YESSSSS. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

So many tropes subverted in this. It's AMAZING.

Before this musical, most Americans vaguely knew that Hamilton was the guy on the 10 dollar bill and that there was a milk commercial about who shot him in a duel. I think one of the reasons for the incredible success was that it's not history that everyone knows, it's the story of the people, and the people override the history.

Also, just twirling and squeeing lots at Hamilton love.

I don't know whether it's something about still being in the fandom world, though inactive, and having that hive-kinda mind, but Hamilton has spread like a virus through it ;) I discovered Hamilton through my old West Wing friends.

Lin-Manuel Miranda: Complete frelling genius and walking pop-culture slot machine. I really must get around to actually reading the annotations on genius.com that I keep hearing so much about.
