Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin-Manuel MirandaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook. It was difficult to keep listening to the book straight through since it's basically lined up like the show and you'll want to listen to the songs after you read about it. So I was constantly switching between listening to the audiobook and the cast album. I very much enjoyed learning of the background story of the musical and the long process of putting it on stage. I didn't realize how collaborative Lin was with his cast members in composing the music. The last section of the book is read by Lin himself and he's reading his footnotes for the libretto to the musical. It was a little confusing to follow without looking at the book itself but all the little tidbits were fascinating. I do own the print book as well and it's a gorgeous book to gift to lovers of musical theatre. The pictures are fantastic! Highly recommend.
