Reddit reviews Hamilton: The Revolution

If you love Sondheim I highly recommend his Finishing the Hat/Look, I made a Hat. These two books contain lyrics from all his shows, annotated with anecdotes and insightful observations written by Sondheim himself.

Other musicals also have books that trace the whole development process and provide a behind-the-scene look of the show, such as Hamilton: A Revolution, The Great Comet: The Journey of a New Musical to Broadway and Wicked: The Grimmerie

Maybe sheet music books for those shows, if she doesn't already have them?

Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen also both have really beautiful coffee tables books that would make great gifts. Or the DK book about musicals in general.

The "Hamiltome" the book about the musical: https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Revolution-Lin-Manuel-Miranda/dp/1455539740

I have two favorites... my mom gave me a copy of Hamilton: The Revolution and my friends gave me this convention exclusive Snoopy Funko.

Merry Christmas!

I'm going to recommend picking up the Hamiltome, which provides anotated versions of the lyrics, which manage to be informative (Pointing out historical inacuracies and the dramaturgical reasons why LMM chose to make that change) or just fun little gags ('When you're gone, I'll go mad"^1 1)He did.) about the lyrics.

What's helped me is Hamilton the Podcast and LMM's book Hamilton the Revolution (which I now am seeing that I paid a lot more for at my local bookstore than it is on Amazon. Trying here!)

I'm looking forward to my birthday (May 22nd) just because I'm asking for the Hamiltome as a present, and I'm really excited to get it.

I'm also looking forward to the new seasons of America's Got Talent and Project Runway this summer.

Oh, and I'm really looking forward to the Tony Awards, and hoping that Hamilton wins most of them, since they definitely deserve it! (And I can't wait to see what James Corden is like as the host, too.)
