon
