I've not been to NYC in a couple of years, but I keep an eye out for what's hot on Broadway, the Met, and the Metropolitan Museum. I'd heard that Hamilton was the hot ticket on Broadway right now, but couldn't quite grasp how it could be. Then, I read an article in The Hollywood Reporter by Lin-Manuel Miranda (as told to a writer) talking about how Hamilton came to be. It's an interesting read, if you are interested in Broadway, but also for lots of other reasons. I'm always amazed by creativity and reading how this musical came about was interesting. Miranda also talks about diversity and politics, and how Hamilton is relevant in our current political climate.
A quote from the end of the article: "Art engenders empathy in a way that politics doesn't, and in a way that nothing else really does. Art creates change in people's hearts. But it happens slowly."
