Hamilton!
Our big Mother’s Day weekend event was going to see the musical “Hamilton,” which we did last Saturday. So some background: Like most everyone else, I had watched as the musical took the country by storm the year before last, and I asked Q to get us tickets when it arrived in San Francisco this spring. We’ve all been listening to the songs for months, so by the time the show came around the girls knew the whole story and could watch out for their favorites (including “Washington on your side”, “You’ll be back” and, of course, “Alexander Hamilton”). We all loved the show (no surprise there!), and we’ve had the songs on non-stop ever since. (Some new faves include “What’d I miss”, “Cabinet Battle #1 and “The Schuyler Sisters” – the latter which Avery and I like to sing together. “Angelica!” I sing, to which she calls out “Eliza!”)
The show is one that really sticks with you (there’s a reason it won all those Tonys and that so many people are obsessed with it) and isn’t something we’ll soon forget. And I love that someday the girls can tell their kids, “I remember when my parents took us to see Hamilton…”
