Hamilton : an American musical : original Broadway cast recording

"[As seen on Public Theater, New York:] This exuberant and original new musical mashes up genres from rap to operetta, creating a flawed but glorious portrait of the face on the $10 bill ... This isn't parody and it isn't even pastiche. Sure, a lot of the lines are borrowed from elsewhere and a lot of the music sounds very familiar ... But the styles complement and clash so extravagantly and exuberantly that they create new genres of their own ... With a show this brash and nimble, this historically engaged and startlingly contemporary, Miranda confirms his promise as one hell of a teller".
