Hamilton.
It's my favorite because a cast recording never captured me the way this one did. I'd listen over and over discovering a new layer and a new meaning to the lyrics. How something I never saw with my eyes could connect me and make me cry. The use of layering lyrics of a song, combined in a kind of harmony (Schuyler Sisters and Non-Stop) forgive me for not knowing the technical name for this, I just loved hearing it and how one could zone in on one character in the song and listen to what were saying. When I saw it staged and how with minimal props and scenery, I could visualize everything that was being told. The Bullet! And how she was pretty much used as the omen of death with who she came in contact with. How much I learned about a topic I never thought I'd be interested in! How it made me feel proud as a latina to have Lin-Manuel, someone from my neck of the woods--be so influential and create this wonderful show. So influential, I have two part time jobs now: one in theater and one at the bank!

1. Dear Evan Hansen
2. Book of Mormon
3. Once
4. Gentleman's Guide
5. Kinky Boots
6. Fun Home
7. Hamilton
8. Memphis
Newsies, Matilda, American in Paris, Come From Away, and Great Comet would be higher than most of these if they had won

Posted: 6/11/18 at 4:42pmhamilton is probably the best best musical since at least the producers if not a chorus line
