text: I have been wanting to see Hamilton for about a year. When it first came out, it was very expensive. Some of the travel groups that offered day trips in the area where I live had tickets, but they were very expensive. This time around, the tickets were pricey but not beyond my price range. It wasn't unheard of for people to fly into New York City and pay over $1,000 a ticket. This didn't include their hotel stay. I got a very good deal on tickets as a large group went to the Phillips Performing Arts Center in downtown Orlando, Florida. I've been there many times and knew my way around there. I know what parking garage to park at and where to go. There is a lot of traffic and this time I decided to go by bus with the travel group. We left in the afternoon and arrived at the Winter Park Village 45 minutes later where it was dinner on our own. I didn't really have a dinner as I attended a luncheon in Daytona Beach earlier, so I had my dinner. I went to Cheesecake factory and got some cheesecake. We were given an hour and a half for dinner and then back on the bus to downtown Orlando which was a short trip. It was a sold out crowd. There were a mixture of young and old and a very diverse group of people who attended the show. The story about Hamilton was historically accurate and a lot of things that they brought up in the show were things which were current - issues relating to immigration for example. Some of the individuals in the audience had been to Hamilton before and some a couple of aisles down were singing to the songs. The musical will be around for a long time. It was interesting to see how rap and hip hop music is spun into the story line. It's very unique and it was very good. I liked the play. A play like this would get more younger people interested in American History or at the very least talking about it. As I was thinking about it, I tried to imagine how someone would use disco or classic rock or other type of music in a play or musical relating to the founding fathers. If rap and hip hop can be used as music for history then any type of music could be used as a history lessons.. Songs like I will Survive (it would be we will survive song by Women of the American Revolution, Don't Bring me Down (classic rock song song by the British Army after being defeated) and songs like I'm on Top of the World, We are the Champions (after the victory over the British Army). Looks like we made it could be a song sung after Washington's troops crossed the Delaware, as they didn't know if they were going to make it but it was something they had to do. These are just a few songs that came to mind, although it did take me quite a while to think of these songs. The lyrics would have to be changed to fit what was going on of course. I would recommend seeing Hamilton if you can. I enjoyed watching it and you probably will as well.
